#obsidian

Obsidian’s~={yellow} graph view=~ is really cool, especially when you have accumulated thousands of interconnected notes. For a moment, you go from being an archivist to become an ={blue}astronomer exploring the galaxy= you have created, with its centers of gravity around which stars are orbiting, each with planets, moons, and asteroids.

Inline properties

The Dataview plugin recently gave support for inline yaml fields in the content of a note. One can type key:: value in the body (not the frontmatter), and dataview recognises it as if it were key: value in the yaml.

Meta data

Key value pairs in text key :: value Key value pairs in YAML --- key:value ---

Dataview

Code to create a table with the 30 most recently created files, sorted by creation timestamp

TABLE file.ctime
SORT file.ctime DESC
LIMIT 5

Dataview returns results as

  • TABLE (Field)
  • LIST (Field)
  • TASK
  • CALENDER

Source FROM specifies folder, hashtag WHERE clause

  • Equals WHERE Project = "Project X"
  • Contains WHERE Contains(Summary, "Alice")
Foldersync

It works just like a charm. As well as supporting a whole bunch of services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and all that crap, it also supports FTP, SFTP, SMB, S3 and WebDAV! You can choose whether synchronisation is in one direction, the other, or bidirectional, configure scheduling, options, filters and even webhooks! There’s nothing missing. Here are a few screenshots to illustrate:
