You could use Obsidian Web Clipper to save pages from your browser and then make a base that filters based on the folder or tag you use for your bookmarks. https://obsidian.md/clipper

The rows are individual Markdown files and the columns are YAML frontmatter properties in those files. There are some special properties prefixed by `file.` which are implicit to the file itself, e.g.`file.name` refers to the file name, and

You can import all the underlying data from Notion using the Obsidian Importer plugin, however I believe that Notion's Databases export only includes a CSV. So you'll need to recreate the views to be able to interact with them dyn

I understand you're trying to be more precise, but what the average person cares about is whether the knife rusts easily or not. I don't think the average person is going to understand what you mean by "immutable properties a

> The promise that Obsidian will always use markdown isn’t self-guaranteeing. True, but Obsidian doesn't make that promise. The promise is "file over app": you control the files you create. In this way the promise is not r

Not all materials are a good example of a self-guaranteeing promise because purity can't always be easily verified at home without special equipment. In the example of stainless steel it is "stainlessness" that is the promi

Simply, it is an unpolished thought. It gives coworkers a lens into what you're thinking and gives space for ideas that are not fully baked.

FWIW it's not something I asked anyone to do. The practice started organically and continues to exist because everyone created their own channel and kept going with it. One thing I suggested was that they should be muted by default so

In practice 2-10 individual channels with 1-3 posts per week has less overhead than one off-topic channel with 30 posts because there's less mystery meat. It reduces the "am I missing something important?" feeling. We do also

That's pretty much the conclusion of my article linked above, at least short term. When I worked on that AR device we experimented with a segmented electrochromic layer that could allow a mixture of see-through and pass-through, but it

I agree with your core sentiment but unfortunately we don't have a mass-producible display technology that allows for black pixels in a see-through optic (yet). It's going to be really hard to achieve. Pass-through is the only AR

Currently I am relying on manual testing and user feedback, but yes, I'd like to add tests. Defuddle works quite differently from Readability. Readability tends to be overly conservative and tends to remove useful content because it te

No it's all rules-based. I think the code you're referring to is "extractors", which are website-specific rules that I'm working on to standardize the output from sites with comments threads (e.g. HN, Reddit) and co

The input is there to test the url option — which I admit is a bit confusing, so I have removed it for now. I haven't found a good and free way to proxy requests from a GitHub page (yet).

Since the content is saved to Markdown you can use it with pretty much any tool that will ingest that content. There's also Obsidian Web Clipper's Interpreter feature, which lets you run prompts on a web page before saving: https

If Obsidian didn't allow people to store files in the device storage it would be accused of forcing people to use the paid first-party Sync. Offering both options lets people make the choice that's better for them.

Joplin uses its own database, it can't edit Markdown files.
