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.

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

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 !

Apple Notes' quick note feature might tick most boxes

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...
I've tried out Muse, Defter, and others -– and still prefer ZoomNotes. Not the most intuitive design and interface, but the developer is constantly adding new and useful features.

Curio and Devonthink

George posted a video presenting a simple use case for the "file-back text figure" feature he added to Curio 22:

OPML interop
5/24/2022
From long experience, and hours of grumbling frustration, trust but verify is the key with importing OPML produced from another app. The data transfer does not always work with 100% reliability due ...
