If I type a new word, it'll keep defaulting and autocorrecting to whatever it thinks I'm trying to type. I'm at my wit's end.

Hello there.

I love playing yu-gi-oh master duel on my phone and laptop but master duel limits your decks to 40 decks in the playing. You can your decks form master duel to neuron. I have so many decks in neuron that are not complete so i though if i could make a way to keep track of the cards i need. This is what i made. It uses ygoprodeck website to show the cards to the users. There is a template that must be used. I am still my some changes to it.

I recently started using Obsidian and found this in the documentation of the ITS theme. However, I'm using Cupertino (largely because ITS isn't very visually appealing to me), so making text adjacent to an aligned image isn't a native feature in this theme. Are there any plugins or CSS snippets that enable this feature?

As the title suggest, I’m looking for an efficient way to drag and drop images (screenshots of lecture slides mainly) to put next to my notes. My use case is predominately for med school, and I would love to have the relevant images (eg anatomical structures) be on the right side of the text, rather than below the note.

Is this achievable without having to manually type out a callout, say for eg. MCC snippet?

Thank you!

For the last year or so i have taken detailed notes of all of the work/research i have done. I am on a fixed contract and leave in august to finish my studies.

I am wondering is there a way for someone to easily navigate my vault and render images etc without having to install obsidian? I already setup my vault with folders as well as links and tags for this purpose, but haven't found a solution to get the vault to work with images inside a standard markdown reader (i have tried with vscode in this case, as everyone at my work will have it)

All tips and advice would be greatly apricated!

Many thanks :)

My vault started as a simple dump of notes and now it's somewhere around 800 files and I genuinely have no idea where anything lives anymore. The graph looks cool but it's not actually helping me find things faster.

I've gone back and forth between folders and tags and at some point I mixed both and now it's just chaos. Some notes have deep folder paths, some are floating in root, some have tags that I stopped using a year ago and never cleaned up.

Curious what people who've had vaults for 3 or 4 years actually landed on. Did you do a big reorganization at some point or just let it evolve and accept the messiness? I've seen posts here where people share graphs after years of use and they look incredibly organized, so either those people have serious discipline or there's a system I'm missing.

The MOC approach seems like the thing everyone eventually gravitates toward but every time I try to set one up it feels like I'm creating more overhead than it solves. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

What actually clicked for you after the vault got big enough to feel unmanageable?

TL;DR

Capsidian now supporting take multiple images and import to your vault, linked to your files at once

It's been a while since my last update about this small tool. I've been layoff and unemployed for nearly 4 months now. It's have been a hard time for me. the new AI era affected me as an Mobile Developer

So sorry that I don't have much energy to keep this tool update new features for those time, although I have a big bucket backlog for it. It just feeling depressed all the time.

Now I feel like I have something to work for while waiting for new opportunity. I don't know who's out there still using this tool, but if you need a small tool for your Obsidian Vault on Android, which can help you capture you thought quickly, take a quick look at Capsidian. Thank you all.

I have a question regarding Obsidian folder tree behaviour. I noticed this mainly in the Android app - not sure if it also applies to desktop: I recently restructured my vault and the majority of notes are now placed in one folder. I mainly use Omnisearch to find notes. However when I open a note and then switch back to the menu/folder tree, it expands the tree (the folder). As I have a couple of thousand notes it means endless scrolling - just to close it. Can I configure obsidian so it does not expand the folder tree once I open a note? Thanks in advance for your help!

After giving Day One’s Gold Tier an honest chance for about three months, I’m returning with my journal to Obsidian. While the annual subscription is fine overall, there are several major issues that make Day One unusable for me compared to Obsidian.

Here is why I’m switching back:

1. Halfway AI Implementation in Day One. I find the presence of AI in a journal absolutely essential (though it must remain purely optional, as it is in Day One). However, the current implementation in Day One is totally absurd. The 🤖 is sandboxed; it can’t see regular timeline entries. This is an insurmountable obstacle for me because I need "play-by-play interaction" from morning to evening. If you’re going to implement AI, please make the robot fully available so we can interact with it/him/her directly within regular timeline entries.
2. Atrocious Block Editor. The block editor in Day One is extremely buggy and constantly freezes (or at the very least annoyingly wobbles) across the Windows app, the web app, Android, and iOS. We already know from WordPress how atrocious the Gutenberg block editor is; using this version is outright torture. It’s incredibly frustrating compared to the absolutely smooth, lightning-fast, and equally (or more!) capable pure Markdown editor in Obsidian. I know Automattic now owns Day One and will likely insist on using this block editor, but to me, it’s a serious design mistake.
3. Terrible Feature Parity. In Obsidian, you get every single feature on all platforms where applicable. If a feature makes sense on mobile, it’s there on both platforms. In Day One, you get certain buttons on iOS, different buttons on Android, and still other buttons on Windows and the web. The iOS version of Day One is clearly the most advanced, while all other platforms lag behind. This inconsistency is deeply annoying.
4. Difficult Export Options. There’s no easy, user-friendly way to export your entries from Day One. The only option to get a user-friendly Markdown export is on iOS (and presumably macOS), but the Android Markdown export is buggy and provides fewer options. From Android, Windows, and the web, you’re typically stuck with nothing but the technical JSON export, which isn’t user-friendly at all.

