| # 2022-12-03: An academic vault tour & weekly review templates | ||
| Media workflow diagrams, film project dashboards, daily journaling discussions, python libraries for batch-changing metadata, and more! | ||
|
|
||
| ## In The Community | ||
|
|
||
| * Here's a curated list of [360+ bookmarks related to Obsidian](https://pkm.social/@oldtowneast/109431696194437578) maintained by `@oldtowneast` and shared over at the new [pkm.social](https://pkm.social/) mastodon instance. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Obsidian Updates | ||
|
|
||
| It's been awhile since the last Obsidian update, and traditionally there are a bunch of people secretly worrying that this means the app is dead, no more updates are coming, the team has stopped production, etc. 😅 so I just wanted to put a little note here and remind everybody that before mobile and live preview went live, there was also a gap of a month or two between updates. | ||
|
|
||
| If you're curious what's being worked on, you can check out [the roadmap](https://trello.com/b/Psqfqp7I/obsidian-roadmap) – it looks like metadata improvements and a core canvas plugin are the next big things to expect. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Plugin News | ||
|
|
||
| ### New in Community Plugins | ||
|
|
||
| _These plugins went through code review and are now available in Obsidian's plugin list._ For the full list, check out the [plugin stats page](https://obsidian-plugin-stats.vercel.app/new). | ||
|
|
||
| * [Omnisearch](https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch) by `@scambier` uses a smart weighting algorithm to show more relevant results. | ||
| * [Rapid Notes](https://github.com/valteriomon/obsidian-rapid-notes) by `@valteriomon` lets users create and place notes quickly in specific folders based on predefined prefixes. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Pending (as of Friday morning) | ||
|
|
||
| _Note: Not all new plugins are available in the community list yet, as they need to go through code review first. You can manually install plugins that aren't in the community list yet by using the [Beta Reviewer's Auto-update Tool](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat). Note, though, that this is not as safe as waiting for them to go through code review._ | ||
|
|
||
| * [D2](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2-obsidian) by `@berniexie` adds functionality for a diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams. | ||
| * [Crumbs](https://github.com/tgrosinger/crumbs-obsidian) by `@tgrosinger` is a new alternative to [Breadcrumbs](https://github.com/SkepticMystic/breadcrumbs) that seems more focused on Dendron-style dot hierarchies. | ||
| * [Copy Note URL](https://github.com/juliuszfedyk/obsidian-copy-note-url-plugin) by `@juliuszfedyk` lets users copy a note's URL based on a predefined domain and file extension. | ||
| * [evergreen](https://github.com/zk4/obsidian-evergreen) by `@zk4` is similar to the "no dupe leaves" plugin in that it will automatically switch the focus to open notes instead of reopening them, but works with stacked tabs. | ||
| * [Chord Lyrics](https://github.com/nevernotmove/obsidian-chordlyrics) by `@nevernotmove` will display chord names over lyrics. Supports line wrapping, section headers and auto-detection. | ||
| * [Surfing](https://github.com/Quorafind/Obsidian-Surfing) by `@Quorafind` makes it easier to browse the web within Obsidian. | ||
| * [Text Dataset Aid Plugin](https://github.com/conneroisu/Text-Dataset-Aid-Plugin) by `@conneroisu` makes fine-tuning datasets for language models a lot easier, which allows for increased accuracy, better style, more control, increased flexibility, etc. in text prediction/generation. | ||
| * [Obsidian Stylist](https://github.com/ixth/obsidian-stylist) by `@ixth` makes it easier to add classes and styles on markdown blocks. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Updates | ||
|
|
||
| _If you want a comprehensive list of what plugins updated this week, check out this [plugin updates index](https://obsidian-plugin-stats.vercel.app/updates) by Ganessh Kumar._ | ||
|
|
||
| * [Tasks](https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/queries/explaining-queries/) can now explain what your queries are doing. | ||
| * [CardBoard](https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=card-board) now honors the RTL editor settings and got some tag-related improvements. | ||
| * [Commander](https://github.com/phibr0/obsidian-commander) has startup macros for running commands on startup, color-coding, and other bug fixes. | ||
| * [RPG Manager](https://github.com/carlonicora/obsidian-rpg-manager/releases/tag/3.4.0) v3.4 changed how elements are identified, allows Scenes / Acts / Sessions / Adventures to be reorganised by a simple drag-and-drop. It also saves all the relationships at the bottom of the note, which helps with the graph view. | ||
| * [Database Folder](https://github.com/RafaelGB/obsidian-db-folder/releases/tag/3.0.0) 3.0.0 got a design refresh, configurable shortcuts, improved display options, and mobile pagination. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Ancillary Code | ||
|
|
||
| * Here's how to use [callouts that render like infoboxes or capacities-like sidebars](https://gist.github.com/AnubisNekhet/33ceb77eb450d78b2833e77cdb8e3394). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guides | ||
|
|
||
| * Here's a new [beginner's guide to using Obsidian for role playing games](https://www.patreon.com/posts/75382566?pr=true). | ||
| * Here's a quick [tip for getting straight quotes when curly quotes are turned on](https://pkm.social/@ellane/109422797766690784) shared on the new pkm.social mastodon instance. | ||
| * Here's a [weekly review template](https://miscellaneplans.gumroad.com/l/plusminusnext) with useful icons, modelled on the [Plus Minus Next](https://nesslabs.com/plus-minus-next) method and set up for a complete year. It's very detailed and looks lovely. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Discussions | ||
|
|
||
| * Casual reminder that [you should be backing up your notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/z57zo1/if_my_computer_dies_are_all_the_obsidian_notes/). | ||
| * Reddit hosted a great discussion about different ways to [save quotes from books and organize them](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/z5u1hc/how_do_you_save_quotes_from_book_as_individual/). | ||
| * Many people find that [daily journaling is valuable](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/z6xsz9/is_a_daily_journal_in_obsidian_worth_it/). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Showcases | ||
|
|
||
| * Danny Hatcher hosted `@pseudometa` for [a vault showcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzJOJxDgQKc) on youtube, focused on the academic use-case and using recent files, dataview, breadcrumbs, and outline for navigation. | ||
| * Juanchi Parra had a great showcase of [the usefulness of the list view mode of the Full Calendar plugin](https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/744933215063638183/1047285011558170754) in Discord. | ||
| * `@Thomsen` in Discord also shared a really nice [film project dashboard](https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/805952223124520961/1047953933118734446). | ||
| * I also really enjoyed this example of using Dataview & Buttons to create [an index of scientists](https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/744933215063638183/1047387531639005244). | ||
| * Here's a nice diagram of [a media workflow](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/z7cm82/inspired_by_uleejee_heres_my_current_obsidian/) via `u/Abides1948` on Reddit. | ||
| * Here's an example of how to use [Excalidraw for character profiles](https://pkm.social/@nicole/109426212900974041). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Ancillary Tools | ||
|
|
||
| * [py-obsidianmd](https://github.com/selimrbd/py-obsidianmd) is a python library that enables you to batch change note metadata and move metadata between YAML and inline styles. There's a [video explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRPBAKiu37Y) along with [examples](https://selimrbd.github.io/py-obsidianmd/examples/). | ||
