BlitzErich<p>Zunächst mein Setup. Ich nutze <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> auch für die Schule, daher mag manches anders aufgebaut sein, als es für euch so sinnvoll ist.</p><p>Hier die aktivierten Core-Plug-Ins, die ich brauche:<br>- Canvas<br>- Dateiexplorer<br>- Seitenvorschau<br>- Vorlagen</p><p>Die Community-Plug-Ins, die ich fürs <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pnpde</span></a> nutze:<br>- Advanced Tables<br>- Ink<br>- Minimal Theme Settings<br>- PDF Paste<br>In RPG Manager habe ich mich noch nicht eingearbeitet, daher keine Ahnung, wie das ist.</p>
BlitzErich<p>Nachdem ein paar Mal die Frage aufkam, wie ich <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Hexxen1733" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexxen1733</span></a> mit <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> vorbereite, will ich in aller Kürze mal mein Setup und mein Vorgehen darstellen. Das meiste ist sicher schon bekannt.<br>Bisher hatte ich es so gemacht, dass ich in eine Notiz alles kopiert habe und dann intern verlinkt habe. In der rechten Seitenleiste hatte ich dann die Gliederungsansicht offen, so dass ich "schnell" nach dem betreffenden Abschnitt suchen konnte. Das war Murks.<br>Daher musste ein neuer Ablauf her...<br><a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pnpde</span></a></p>

7ZZ7<p>I've been thinking about using <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> as an alternative to <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Notion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Notion</span></a>, so I finally got around to downloading it and imported my Notion pages. The import was really fast, that was nice, but it lost a whole load of formatting (sort of inevitable since they are different apps) and some information has disappeared, which is not so nice because it's kind of annoying to lose all that work. </p><p>At least that work isn't lost forever since it's still on my Notion account, but it means I'm not so sure Obsidian is going to be the useful alternative to Notion that I was hoping for (honestly I don't think anything is, which is also annoying because I don't like how Notion keeps pushing use of AI)</p>
Hugo<p>setting up a collaborative project (an)archive, for a transnational research project I'm involved in, and considering using <a href="https://assemblag.es/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> (maybe obsidian publish for hosting, though they are based in the US which is a bit of a pain).</p><p>anyone out there with experience doing something similar? any hints or tips?</p>
