Obsidian Bases -- any use cases?
12/22/2025
I have been investigating bases for a few weeks. My thoughts are that a) it is easier to learn than dataview. I used dataview intermittently, and after a break, often had to remind myself how to write...
My recollection of what happened to the developer of ConnectedText is that he had a bad bicycle accident. He made some initial assurances that he would get back to ConnectedText, but never did. One ca...

So interesting to see that there are still active users of ConnectedText!. I loved that program, but gave up years ago because of lack of development/support

This is true of so many of the new apps. And so many don't give a free trial. And the worst require a one year subscriptio...
Sidekick cure: does it work?
12/31/2023
Crimping seems to have overlap with OCD as well, IMO. Always looking for perfection.
The name Sidekick reminded me of a piece of MSDOC software from the 80s. It was an early tool PIM tool. I wonder h...

I also had trouble finding any materials. I kept coming up with lessons on tangents in geometry, which is most definitely NOT what I was looking for. Sorry to go off on a tangent...

Ghostreader in Readwise Reader

I reactivated, and it is worth every penny now,_. Especially if one is using Obsidian

Discourse map!

So true. As a CRIMPEr of 30+years, I have never come across software so highly ratedand with so much potential, and yet so difficult to use as to be of no value to me

This forum is a time capsule

I had the same question. I did a random sample of 5 from the commercial group and 5 from the freeware group. None of the commercial links sampled were still active. Four of the five freeware samples ...

I agree with this as well. I would add to an earlier post in this thread, that the subscription model forces one to be more selective about which tools to subscribe to. In the early days, as a confirm...

And a true CRIMPER will come back to softtware that didn't work for them time and again, "just in case it has changed"
PDF File Mgmt. Question

I have. It takes a little time to set it up, but saves a lot of drudgery once you have. I have had no problems with it.
PDF File Mgmt. Question

I am not sure if this meets your needs, but look at DropIt. It is a utility that can monitor folders and rename and move the files based on rules and actions you set. For example, you can scan in a ta...

I am not sure if this will meet your needs, but you may want to try Tribalpages.com, which is a site dedicated to creation of family trees and allows for posting of pictures.
This is a really great article. Thanks for posting it
2019 reflection question
12/31/2019
I agree with the comment about the sameness of the new products. The most elegant products that have existed over the last few decades have also been complex to learn and challenged one to think hard...
