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 ...
CRIMPing for hardware...
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
a) note menu item: slides in from the corner you define in Mission Control; default lower right
b) transparent storage: not transparent; but expo...
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.

I love my reMarkable 2 -– somewhat like I love a finely crafted pot. The pot is beautiful to look at and touch, not for cooking. The reMarkable 2 is beautiful to look at and touch. Rarely ...
Curio and Devonthink
6/8/2022
George posted a video presenting a simple use case for the "file-back text figure" feature he added to Curio 22:

This is a tremendous innovation -– a graphical "wh...
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 ...
Musings on tools for thought
5/11/2022
It's likely that more of what we consider the modern world came about because of people simply sitting with a piece of paper and a pencil and thinking.
Would Einstein have been better off using Muse ...
An additional new feature in Curio 22 (still in beta) is "file-backed text figures". Unfortunately a clunky name for the feature, but what Curio is doing here is displaying the contents of a file as...
People- vs. Project-Centric Email Workflow
11/30/2021
@Ken, when you meet with staff, keep in mind it is not a technical gap in the software your agency bought, it is about altering business rules and roles and perhaps asking administrators and managers ...
People- vs. Project-Centric Email Workflow
11/30/2021
@Ken, I have worked at implementing very large M365 (nee O365) installations in government -- I assume that is what your agency is running on. The short story is that the underlying infrastructure to...
Black Friday deals

Just to mention -- iThoughtsX on macOS, in conjunction with the Marked 2 utilty from Brett Terpstra, can do a very similar thing to Writemapper. Compose in iThoughtsX while Marked 2 watches the file...
Browser-only outliner / note-taker
10/10/2021
I would also recommend Dynalist -- as Steve Zeoli did. I have used Dynalist in a browser on Windows machines provided to me by clients, with no issues.
BUT -- big but -- make sure you understand th...
Readwise Reader app
9/20/2021
I recently subscribed to Readwise, and I am also looking forward to Readwise Reader. The Readwise team is very open to customer opinion suggestions. A great service. Now that they have an "offi...
When the annual subscription renewal cycled around recently I decided to continue my Premium subscription to Evernote. Partly because I've invested it with so much content over the past ten years or ...
Logseq + Obsidian
6/12/2021
Obsidian has had "WYSIWYG editor (like Typora)" on its roadmap as a "short-term" focus for a while. I think Erica and Shida have been busy trying to get the mobile app finalized first.

Roam v. Obsidian
5/23/2021
I did the test period with Roam, but didn't sign up because of the cloud storage, and the help documentation was a mess. I figured if they cannot document their program for people considering a purc...

When I saw the colors I realized how grey Apple had become. Thank you Jony Greystoke.
In the two days since the iMac colors hit the market, I've received two ads in email from Apple, touting colorfu...
Obsidian mobile app in alpha testing

Obsidian's mobile app for iOS / iPadOS and Android is in alpha testing with a limited user group, with the expectation that broader beta testing will come soon.
It is already a very useful and fully-...
Dynalist enters the "hobby work" phase
2/26/2021
Interesting post from Erica Xu, who with her husband created Dynalist and now Obsidian. Nothing surprising about this -- Obsidian is clearly far more successful -- from a user-base perspective -- th...
