With this update you should see a 50% to 95% reduction in the load time for Obsidian on mobile. My personal vault is about 14k notes and loads in less than a second π₯°
(and the new Sync History view is incredibly useful if you share a vault with friends or coworkers)

Obsidian 1.7 is now available for desktop and mobile!
This update makes Obsidian much faster to load, and reduces memory usage. You should see significant performance improvements across all platforms.
The new Sync History view shows a list of edits across the vault, useful when collaborating on a shared vault. Activate it using the "Sync: Show Sync history" command.
Plus, you can now click inside a page preview to edit it without opening the note.

Most people would be better off with a simple static site than Wordpress.
Static sites are faster, cheaper, and easier to edit. And because you own your content in plain text you can more easily switch site generator or host. You're can't be held hostage.

Another huge improvement to performance. You should see roughly 50% to 95% reduction in startup time when switching from Obsidian 1.6 to 1.7

- prepend and append will attempt to merge properties
- new daily URI action to open or create your daily note

an idea I've been playing with for the /obsidian clipper β interpret the page in natural language and turn the results into structured data
you can now set your iCloud files to "Keep Downloaded" which significantly reduces startup time for Obsidian

2. how is interoperability of Markdown files useful to you?

On September 9th, Notion will delete the data of all Russian users due to new U.S. sanctions.
This is why "file over app" is essential β you should not be subject to the whims of platforms and governments. Be sovereign of your own data.

PSA for Obsidian plugin devs: remember to minify your plugin! This can reduce the load time of your plugin by 50-90%.
Make sure your build script for main.js includes minification. Your users will thank you.

Obsidian 1.7.1 (early access) is now available to Catalyst members for desktop and mobile.
Startup time is significantly faster on mobile. For vaults with 10,000+ notes you can expect to see at least 50% reduction in load time.
Editable page previews and footnotes are also improving quickly. Page previews stay open even if the window loses focus or the command palette appears. Pressing "Esc" instantly closes the page preview while editing.
+ many more small fixes and improvements!

there is a massive amount of unexplored space for tools that interoperate with .md and .canvas files you create in Obsidian
we added the "tools" category to Gems of the Year last year (Quartz by Jacky Zhao won), I hope to see more entries in this category for 2024
