Tana?
1/10/2023
Encountering Tana is a bit like "well, here's a piece of paper -- now what?"
I've watched a few videos, and most of them are evangelistic, which doesn't help. This particular video, however, is cal...
Tana?

Be sure to browse the Tana Slack channels
https://app.slack.com/client/T02E0729D6U/C048S52GH1Q
And add the "Tana Pattern Library" to your sidebar in Tana for some useful field and supertag patterns...
Obsidian Sync
1/7/2023
As mentioned above, all files are local and not locked into a database. Always.
Core Obsidian is free for non-commercial use. Obsidian Sync is an add-on with an annual fee. Not cheap, by the way. ...
Tana?
1/7/2023
I've had access to Tana since a few weeks after I posted the question at the head of this thread. I operate it almost every day for a hour or so -- I hesitate to say I "use" it, because I'm not sure...
Capacities Get Mac app
1/5/2023
I don't see much of Tana in Capacities, other than in some portions of the workspace Capacities mimics Tana. Not that mimicking Tana's look and feel is a good thing, since Tana is so minimalist . ...
Amen. I'm doing a lot of experimenting with Tana, since right now in the early access phase it is free. I don't know if I would pay for it. It is fascinating, though it is more on the quantum-com...
I've been using Tana for about a month. In it's current configuration, it is not a place to store files. Tana is a graph database, a blank slate where the user can define simple or endlessly compl...
Obsidian also published the file format for .canvas files -- which contain the JSON data that the Canvas plugin uses to build the Canvas view. This will be of no interest to 99% of users, but it mig...
Ghostreader in Readwise Reader
12/18/2022
I agree. Reader is very feature reach and very useful, and apparently there is more to come. They recently added a feature to capture and annotate excerpts of the transcripts of YouTube videos stor...
Also, see a related post on r/ObsidianMD

The $25 is a contribution toward development, but is not required. All the contribution gets you is early access -- usually a few weeks before updates are released to everyone.

I wouldn't call Obsidian a "companion" to Dynalist, though it true that Shida and Erica built both. (Obsidian has lately taken on more devs to that team.)
Anyway, I suspect what happens here is tha...

Reminds me a bit of Agenda.
Obsidian Canvas supports as many canvases as you wish.

Nice. Tempting to subscribe to get this feature now.

Discourse map!
11/17/2022
Very interesting - can you provide a link where the developers discuss this? Is this your understanding of the "Canvas plugin" that the Obsidian developers mention on their roadmap?

Ghostreader in Readwise Reader
11/12/2022
I've been using Readwise's Reader app for a few months, and find it far more than a "read later" app, with an increasing number of very useful features. (Not to mention that highlights and notes cap...
Robot writing apps
11/11/2022
We have AI-generated deep fake images and video, AI-generated writing, etc. Of course, we also have the problem of perception and reality that has been a core philosophical problem in many cultures ...
Obsidian 1.0
11/11/2022
There is a popular plugin, "Hover Editor", that turns the embedded text preview into an editor pane so that the transcluded text can be edited in the current view.

Tana?
10/8/2022
Anyone using Tana
https://tana.inc
Looks like outliner + todo + graph + dark mode
Not sure what's new
There's also a similar Obsidian plugin built on Open AI
https://github.com/nhaouari/obsidian-textgenerator-plugin
I don't see the point of writing if a bot does it for you. Sort of like having a b...
Broader musings
7/25/2022
I don't think there is a way to replace in-person in-office interaction with co-workers and customers, in a WFH situation. I don't think it's hyperbole, but looking back over my career as I changed ...

7/11/2022
CRIMP usually is an acronym (thanks to Steve Z) for "compulsive-reactive information management purchasing"
but surely could also be "compulsive-reactive injudicious machine purchasing"
Agenda

So timely. My premium license just expired and the app wanted $34.99 or whatever. Then I saw your posting, and got the $9.99 deal installed. Thank you !

Vitamin R for getting things done.
6/22/2022
I used Vitamin R for a while, then again, later, from time to time. It's interesting, but seemed to require a lot of care and feeding. I found that I was fiddling with the software, and using it as...
