Obsidian is the free and flexible app for your private thoughts.

Is there a @venice-ai plugin on Obsidian? I've seen other AI plugins but I'm unsure of their privacy policies

I have Venice AI Pro subscription and it would be great to plug this in to my Obsidian notes instead of moving back and forth between apps
trying to use ChatGPT in Obsidian via "smart connections" plugin so i can provide a better context for my prompts. does anyone have a Obsidian+AI workflow that really works?
Wen Canvas on Publish? There was a feature request raised 2.5 years ago and I'd love to know if it's on the roadmap at all, before investing any meaningful time building canvases. I'd rather not use third-party tools like Sharecanvas.io. Hopefully @kepano can weigh in 💕
Obsidian 1.8.10 is now available to all for desktop and mobile!

- Fixed issues with numbered lists getting numbered incorrectly, e.g. when list items have leading spaces, or appear inside neighboring block quotes.
- Android: You can now store vaults inside the app private storage which does not require "All files" permission.
- Android: Physical keyboards and voice-to-text inputs no longer lose focus.
- Android: Fixed bug where obsidian:// URIs would not fire their action if the app was previously closed.
- Mobile navigation bar shows up immediately when keyboard is retracting, instead of waiting for it to finish.

My latest video ✨ How to build an intuition filter with Feynman’s Favourite Problem Framework 🤔

This is a practical overview of how to build the notes in Obsidian & use NotebookLM to research & mind map your favourite topics 📚

I'd love to open several workspaces in several active windows while maintaining a flexible workspace/window for incoming/random notes. Am I missing how to do this? Ideally, reopening Obsidian (after reboot) would restore the last active workspaces/windows.

Cool trick for UUID v4 auto-generation for new notes via template, using the Templater plugin. Just include this in the frontmatter of the template note, and whenever you create a new note with it, it will automatically generate a UUID v4

---
uuid: <%*
function generateUUID() {
let dt = new Date().getTime();
let uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
let r = (dt + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
dt = Math.floor(dt / 16);
return (c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8)).toString(16);
});
return uuid;
}
tR += generateUUID();
%>

the `smart connections` obsidian plugin is surprising useful. local RAG on your own vault is awesome

I've been using Obsidian for a couple years, but mostly as a secondary note keeping tool.

But a couple things just clicked in my head and I'm now working it into my system as one of my primary tools. More thoughts soon.
is there an efficient and safe way to bulk change tags for notes in my vault? like if i wanted to change a specific tag from #personal to #admin (for example) what's the best way to do it 👀
if you're wondering why this or that feature hasn't been added to Obsidian, remember we only have three full-time developers (and not trying to grow the team)
/Obsidian
currently Obsidian for Android requires full file access permissions because it's necessary for certain third-party sync tools and interoperability — but some users prefer narrower permissions

in an upcoming version we're adding this option, do the tradeoffs make sense here?

i just searched and found it! and what amazing luck! they included a link to the obsidian plugin in the youtube description 😂

plugin → https://github.com/glowingjade/obsidian-smart-composer
what's your favorite obsidian plugin?

haven't gone down that rabbithole and i'm sure i'm missing some great AI tools to add to my vault

(bonus points if you can find me a "cursor composer" style plugin)
I wondering if there is an integration when I bookmark something in Farcaster, it would create a note in my Obsidian vault. I have a “quick capture” folder where stuff goes when I share via iOS, so something similar to that.
For /obsidian users looking to introduce AI in a free & local way, I made a tutorial evaluating the various plugins and how to get started with smart connections ✨

I hope it helps, the semantic searching is 🤯

Put together another plugin that isn't listed yet, but is available on github

It uses OpenAI or Claude (take your pick, byok) to generate tags. Your existing tags will be factored in, contributing to a knowledge base over time.

Can be run on current file, current folder, etc. Command prompt and ribbon for easy access.

I would signup for sync yearly and get the catalyst license if I could pay with crypto

/obsidian is so close, it has "credits" you can buy but only with a credit card

As an /obsidian beginner I didn't know there was a channel.
And I wasn't aware @kepano the Obsidian CEO is here on Farcaster.

Thank you universe

Obsidian is such a cool software to organize your writings and ideas.

I am in love with the Second Brain concept. Files becoming constellations fit perfectly with the sci-fi universe I develop.

Have you tried it ? What are your tips and favorite extensions ?
Good stuff for LLM users

If you're an /obsidian user, today is your day!

Just published a new blog post tutorial on how you can host your Obsidian vault on IPFS through Orbiter! Personally love this one since the file over app philosophy is so in tune with our principles of building on the open web. Check it out!

Where are your private thoughts?

Here are mine. Imagine being able to integrate this cognition with a private LLM.

I am actively seeking for ideas.

I'm a top 1% commenter in the obsidian subreddit, I had no idea!

I have really enjoyed learning a ton from people in this subreddit. Honestly, would love to get more conversations going on warpcast. I think we can do it 👀

If you're an obsidian user I'm curious: why do you use obsidian and what do you use it for?

I'm looking for a Obsidian template, I've got one that works, but I'd love to explore other options. Anyone have a favorite template to share or recommend?

Updated my Anki facts and started writing down notes of books I’ve read in my Obsidian. I am starting to life live to the fullest

Also I feel like I’m using obsidian like a noob. I just put hashtags on the top, and tag related pages if I remember they exist
Is there some AI which will make the connections that I forgot exist, or remind me of the tags I previously used and should include again?

New video ✨ how to migrate OR backup notes to Obsidian 📝

I initially didn’t migrate my notion notes to obsidian… expecting them to be there when I needed them… and they were, but they were on their way to being automatically deleted 😦 I lost several notebooks in OneNote due to a cloud sync error...

Just to be safe, I decided to migrate all of my other notes into obsidian to create a markdown backup. I hope this video helps inspire you to do the same, while showing you some tips on how to optimize for different note taking system migrations ✨

Ok, I finally caved and downloaded Obsidian and used it to write my last Orbiter blog post. It’s really freaking good. I held out so long because people over complicated their descriptions of what it is and what it does.

Looking for an Obsidian plugin that integrates with the ChatGPT desktop app. Something like an MCP server (used w/ Claude Desktop), but unsure how to make it work. Anyone seen a solution for this?
After making many videos on Obsidian & how my personal knowledge management system operates, I made a video that goes into why I actually switched to Obsidian in the first place:

This is a great video for anyone looking to learn more about the value of Obsidian and, in particular, why it future-proofs your notes, especially related to AI 👀

If you use Obsidian and are looking for something that explains to other people why you find it so helpful, this might be helpful for outlining the benefits to others ✨
