Well, it’s a little old now, but still a good piece of software: Anthemion’s Writer’s Cafe is available for free, and does some of what you want (although it’s not really a bib...
Heh heh, I’m amused by your question, because I’m enjoying Obsidian for precisely this reason – I’m finding ways to produce the perfect PKM based on careful selection of m...
Collaboration Frustration
3/24/2025
I’ve just finally succumbed to CRIMPtation and subscribed to Obsidian Sync (the lower tier), and I must say, it makes a big difference. No more complex attempts at cross-syncing from GitHub (Obs...

Ah yes, I see. Well, there’s always Obsidian ;-)

Er, Craft can indeed move blocks around, either by dragging and dropping (hover over a block, you’ll see a “handle” on the left-hand side) or using keyboard shortcuts (Option+Command...
Coppice

Ah, I remember Coppice! I was profoundly impressed by it when it first appeared, but didn’t go ahead and subscribe simply because it’s uniplatform (Mac only).
But what a great piece of so...

Wow, Neville, Clibu Notes is turning into a very impressive piece of software.
I have a busy CRIMPing schedule ;-), but I’m going to try it out a.s.a.p.
Acreom

I’ve had exactly the same issue. I’ve now refined my list of Obsidian plugins to a bare minimum, which meets pretty well all my needs, but I prefer to manage my tasks using another system,...

There are back/forward arrows in the top (menu) bar which allow you to move back/forward through the pages you’ve been viewing.

Sure. I’ve switched over to the dedicated thread!
Crimping as nihilism

Very nicely put. Shows a certain desire to avoid examining the nature of CRIMPing too closely, but hey, we all understand ;-)

After musing further on this alarming article (wow, what a lot of detailed breakdowns!), I must disagree with the author’s simplistic conclusion.
One of the main reasons I think we all CRIMP is...

Absolutely! I utterly repudiate the idea that I’m a nihilist. And yet I have just spent a couple of hours wrestling with the impressive but somewhat erudite Anytype (multi-platform, open-source,...

Oh wow, that’s good news!

Interesting – reminiscent (in general features) of MacJournal, also an oldie but goldie. But the tagging is much more sophisticated.

Amplenote

Heh, there’s an Obsidian plug-in which allows you to do the same thing (can’t remember offhand what it’s called).

Well, that in itself is a jolly good reason for doing something ;-)

Apple Notes Has Folding

A quick test (with all “locked” notes unlocked) showed that Exporter does still work. It successfully exported 814 of my 820 notes, and put the 6 others in a “Failed Exports” f...
Great news, Maurizio! Your industry and the steady evolution of Zavala do you credit!
Cheers!

Apple Notes Has Folding

Ah. Also worth mentioning Obsidian’s “Importer” plugin, which does a fairly good job.

Yes, I find Time Machine pretty much hopeless. There is, however, a nice little utility available on the Mac App Store called Exporter. It will export your notes to a number of different formats (incl...

Aha. I’ve just discovered the “Remotely Save” plugin, which does (apparently) allow you to sync a local vault on e.g. iOS with a remote Obsidian vault (on e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, Goo...
