You can create custom schemas for certain tags,
Set up different kinds of properties like selects or dates,
And easily edit note metadata anywhere like at links or tables with a UI.
Taken inspiration from: forum.obsidian...!

Thanks so much for this great video. It’s very good at highlighting the plugin’s capabilities. Much better than what I can do in the demo videos 👍🏻. It’s very cool to see the plugin in action in other workflows than mine.

Happy to share your work :) Thank you so much for the amazing plugin :) Functionality wise the plugin is already really useful, but once the UI gets polished a bit then i feel like its going to be up there with dataview and templater ✨ The fact that u pushed so many features in only a few days is 🤯

Jeez... You gave me opportunity to edit fields in dataview table. I didn't get to watch other videos of yours yet. But this one by itself deserves a "join channel". Tks also for the calm cadence you use on your explanations. Obsidian-content creators often don't realize it's hard sometimes for the viewers to grasp the content for it being rather code-oriented at times. But you nailed it.

Aww, you're too kind :,) Happy you enjoy my form of presentation hehe, this video was also aimed for beginners who were probably previously interested in Tana so I'm glad my efforts to make it beginner-friendly were effective! Even I took a while to learn dataviewjs so for someone non-technical to learn it would be tough xd

Hey! Just came across the plugin "Influx" and I'm amazed by it and would love to know what you think of it!! It basically builds a new backlink-View where you can view block mentions much better. Kinda represents the setup of Logseq (and Roam). It's definitely not perfect (yet) but I feel like a combination with other linking methods could be gamechanging

Great content and extremely well explained, congrats!! This plugin seems to be the key to build a note base task management system in obsidian. I guess you could use each note as a task with some dataview fileds to define projects, due dates and everything and modify it from the dataview query

@voldefox Жыл бұрын

the problem with using a plugin to replicate a core feature of another app is that you become dependent on the developer of that plugin. What if the developer one day abandons the project and a future Obsidian release break the plugin? All this code left by the plugin will become useless. It's already happened with several plugins. :(

@itsjohnmavrick Жыл бұрын

that is a drawback of community driven development, but I think it's okay if theres some way to maintain version control for obsidian versions. its possible that someone else can pick up the project too :p

for your areas: are you using the supercharged link plugin or are you putting the emoji in the name of the note? Also, what is the lookup query for your area notes? looks really useful!

Emoji name is in the note so I can better differentiate in quick switcher (I also didn't really try the plugin much before hand) Put this in the fileClass note: Area:: {"type":"File","options":{"dvQueryString":"dv.pages(\"#area\")"}} The query itself is just dv.pages("#area") Hope this helps!

I managed to add fields to a supetag, but after that, your tutorial does not seem to work. I just can't insert the tags in the note, the button you click on does not show up. When i right click and say "Add fileClass to XYZ" the following menue just says that it could find nothing. So i don't know what to do.

Hi Danny! Really cool to see you here :o I haven't actually gained access to tana so i just based the video off the base features i saw in other videos, just easy inheritance of fields and a ui to edit them, along with sort+filter support and supertag extensions. If you share other things what may be missing i can also take a look :) the dev has also been super speedy in his releases to imitate supertags so I'm looking forward to see how polished the plugin can be :S

To elaborate, I’ve been spending the weekend watching obsidian tutorials, and it seems like for many of the features to be used in any elegant or useful fashion, you practically have to develop your own app, or hodgepodge a collection of third party plugins and bend them to you will (and sometimes hope that it will work…). Is this really worth it?
