I work on lots of scattered projects and have used @obsidian.md for all my thinking and notes for years now.

I just stumbled across smartconnections.app and *wow*. It's a local transformer model which finds connections with old notes and ideas as you type. Incredibly valuable for me at the moment.

ah sweet! i’m so glad someone has found something useful in the colophon! that’s what they’re all about ☺️

smart connections is great, it makes links to things i forgot i read, but that immediately brings back a memory of a thought as soon as i see the connection.

I was trying to explain @obsidian.md to my musician friend. He uses Google Docs.

To demonstrate, we exported a document in both markdown and Microsoft word formats.

Then we opened both in notepad, markdown first. "See, you can still read it."

Then the word file, he goes "hieroglyphics?!?"

Obsidian Bases is great, but it doesn't replace Dataview's advanced features.

Hopefully we'll see list/task level queries in Bases in the future 🌴

Instead of a giant mono-repo for my Obsidian.md vault, important notes/sections live in a Git repo where they belong contextually. I use a plugin to keep them synced.

Git stays fast & history stays contextual 🌴
