       @nicole @obsidian If it’s as informative, engaging, interesting, relevant as your other works (especially your YouTube vids) then I know it will be great! No luck will be needed ☺️

       @post @EpiphanicSynchronicity I think you’re missing what they’re saying. They’re not simply spouting someone else’s marketing lines (which is what you seem to be implying). Personally, although I could, I don’t want to have to maintain a codebase indefinitely into the future so that my notes stay usable. So for people like me, what would you do? You’d chose to set things up in a way that you could move with minimum friction. There will always be apps that can read .md

       @post @ellane @EpiphanicSynchronicity Hmmm … your comment comes across as a little passive-aggressive to me. Maybe @ellane  knows full well how Unix works and doesn’t need someone else to explain that to her.And for the record, I very much agree with her philosophy. I’m a big supporter of #FOSS but don’t see it as the only way to do things. In the end, what I need is to be productive. I’ll weigh the options and make my choices.

       @post @EpiphanicSynchronicity > Obsidian users known about Markdown but miss that it is not the only standard that can be adopted. Why do you assume I missed that?

       @post Sorry, didn’t mean to turn this all negative. People were trying to explain to you why they use and prefer Obsidian, and you seemed to be telling them they were wrong. I’m sure that’s not how you meant it to come across. My bad. I’m 100% happy for people to use what works for them. It’s great we have options. I don’t agree with any CEO attacking others if that’s what happened (I have no idea, didn’t see this). So stand with you on that.

       @nicole @EpiphanicSynchronicity @ellane I have one in astrodon.social (this, for talking about science and productivity) and one in aus.social (mostly for talking about local/home stuff). I merged my pkm.social into astrodon for simplicity. But depending on your Masto app you can read the local feed of any instance and interact from your favourite account. So no need for a local account if you don’t want. Mona is great for this. Toot! and Ice cubes as well.

       @nicole @obsidian I use this simple query in my daily note template. It picks a random note from a directory at creation and hard-writes it into the created note.<%* files = app.vault.getFiles().filter(f => f.path.includes("Zettels"))random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (files.length - 1)) randomNote = files[random] tR += `> - Research: [[${randomNote.path}|${ randomNote.basename }]]\n` %>

       @nicole @obsidian I like this better than using dataview-type queries. There, I always ended up with a new random note whenever my daily note was reopened.

       @markmcelroy This doesn’t answer your question, but @nicole has a new post about random discovery of notes in #obsidian. Putting it here in case anyone is interested. https://pkm.social/@nicole/110039703679555711

       @nicole @obsidian Great video @nicole. A comment though. I don’t think your solution is going to work on an iPad, because the Dropbox cloud directories aren’t accessible from other apps in iPadOS. And maybe the same for Android. This was the big sticking point for me. I ended up using Koofr for storage which lets you set things up with WebDAV. Local copies on my laptop and accessible from phone and tablet. Works seamlessly, including external links from Obsidian.

       @nicole @apolaine That’s the coolest thing I’ve heard in a long time!

       @nicole @obsidian More like settings. But still all good. I guess they keep a connection to the plug-in community, as they works very similarly.