I’ve now purchased the $140 annual subscription for Obsidian Copilot, the finest AI integration plugin in Obsidian. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with Microsoft, so it’s great.

You can integrate any AI model using the Obsidian Copilot plugin, including completely free local LLMs if you can install them on your machine, but also using the standard API tokens route. There's also the middle ground between the two: that $140/year subscription I've just purchased, which provides you with a robot derived from Google's Gemini Flash 2.5. That's not a great model by any means, but it's comparable in performance to the ChatGPT model (4o-mini, 4.1 and other older models) that Day One has now integrated. Crucially, though, in Obsidian, thanks to its 100% transparency, you can tweak that internal robot's performance to your liking using any number of custom prompts. This is plain impossible in closed software like Day One.

While Obsidian Copilot can be used fully for free, I chose that subscription so that I can use a faster and slightly more advanced online robot. (Yeah, if I were paranoid, I could use my local robots, and then my journal would remain 100% private and would even work fully offline, despite AI integration.)

But because I also use Obsidian Sync, my journal automatically syncs across all platforms. I can talk to my journal assistant on every tablet, mobile phone, and Windows computer. It works flawlessly and 100% transparently. The Markdown files are just wonderful.

The finest feature of Obsidian Copilot is that when you talk to the 🤖 in your journal, a Markdown backup of that dialogue gets automatically created in the background. Whenever you say something or the 🤖 replies, that most recent response is automatically appended to that Markdown backup file and synced across all your devices, even during an ongoing conversation. It’s truly a live dialogue that helps you maintain your journal.

I’m really disappointed that Day One chose not to offer this kind of live dialogue, restricting it instead to that isolated sandbox of Daily Chat. That’s simply not enough.

The original font of Cyrillic letters are hard to read so I wanna change it.

I tried several css snippets using ai but none worked. Help needed!

Edit: Solved. Turned out to be a problem of my linux

I am using Vim for Obsidian. And I have a plugin where if I hit '/' in LaTeX, it will do a quick fraction on it. However, this only works when I'm in insert mode. For quickness, I can select everything I want from vFI, but I have no way of activating that if I'm not in insert mode. Is this problem unsolvable? Do I just have to delete and type out '\frac{p}{...' manually

hello guys! I'm new to obsidian and i've recently started using PDF++ as a plugin. It works fine but I just have one problem.

How do you remove the highlighted portion on the right side and make it like the one that is above it. I just want the formats of my notes to be the same. Thanks in advance.

I am running Obsidian on iPhone 13. The startup on app launch has been really slow. So much so that when I want to capture some thought and open the app the delay is large and it makes the friction to writing high.

I removed all the community plugins hoping it will help but still not much. It takes 5 seconds to load vault which is weird. I am running with local iOS file system and not iCloud backup.
I use syncthing to sync that local directory but that happens outside of obsidian.

Anyone knows how to debug and fix this?

Can I somehow disable markdown preview with symbols around my text in the Editor? It’s quite annoying to edit as they always pop up and shift the text.

ex. how it behaves now:
**__Nevertheless, it was quite obvious__**

Just started my Obsidian vault couple of days ago and finished setting up my dashboard. What do you guys think?

I’ve been working in IT/System Administration for the last decade so... I've accumulated a LOT of notes. I've always kept a private repo in GitHub over the years so I can just store generic information to help me with things I've worked on. A buddy of mine recommended Obsidian and I fell in love so... I starting working on this project because I like writing notes in Obsidian, but wanted a cleaner way to browse everything more like a proper IT knowledge base.

My vault stays exactly where it is and remains the source of truth. The site gives me the same folder structure, along with search, favorites, tags, backlinks, graphs, revision history, and a full Markdown editor. It runs locally in Docker for now, but I may host it privately later.

