I'm blogger, focused on tech topics like computers, software, and usability. It covers workflow efficiency, automation, scripting, Obsidian and practical solutions for Apple (macOS, iOS/iPadOS), Linux, and sometimes Windows users.
Neues Kapitel vom obsidianguide.de ist fertig: In meinem neuen Kapitel zu täglichen Notizen zeige ich, wie Calendar, Datavie und Templater zusammenarbeiten — inkl. Einbindung eines kleinen Web‑Services und einem kleinen Automatisierungs‑Skript.

BarCuts picks up changes to your Shortcuts workflows and new ones as you go along, you don't have to restart it.

There might be bugs – it's a beta. It's under active development; I started working on it only 12 days ago, and I'm very happy with the current state.

I'd love for you to test it! 🤙🏼

🎵 Did you know ‘Für_Elise.md’ and ‘Für_Elise.md’ might not be the same file name? 🤔
When working with filenames, Unicode normalization (NFC vs. NFD) can lead to unexpected behavior across systems.
