Content

Hey folks! This week's video is about the Obsidian Projects plugin. I had a chat with the developer of this plugin last week, and this is a summary of what the plugin is and how it works. In short, it's a way to create multiple views for the same set of data. I know this is something I missed from Notion!

Note: If you try to watch this video and can't access it, that's probably because a few hours before I publish it for everyone (outside of Patreon) to see, YouTube marks it as "private". If this happens, try again in a few hours and it will be publicly viewable then!

pkm.social (Mastodon)

After my livestream with the developer of the Projects plugin, Marcus Olsson, he posted a random question on Twitter about a Mastodon server for PKM. I replied, and together we created pkm.social, which is a place for anyone in the PKM community to gather. If you haven't heard about Mastodon, it is an open-source, ad-free, federated microblogging service-- think Twitter, but without the pesky algorithm that tries to keep you on there. Here's a nice introductory video by the Mastodon folks.

Sign up if you'd like to connect with likeminded folks! I am paying for the costs of hosting this server, but it's free for everyone else! Supporting me here on Patreon helps me do things like this for the community, so thank you for that! <3

If you're looking to create a content calendar in Obsidian just like in Notion, the new Obsidian Projects plugin presents new options for managing content using multiple views: Table, Board, Calendar, and Gallery to start with, but hopefully more in the future. Projects is a framework for creating new views for the same data and aims to play well with other plugins. // RESOURCES My live interview with Obsidian Projects dev: https://youtu.be/LdaMe2rzAW8 Marcus's post on the plugin: https://marcus.se.net/announcing-obsidian-projects/ Obsidian Projects on GitHub: https://github.com/marcusolsson/obsidian-projects My Patreon: https://patreon.com/nicolevdh // TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:23 The old way: Kanban + Fantasy Calendar 03:21 New: Obsidian Projects plugin 04:34 Creating a content template and folder 07:14 How to use Obsidian Projects 09:15 Calendar View 10:30 Board View 11:02 Gallery View --- // ABOUT ME Site: https://nicolevanderhoeven.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/n_vanderhoeven LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nvanderhoeven My travel YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/luckydippers k6 YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/k6test // APPS I USE - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md - Readwise: https://readwise.io/nicole - Reclaim: https://reclaim.ai/r/s/yYOqK // GEAR https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/gear/ // WANT TO SUPPORT ME? ❤️ Join my Patreon and get my sample vault with templates: https://patreon.com/nicolevdh ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/nicolevdh ✈️ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmQZ9HHnJ2qpd6udc8iYYw/join Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, which means I may get a small percentage when you sign up using those links.