There’s also a built-in Codex assistant (because I don't want to pay some ridiculous API costs) for when I need help writing, searching, or updating something. It can only prepare a draft so nothing gets published back to Obsidian until I review the changes and click Publish myself.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s finally starting to feel like my own workspace!

I just installed Obsidian for a worldbuilding project me and a few friends are working on and I’d like us to all be able to work on it.

Hello again!

I've wanted to let you that you can now fully customize vim cursors too. I've also added a show vim mode in status bar.
To enter Vim mode you will have to toggle it through the plugin settings -> CUA (Common User Access) / VIM

Btw, a fast way to use this plugin is with command palette (ctrl + p). Cursor-Smith has two commands:

1. cycle presets
2. toggle on/off the plugin

If you find any bugs, request any feature please open an issue on github or write it down here!

Have fun!

I get why Graph View is appealing. It looks beautiful and gives you a different perspective on how your notes are connected.

For example you maybe write a book and helps you see your characters, places, stories... connected. But...:

• How do you deal with the visual noise without losing focus?
• How do you organize or cluster nodes?
• How do you actually extract useful insights from/using the graph?

Finally, what are your real-world use cases for Graph View? Has it genuinely improved the way you work, or is it mostly a visualization that's nice to look at? Did you build a framework for using that Graph?

Ink Floating TOC update to v1.0.4

Whats new:

Would love to know you feedback

I've been using a particular Dataview snippet of code for a while now to create nav links at the top of my daily notes without a problem. I recently got a new computer, and had to get Obsidian all set up on it, and I must have missed something, because now the Dataview code isn't working. But I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Here's the code:

```dataviewjs
/* previous/next note by date for Daily Notes Also works for other files having a `date:` YAML entry. MCH 2021-06-14 */ 
var none = '(none)'; 
var p = dv.pages('"Day Planners"').where(p => p.file.day).map(p => [p.file.name, p.file.day.toISODate()]).sort(p => p[1]); 
var t = dv.current().file.day ? dv.current().file.day.toISODate() : luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate(); // Obsidian uses moment.js; Luxon’s format strings differ! 
var format = app['internalPlugins']['plugins']['daily-notes']['instance']['options']['format'] || 'YYYY-MM-DD-dddd'; 
var current = '(' + moment(t).format(format) + ')'; 
var nav = []; 
var today = p.find(p => p[1] == t); 
var next = p.find(p => p[1] > t); 
var prev = undefined; p.forEach(function (p, i) { if (p[1] < t) { prev = p; } }); 

nav.push(prev ? '<<[[' + prev[0] + '|Previous Day]]' : none); 
//nav.push(today ? today[0] : none); 
nav.push(today ? today[0] : current); 
nav.push(next ? '[[' + next[0] + '|Next Day]]>>' : none); 
//dv.list(nav); 
//dv.paragraph(nav.join(" · ")); 
dv.paragraph(nav[0] + ' ← ' + nav[1] + ' → ' + nav[2]); 
```

I think I've isolated the problem to the "var p =..." definition. Something there is going wrong, and the list of pages in the "Day Planners" folder of my vault isn't populating.

A second set of eyes on this would be much appreciated! I'll also be taking a look as I have time at the Dataview documentation, but figured I'd ask here if the answer was obvious.

My Latest PlugIn TRY this Week:

ReverySky Map

MoonSkorch Studio (thanks to the creator: u/natkorch)

Interactive 3D graph built with a game engine and shaped into an explorable universe.

https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/reverysky-map

Map embeds a 3D Unity WebGL map view in Obsidian for inspecting vault structure. It builds the view from Markdown notes, resolved links, tags, note dates, and file metadata, then keeps the runtime in sync with the active filter and focused note.

ReverySky

• Requirements
  • Obsidian 1.12.7 or later
  • Desktop only
  • WebGL-compatible graphics hardware and drivers

This was really easy:

•  ReverySky Map from Obsidian Community plugins.

There is a github: https://github.com/moonskorch/ReverySky-Plugin

I've been playing with since I saw this post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1v2e0ai/reverysky_the_3d_cosmic_graph_i_shared_here_now/ (learning REDDIT actually so if I need to delete this let me know. Thank you!)

Im on ios. Whenever i type in any of my notes, it scrolls me to top, makes it annoying to write in quick notes. What do u use to prevent this?

I've sadly walked away from obsidian active usage and sync due to a new job. Went with vs code as a replacement and learning curve was tough but starting to bear fruit. Connect an nlp tool to it and its lightning for productivity, just as obsidian is. Even a graph view plugin out there!

Anyhow, has anyone else made a similar switch? what are the gotchas? Happy to share how I quasi architected it.
