Current status #obsidian #dataview

Eg I’ve been taking notes on oat milks as I research/try them (for cereal, mostly) and trying to read over bullet lists with “120mg sodium, 4g sugar, …” makes my eyes hurt.

Why am I not just leaning into #Obsidian #DataView and making each milk its own tiny note with some inline fields? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I'm probably going to do this, but the issue is, it /feels/ like "overkill”. Why?)

Those queries, FWIW, end up being quite straightforward once you figure out the right syntax. (Eg FLATTEN is my new bestie.) #Obsidian #DataView

## True orphans
```dataview
TABLE
WHERE !file.outlinks AND !file.inlinks
```

## Near orphans
```dataview
TABLE
WHERE !file.outlinks AND none(filter(file.inlinks, (x) => x.file.folder != "Journal"))
```

## Figments
```dataview
TABLE
FLATTEN file.outlinks as out
WHERE !out.file AND !meta(out).embed
GROUP BY out
```

Chalk up another win for #Obsidian + #DataView. Have a nice little page with embedded lists of:

- actual orphans: pages that exist but have no wikilinks in or out
- near-orphans: orphans that may have links, but only inwards from daily notes (ie: I made them when I dreamt them up during journaling, but forgot to link them elsewhere in my mind map!)
- "figments": uncreated pages that are aspirationally linked somewhere (including from journal entries).

It was a week until I had my answers

1️⃣ Writing into Obsidian is effortless. I can write first, and organize later. I don’t need to figure out database structures before taking notes. #dataview FTW 🚀

2️⃣ The community is absolutely incredible and seriously underrated 🫛

Here's the code for #Obsidian #Dataview: https://gist.github.com/joerncodes/f238414b8c4d030658f5cfec6890d0cc

New article dropped! I talk about building your own personal "highlight reels" into #Obsidian Canvas with #Readwise and #Dataview -- A fun way to surface random quotes from your notations.

@randomgeek see also: why I’m experimenting with moving certain workflows from #Airtable to #Obsidian #Dataview

@dnorman I haven't messed with the canvas, but #Dataview, Templater, and Readwise import are killer features for me.

How do you all handle daily recurring tasks in #Obsidian ?

I have recurring tasks as separate notes in a folder and my daily note template shows these through a #dataview

## Daily Tasks

```dataview
TASK FROM "00-META/03-Calendar/03-3-recur/03-3-1-daily"
```

This works fine, but when I'd like the task to be copied, not linked (completing a task in the daily note, completes it in the template)

Am I overcomplicating this or is there a better way?

Took some time to improve my #obsidian #publish #digitalgarden

1. Migrated to https://notes.joschua.io
2. Gave it a facelift and simplified the styles significantly
3. Updated the book database (which turned out to be super easy with #dataview )

This week was quiet at work so I spent time going through nearly every non-daily note in my #obsidian vault. I got to know #dataview basic queries and a teeny tiny piece of #templater and installed some other new-to-me tools to make my workflows smoother.

One thing I noticed is that I had a tendency to link out a lot and fall into a trap of making pages that were basically bookmark lists. In 2023 I want to make an effort to add more of my own thoughts and connections. #pkm

@chris @nicole I add a tag to the page when I want to take it to the next step and an inline #dataview field that summarizes what I want to do.

Then I have a Note with a table of the articles that are tagged and the action.

Working for me for the “someday” things I don’t want to clutter up as tasks and those things don’t get as lost.

After 1.5 years of using #Obsidian something FINALLY clicked with #dataview this week.

This sample vault was the key. https://github.com/s-blu/obsidian_dataview_example_vault I learn best hands-ons. Thank you if the author is here.

I’m nowhere near writing DataviewJS queries from scratch, but that’s okay. I’m getting a lot out of the basic DQL ones.

I got all my notes nicely organized into folders, with frontmatter, tags, fields, templates, etc. It’s all making sense now and I love it.

I've created an automated workflow to transform a Discogs user collection into an Obsidian vault with support for Dataview queries. See https://github.com/doctorfree/Obsidian-Custom-Discogs

Finally after big headache 😸 forced #Obsidian to make simple chart in #ObsidianChart feeding it with #Dataview based on hashtag search

How have I gone this long without knowing about #Dataview functionality in Obsidian?

#NoteTaking #writing #amwriting #nonfiction #WritingCommunity #GameChanger

I'm loving the Dataview plugin more and more in Obsidian, it's a whole own SQL-ish database but made up of markdown files.

This flexibility is insane.

And I've not even delved in DataviewJS yet.
