Unfortunately this video is somewhat outdated as the plugin has moved different parts around and the modified the plugin functionality 😢 if you want useful properties, i recommend just using obsidian's native one paired with metadata menu
Just for clarification - you're saying through updates, they've changed it so much, that you straight up just don't use it anymore? I was just about to dive into this & now I'm left wondering what could have been so drastic?
It looks like contexts are just completely gone despite being mentioned in the readme of the plugin.... I wish I'd seen this comment before messing about with make.md, would have saved me a bunch of wasted time. edit: Nope, they exist, just hidden away in a menu under spaces, and incredibly buggy :(
@@tehbeard sorry to hear, yeah im removing it from my obsidian for beginners playlist now and comments was the best place i could think of since i usually check those whilr watching a video
@@itsjohnmavrickDo you still use it(without their properties functions) I think Notion is more than just properties, isnt it? Like the spaces, different views, the "/", etc.
yep. This is the plugin I was looking for. Something to note, you have to disable the core slash command plugin if you want the slash command feature for this plugin to work.
What I really want to know is how you're making these amazing videos. The process as well as how you're getting that character to emulate your speech synch.
aww, thanks :) i could do a video workflow later in the future, but for the most part i just write, then record my screen + my avatar which is controlled using vtube studio, then use sony vegas pro to edit the avatar is called a vtuber, and it's a model that I paid someone to make (both art and movement in relation to my camera movement). when i talk, I use a webcam which allows for the body and mouth movement
I won't lie Not being able to change the order of the folders and notes on the left hand side almost made me Uninstaller Obsidian (Small reason but mattered to me) I came from OneNote, so I the change was quite big
This looks like a LOT of the missing features i need but i'm going to wait to install til *after* the upcoming Obsidian Release which includes Properties as a Core function because i figure that might confuse things.
Question: Are you going to integrate or utilize this in future versions of the Ultimate Starter Vault? Guessing that would require some significant rebuilding.
There isnt an emphasis on folder organization and it doesn't effortlessly support inline metadata which is what i use in the USV, so the organization stuff isn't implemented, but i think the markdown tools could be useful id say the same functionality can also be achieved with the usv, just through different workflows
i think its useful for people who are into no code solutions, and if i were to start obsidian again i might consider having it as the main structure. only problem is performance issues and consistency with my vault with 5000 notes

Was this plugin updated recently? My interface looks very different from yours. When I open the Spaces tab, there are no spaces or contexts tabs, there is no icon for creating a new space and the button for creating a new note is very small and off to the side. I can choose between "Home", "Vault" and "Tags", which I assume are the pre-made/default spaces. When I click on the Plus Icon right next to them, I can apparently add a new space but it's a lot more finicky than in your case and only shows me a list of my existing folders and files. There is no extra icon that let's me make a new space. The only way I managed to add a new space was by literally going to the obsidian folder in my file explorer. I also can't seem to display multiple spaces at the same time (instead they are more like tabs?) and there is no extra icon to click on when sorting the folders, they just move when I click anywhere on them and drag. I tried this plugin on an existing vault and I can only see my folders when I click on the "Vault" space. But then it's literally just like vanilla Obsidian with the exception that I can manually sort my folders. But most confusingly, it opens a new folder that is also called "Vault", which contains all my other folders again, including another "Vault" folder - so I can keep opening this one indefinitely. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, either way, it just makes it over all less convenient to use and extremely confusing. Your video makes it look so incredibly easy to use, but it just looks so different for me?
thank you for the in depth content ! yeah apparently they changed it up, will add it as a pinned comment :/ i haven't tried the new version so unfortunately not sure how it works now
@@itsjohnmavrick Thank you for the quick reply! I have played around with it for a few hours and eventually got it to work. At the beginning it was really slow and sometimes didn't respond at all, now it runs pretty smooth. The new interface is a bit less intuitive and it will take longer to set up though. There is a setting that increases performance which really helped.
@@fuabtreter7302 Glad to hear you got to somewhat figure it out :) And interesting how you're already experiencing performance issues this early into using the plugin, I'm curious as to why they don't auto-enable it then. If you have any questions I recommend reaching out to their discord !
Thanks for showing plugins like this. This one seems too mouse driven, and too much of a departure from Obsidian for me. But from what kittle I have seen of Notion, it could be good for those users coming in.
