ReadItLater – Obsidian Plugin
by
After last week’s look at some read later services I had a bunch of suggestions including the Obsidian ReadItLater plugin. To test this out you need to go to Obsidian settings then Community Plugins where you can search for and active this plugin. Usage Unlike the Obsidian Web Clipper you don’t use an external tool…
Linkwarden vs Wallabag vs Obsidian Web Clipper
by
Yes Omnivore is gone so today we’re going to take a look at 3 other options for saving articles to read later. My biggest issue with all of them is how poorly they handle YouTube content. If you’ve got other options I should look at I’d love to hear about them.
Omnivore – open source read later
by
There are many services and applications around to save content to read later. Academics often lean towards something like Zotero, but most people don’t need the heavy citation management that is present in an application like Zotero. For most of us an application like Omnivore is just what we need, a place to save articles…
Export Note Links with Obsidian Easy Bake
by
As I’ve been moving all my book notes over to my website I’ve needed an easy way to get my transclusions from my notes into plain markdown. While Obsidian shows them, when you copy a note normally you don’t get the text at the other end of a transclusion. This is where Easy Bake has…
Is Obsidian Slow on the iPad?
by
Recently I engaged in a short discussion with Chris Lawley on Mastodon about Obsidian feeling really slow on my iPad. In short, I’ve been using my iPad less because Obsidian has been slow.

I’m still also not entirely sold on Zotero for my storage needs after leaving DEVONthink behind so let’s look into how Obsidian handles PDF files. Native PDF Handling To…
Fix Obsidian Book Search Error
by
I love the Obsidian Book Search plugin, but it has an issue…everyone using it shares the same key. That means you can exceed the API connection limit for the day based on the interactions of other users. Luckily vityav has a fix in a GitHub comment which I applied and works. Today I’ll walk you…
Add Icons to Obsidian Content
by
While I’m not a huge icon/emoji person, I know a number of people really love them and want to be able to use icons directly in their content easily in Obsidian. For those people we have Obsidian Icon Shortcodes, which is a plugin that lets you add icons, even custom ones easily. To get the…
Research with Me – PARA Method by Tiago Forte
by
In today’s research session we looked at The PARA Method by Tiago Forte. When I started reading this book I was thinking of it as a PKM or Zettelkasten book, but it’s not. It’s a productivity book, a new take on some ideas from GTD and other productivity sources. When I start evaluating the book…
