What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

As someone who loves both apps, you might be surprised with the functionality in Obsidian's plugin platform. I have to-dos, kanban boards, book reviews, media embeds. You can even use JavaScript to code with your files and their properties (not that everyone needs to do that of course).

I use Notion at work still, but Obsidian has come really far since I first heard of it. I will say though migrating has not been an easy process.

Hey I decided to download Obsidian and give it another shot. Have you tried migrating any databases to the database plugin? How comparable is it to using them in Notion?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hey there! Databases aren't something I've done yet in Obsidian, although I'm at my computer right now so I took a quick peek and I think maybe https://dataloom.xyz/ is what you're looking for. Seems to be angled specifically at Notion users.

Woah that seems really neat!! Thanks for telling me. Damn it's moments like these I wish Lemmy had awards. So helpful. 🏅

I try my best, haha. Hope the app works out for you!

Thanks for letting me know, the few times I had tried Obsidian in the past I was unaware of plugins. Sounds like some of them might be adding the functionality I'm looking for! I'll definitely check it out again soon!