Is there any kind of plugin that will easily allow you to color code your text and highlight your text like how we are able to do it in something like Google Docs? Btw nice video
yeah theres been a lot of friction with doing something that not many other people are doing since theres no one i can directly reference + i still have yet to get into the vtuber part of being a vtuber,, but i hope other people will also start doing similar things and a new corner of the internet can emerge hehe
hehe, the craziest one i know of is onigiri, the one that cooks with her model. is there anything else more unique? 👀 but yeah, we live in a society lmao
This is pretty interesting. I wanted ask a few questions. Does the graph view work normally with this plug in? Does any problems accur when I use the plug in with my already existing vault? The last one is that I wanted integrate your Index note to my vault as well. Does this plug in have any effect on that?
graph view works as usual, you can implement it into a new vault and create a system later, and I'm not sure which index note you're referring to, but there should be no problem as well. maybe you can create a copy of your vault as a back up incase there are any issues and you need to revert back?
@@itsjohnmavrick the index thing I was talking about was from your 6 days of Obsidian learnin video. It was also in your templates video I'm kinda new to Obsidian as well so I don't know the terminology.
Love it, but wish instead of constantly saying to type slash when you’re in an empty space, I wish it just said it as a tooltip once or twice and left me alone. It gets annoying seeing that same “Type ‘/‘ for commands” text every line.
What's the point of using folders in Obsidian? Maps of contents offer much more flexibility as each note can live in multiple MOCs instead of just one folder (or space).
yeah, but if you like it makes sense to keep input notes and other specific kinds of notes in folders that contain that certain note type. I personally do use links tho
Everytime I past and Image; - it random displays in an unsorted format as Pasted Image 1218381. ... Is there a way to sort these automatically or to remove them being duplicated when I paste? as it wreckts the look of the vault?. If you know a way pls.
That is very useful @@itsjohnmavrick. However, how would I keep my images secure? ... I dont just want them floating around due to sensitive information on many. If you know how to filter for this, - So I can manage the images.
@@MCandMosRandomChannel you may want to try the "Paste Image Rename" community plugin, which displays a popup when you paste an image into an Obsidian note and you can then change the filename right there. By default, the plugin only listens for pasted images but you can set it to act on all attachments (e.g. images you drag into Obsidian from File Explorer). Also, consider the core Obsidian Settings for specifying where attachments should be saved as the default is to dump everything into the root of your vault.
holy mfucking shit! obsidian + notion combined is just too op, it's like obsidian on steriods, other than the aspect that notion is cloud based, idk why would anyone use notion after this. Thanks for introducing this plugin, great video ❤
that is true, but I think we can redefine the way folders are used. in my case, I have each folder as a type of note in the vault. I can still make connections to other notes and note types, but if I just wanted to see all my books or video scripts for example I can just open the folder note and I have the ability to filter and sort from it
this is making Obsidian look like it is literally Notion. it's not embracing Obsidian's markdown syntax note taking system that this app originally has. If this plugin's only objective is to make Notion have an easier alternative note taking app, then it is just better to learn Notion as a whole than transferring to this app to use this plugin. At least by that, Notion has all the very advanced database system accessible the moment you open the software rather than just installing different community plugins in Obsidian.
how does it not embrace obsidians markdown syntax note-taking system? youre still able to use it? it just provides extra functionality, including a command bar to help with creating markdown elements
@@itsjohnmavrick I just find it better if you use an app in raw form without extensions/plugins like this if not necessarily needed. i love Obsidian though, it's fun learning it's markdown syntax. I guess it's just really based on a person's preferences
ruclips.net/video/ISpII6nsego/видео.html - I can`t understand , why when I do so it just moves the folder into different space. And for you it "duplicates" the folder or "mirroring" it into another space? Some additional setting? Great video as always!
@@itsjohnmavrick You are right! Great advice! I really need to move folder only from the ROOT VAULT in order to make it work (to duplicate). Thank you!
I don't like this plugin anymore. It literally makes your whole vault unusable if you decide to to turn this plugin off. Everything is out of place, and I don't know how to put it back other than just creating a new vault 😐
An interesting plugin, especially spaces. 2 last chapters remind me usage of Dataview, but using GUI instead of typing everything (maybe I'm wrong here? It has something which can't be done via Dataview?)
essentially :) the no code user interface, grouping capabilities, and the different views at which you can use the view are reasons why people may prefer it
Soooooo that makes like what 4, 5 ways now that obsidian can do what notion does? Yeah, with all the other things that are obsidian exclusive it's a no brainer
@@itsjohnmavrick Haha right! It can be tricky for beginners. This plugin looks super user friendly, which is great to see! Cool vid man, keep up the good work!
The plugin and its ways of doing things seems so incredibly over-engineered for its aim. It seems to be so round-about and take such a long way around what otherwise should be way more strait forward and simple. The time wasted on trying to get things the way you want could be spent actually getting work done. I'm going to try out AnyType instead.
I personally think it's pretty straightforward, especially since they have to work on top of obsidian seeing as it's not a native feature its a bit of setup for the rest of your time using the vault anytype does sound cool tho :o
