Few monthes ago I wrote vault.nvim plugin for myself for my obsidian notetaking strategy, as addition to obsidian.nvim plugin. A lot of stuff I've done for it based on your videos about neovim plugin development. Thank you!
I don't know why UA-cam keeps deleting my comment, but to sum it up... uhLittleLessDum. It's ridiculous, but I can't figure out how to post anymore information without YT deleting my comment.
Hey Andrew, great videos. I love obsidian, but recently I’ve been using only neovim for markdown editing. Before obsidian I used google docs and that was a pain. I have a few videos regarding markdown in neovim, one for jumping through headings, outline on the right side, and changing headings colors. In case you want to check them out 🙂
Why does the import in Obsidian always hang, and does not complete successfully? I have checked the Dev Console as well in Obsidian - with no errors | messages.
What a coincidency, I'm moving from Notion to Obsidian this week. One thing that is annoying me so much using Linux is the ctrl n / ctrl p to navigate on Obsidian menus, I still didn't find a way of solving this issue. On Mac this doesn't happen because it's command instead of ctrl. But I'm liking so far. Thanks for sharing
so you need to be on the vault path to be able to open a note for then plugin activate, which is uncomfortable given it would be nice to be able to open a note while working on a file
I believe you could use "dynamic" workspaces to edit notes agnostic of your path. github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#usage-outside-of-a-workspace-or-vault
do you know how to create a file through `ObsidianNew` but with according to it's name, it just keeps on having random numbers as the first name, then following with random char afterwards, there's no name of it at all, only in the alias, also it creates at the root on the vault not in e.g. root/Zettlekasten
@@ascourter Two erro message like this: Failed: "d23c8a5d-a7f8-4988-98d1-c246c773f4b5_Export-93287351-cca3-4d4e-abf2-9bcc9761761d.zip/Export-93287351...”. No idea what it means and how to fix it.
Good question. I think the lazy loading breaks when putting the config into after/plugin (www.reddit.com/r/neovim/s/iwic6GrjGb). Thanks for calling this out! I'll make another video on this gotcha after I reorganize my config.
I like obsidian too but i feel notion is still better for a college student as it allows you to host your notes for free of cost on a live website . But we need to pay 8$ monthly in obsidian to host it on a website with help of obsidian publish. But yes both have its own pros and cons.
Definitely tradeoffs like you mentioned. Obsidian can be free but you have to do some work yourself. Notion definitely is easier for collaboration and having notes across many devices without extra steps.
main thing that is good about notion is project management and their databases. (and for some people collaboration. when it comet to notes, then obsidian is leagues ahead. and also privacy and owning your data. + it's free but you can pay for sync or donate if you want to.
@@ascourter honestly, I plan on it. More of a work log and freelancing approach. But it’s also served me well in my career to advance it well. That is a conversation more about the meat of the notes vs what tool you use to do it
What note taking strategy or app do you use?
Few monthes ago I wrote vault.nvim plugin for myself for my obsidian notetaking strategy, as addition to obsidian.nvim plugin. A lot of stuff I've done for it based on your videos about neovim plugin development. Thank you!
I previously used Obsidian but then I switched to Anytype (free and open-source Notion alternative) and have been pretty satisfied with it 👍
I was on notion and these days i was doing exactly the same passages described on this video!
I wanted to use doom Emacs I don't know how to do that

I’ve been using Obsidian only with the built-in vim plugin but now I’m definitely going to try this out!

Excellent! I will check them out

That is no good. Probably be worth reaching out to the Obsidian Support to see if they can help ya. Is it a large data set?
I will watch this later, but really intrigued by the video.
What a coincidency, I'm moving from Notion to Obsidian this week.

Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Ah that's an unfortunate conflict. Could you map to Ctrl shift p?
Migrate from Obsidian to regular markdown next. Free sync across your devices with Syncthing too.
Haha who knows, I may just end up there eventually!
Would love to hear from you how you prefer taking notes, if you have a system you enjoy.
Thanks for the request! I'll put this on my list to make a video on.
syncthing also provides great backup functionality

You should be able to update your config with a couple options:
notes_subdir = "Zettlekasten",
note_id_func = function(title)
return title
end,
How to stop it from showing all images outside of notes, it was not a feature in notion and it pretty useless
Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Are you wanting to disable showing images inside notes?
Great! With proper terminal such as wezterm or kitty, neovim can preview and paste images. Looking forward you do a video on that!
what is the app you use to enable "CMD+Arrow Right" as app switching?
I think that's probably CMD + tab
Thanks for the great tutorial. I tried many time to export and import from Notion to Obsidian, but it failed in the process of importing.
Oh no! Does it just outright fail or give you an incomplete output?

@@ascourter Could be too big? I have as big as 2.5GB after exported from Notion.
@@CanDoSo_org Ah I gotcha. What are you going to try next?
a very useful video! thanks a lot! liked and subscribed
@@anotherwitcherfan thank you!!
Great video! helped me make the switch. one question... how do you use "jj" to escape insert mode in vim lol
Thanks! I am glad I was able to help you! Here's the line to add into your config:
vim.keymap.set("i", "jj", "", { desc = "Esc" })
does ur lazyloading works ? because u put the config ot after folder.
Good question. I think the lazy loading breaks when putting the config into after/plugin (www.reddit.com/r/neovim/s/iwic6GrjGb). Thanks for calling this out! I'll make another video on this gotcha after I reorganize my config.
yah, I think u re also calling the setup function twice, since u didnt mark the plugin's spec as config = false.
@@radvilardian740 yep I think you're correct
nice video, I am using obsidian too, but my gf works hehe.
@@radvilardian740 rub it in why don't ya! 🤣
thank you for sharing! I'll try this.

Exports from notion. Imports into obsidian. Doesn't show what imported files look like.
Important as files were exported as html
Did you run into an issue with your files?
I use google docs!
I’m such a lame o
The first step is admitting you have a problem 😂
@@ascourter I dunno man. ZERO CONFIG, and 0% need for UA-cam videos to help me….
@@cody_codes_youtube haha fair enough. Sounds like you should make a video on your Google Docs note taking system :D
