One of my favorite use cases for Obsidian Bases is custom sidebar views. Here's one I made for "Related notes".
It finds notes that have overlapping links and tags with the active note. The notes are sorted by a count of overlaps.

The sample Obsidian plugin template now has an AGENTS.md file.
Hopefully this means coding tools better follow Obsidian guidelines, and create plugins that can more quickly pass review.

My top ten tips for Obsidian Bases
![1. You can drag views in the View menu to reorder them. The first one is the default view.
2. Right-click the View button to skip the view picker and edit the current view.
3. Bases can be embedded as .base files or as code blocks (like Dataview). Both use the same syntax.
4. Use [[BaseName.base#ViewName]] to embed a specific view.
5. Views have layout options. For tables you can set row height. For cards you can set card size and cover image.
6. The Results count is clickable and lets you limit results and export to CSV/clipboard.
7. With the Properties menu open, you can navigate to a property in the list using arrow keys, and hold Opt key (Alt on Windows) to move the property up or down the list.
8. Double-click a column divider to reset the column width.
9. You can place base files in sidebars to create custom views, like a recent files view, or attachments view.
10. When embedded in a note, this.file refers to the current note. In a sidebar, this.file refers to the active note.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4pklmqyj4mew3wftz7edg4fy/bafkreigpqrfem2co5n4owukyocyw5rlommgkqfpsvodge5hskh4cg5mkuq@jpeg)
