    I'm still not sold on Obsidian - I use Google Sites as a digital binder. But the idea of a dataview database sounds awesome so maybe I'll go that way. I just want to tell you that your existence in this space made me smile. I'm a 50-year old Black lady and seeing nerd girls representing is inspirational for the youth, and just awesome for the rest of us.

    This was so me! The first several times I tried using Obsidian I was like "HELLS NO." The app just looked so...bad. But I kept watching CZcams videos and playing around with the app and eventually the power of it just clicked and now I'm hooked and 100% use Obsidian. For me, it was taking the time to learn how to use the app because it's just so different from other note-taking apps. I've really loved how Obsidian has forced me to learn about things like CSS and YAML and other technical programming stuff that I would never have learned about otherwise.

      I agree!! Funny that you mention migrating from Roam. My video on Wednesday is about switching. What a coincidence! I also resisted switching for a long time.

      Hi! Hang in there. You don't have to install all these plugins - that would be very daunting. It's totally OK not to use any plugins as well. I think Obsidian is still awesome. Welcome to the Obsidian community, and I hope you find it as useful as I have!

    Another option for synchronizing is "Self-hosted LiveSync". You do need some knowledge to set it up and it's historically been a little unstable. Haven't had issues with any of the recent versions though (last few months).

      Hey! I know this is a late reply, but I still wanted to comment because I've never used Syncthing but would like to explore it. Have you had any issues with using Syncthing to view your notes within the Obsidian app on different devices, or do you just use it to sync/backup your vault?

    Amazing video! I quit some equivalent solutions for lack of e2e security. But Obsidian can look austere at first. Adding plugins is vital and your listing answers all my queries. Much thx! (and sorry for my bad written english; i'm french)

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks! Obsidian is a great alternative if you are concerned about security. It can run on a computer you never connet to the internet, even. Plugins definitely decrease security, but improve functionality, IMO.

    I don’t like Obsidian for beginner’s curve reasons. But it seems really good for note taking. I’ve started using it. I love that I can organise recipes there. I also organise my research on philosophy and comparative religion.
    I was originally making excel spreadsheets for book lists and temples, as well as Microsoft Word for chapter summaries. But I want to transition to moving everything as much as possible to Obsidian, because the linking of ideas. Also, having multiple windows open for notes is so good.

    • @outoftheforest7652
      @outoftheforest7652 Před rokem

      Its funny you said that because I was researching about how to take better notes. I have ADHD and I really struggle with understanding other apps like ONE NOTE or any of the Microsoft systems.. they suck.. but once I heard about OBSIDIAN? I found a good you tube video that easily helped me to understand it and it IS actually easy to jump into. You can get in over your head fast and my head hurt seeing all these users using really hard core scripting language and other stuff I was WOAH no way..but i think it is easy and fun to start using. The fact that you can just so easily mark up things fast and simply instead of having to hunt for things or functionality. UGH. You don't have to do that really to start with Obsidian> I guess it is how different our brains work

      Beginner's curve?
      I may be a weird person, but i never encountered that in obsidian, or to me it was almost non-existent
      it took me a few moments or minutes, but after that, i was already trying to create complex "wind-rose" diagrams in my notes , just for the fun of it
      (or maybe it was because i worked with vscode and cherrydb before that)

    Wonderful series of videos, Nicole. Thank you very much. Can you suggest any plug-in for the following capabilities: i) generate mind-map out of text as a graphic and allows me to go back and forth between the graphic and the ordered text; ii) automatically generate a mind-map (in addition to the graph) among related notes; iii) handle hand written notes as some of us very often scribble on our laptop screens using a stylus. We need to capture these and ideally also convert the written words into text; iv) ability to create and interlink IT diagrams according to the C4 architecture model and also ER diagrams. Ideally generate ER diagrams straight out of a SQL database and able to convert changes into SQL commands back into the database to alter the table designs

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi! Thanks for reaching out! Glad you enjoyed this video. As for you plugin questions:
      i and ii: The Mind Map plugin is what you want for sure.
      iii and iv: Excalidraw is your best bet, though it won't interface with a SQL database. You'll have to manually create what you want it to show.
      Good luck!
