publishable bases :)

& all that being said, I use Obsidian daily & appreciate you & the company building such a fantastic app!

A way to draw directly into notes with the Apple pencil. I'd pay for Obsidian Sync if this was done well. Currently I use separate apps for handwritten notes on an iPad and typed ones on a desktop, and it would be amazing if I could painlessly combine the two.

Hi, if this still doesn't exist (which is the reason I stopped using Obsidian), I'd really like to see native Android push notifications for tasks/reminders in the Obsidian app.

Vault Groups I mean, I can fake it with: ~/Obsidian/SomeWrapperDir vault1 -> /usr/local/projects/vault1 vault2 -> /usr/local/projects/vault2 and point at the wrapper as a vault root.. it works, but would be nice to have "add dir to vault".

Better native search: preslav.me/2022/05/31/o...

A built-in plaintext editor, so you can edit .txt files, or edit .md files as plaintext. I need to do this all the time, and I currently use an extension for it, but none of the extensions are very good.

Yes, but it's awkward, which is why I said *better* multi-window UX. There's currently no keyboard shortcut to open a new window, for example, and many tools are only available on the "main" window.

Access note's headings as properties for bases

Already on the roadmap but bases support in obsidian publish. I’d also personally really appreciate a setting to not include any obsidian css for publish so I don’t have to fight it / overwrite it / ship unused styles.

Use the "insert attachment" button

I think Advanced Tables does what you want

It would be interesting to include an option to automatically delete files linked to a note when it is removed. Often, when I delete a note, its attachments become irrelevant, but they remain stored in the attachments folder, taking up unnecessary space.

Export to raw HTML with cross links and TOC. Resulting UX like a folder tree in a filesystem, but HTML. I want to export my vault so others can load it and view/navigate it using. browser applied to a file system directory of HTML.

A way to share a part of your vault with someone. Vaults would need to be composable I guess, but then you could obsidian sync a sub-vault with people. Notion and other online tools get this easier, but with obsidian sync I think it should still be a possibility.

This 😊

- Free-form writing in Canvas. - Make a Obsidian Base be based on a single JSON file, and not necessarily a group of markdown notes. - Scoping templates to folders or other note properties, handling many templates gets messy. - Auto-apply templates under certain conditions.

Access to note's content and images in bases, so I can show the first image and a content snippet in a card. Now I have to use a script to write these data to properties.

I don't know if it's wise to incorporate a todo feature set into Obsidian (such as reminders). But there is definitely a lack of a "file over app" approach in the todo universe. But maybe someday someone will develop "Lava." 😁

What about, Task on Bases? Actually i have a lot of dataviewjs that could be easily migrated to the new cool Bases

- mindmaps in canvas - Bases views: calendar, kanban… - audio notes: transcription - Not markdown… i know but i would like to have a 2 columns blocks - 1GB -> 5GB per repo - Task, Periodic Notes and Templater community plugins into core plugins?

Really? o_O I figured there’d be people who prefer a more “plaintext style” UI, but didn’t think it would be a divisive thing.

Oh lmao yeah I hadn’t updated. This is insanely fast now. Thank you so much for pushing that update out 🙏

From the roadmap, I'm most excited to see a search feature in Bases. Otherwise, it'd be cool to combine the outlinks and backlinks panels into a single thing instead of having two. Maybe it's possible with Bases, but I have yet to try.

Mobile performance tends to be an issue when working with lists, tables and text... I tend to move to source mode because it is a bit better... my vault is growing and the mobile usability is the least great feature :D

.obsidianignore

Journaling Suggestions API for iOS since it's not possible to access via plugins

- Desktop resident mode (tray/menu-bar app) with background synchronization - Proper behavior of the Workspaces core plugin in Obsidian Sync environments - Dynalist-style view or Dynalist integration

I haven't kept up on this but it'd be amazing to easily keep images outside of Obsidian but be able to pull them up for viewing when I'm on the computer with the images. I'd like to write metadata for the images in Obsidian.

PDF annotation and just better PDF handling in general.

Prioritized sync? I want the most recently files I worked on to be synced first, so I can resume work on my mobile/laptop without waiting awhile for the full sync to finish. Larger storage for the sync service for the price A web interface that is secure/encrypted for when I need to work remote

Mostly just psyched for kanban bases.

Does Obsidian Synch not work for you? Heading level metadata is an interesting idea

A core “enrichment” plugin that augments existing data in a vault: identifies entities (people / organisations) and gives the option to creates notes with background information / links to external sources. Native connectors to standard internet calendar and contact services.

Obsidian Git is an option, I used it before switching to Sync. Works well enough but it’s clunky on iOS. github.com/Vinzent03/ob...

there are already many free solutions our focus with Sync is making the best one, that deserves to be paid for

This isn’t very helpful but some better mode of collaboration. It’s the last reason I still wind up using notion

iOS shortcuts integration I’d love to go from an email in iOS Mail to appending smth to a note in a vault file The iOS shortcuts integration would allow: exposing the list of files, appending to a file, creating a new file etc. Thanks a ton!

iPad multitasking: multiple notes / vaults open side-by-side

Internal links to a base view.. [[foo.base/bar]]

a better file explore system/representation i know you do not use file system much inside Obsidian, but i really think the dropdown menu for file just doesn't work with Obsidian as a whole
