    This has been SO helpful Mike, thanks. For me, there's a couple of stand-out plugins I never knew existed, but which both will help immeasurably. I use Obsidian to journal in, but it's more free-form than the bullet approach you take. But one of the first things I do is open up YouTube or Tidal and grab some focus music to journal to, so the SoundScape plugin is incredibly helpful. But also, being a relatively new person to Obsidian, I was not even aware of the fact there are different callouts...so now I can visually make a distinction between callouts which are prayers, and callouts which are bible passages, particularly when it comes to creating sermons. So, thanks very much for those plugins. The only frustration for me, is that I don't use a mouse, but I use a Wacom Tablet, and Obsidian currently does not support the pen drivers, so I can't really use Canvas, or else that would be super helpful.

    Fun fact, obsidian already has a way to change callout types without having to manually change the syntax. Just right click on a callout and choose the Change callout type option. From the list you can freely switch between the different callouts
  • @Mikarevival
    Great Idea with Tasks in Canvas. Mononote ist bugged (Outlink Mentions). Share Note is very useful. I didn't know about Soundscapes: Thank you. I tried it and now I am using it all the time. Great Plugin for me. I didn't know Pinboard. I am using Omnivore and I am super happy with it. Great Video. Thank you Mike!
  • @ChrisGurney
    Thank you for the shoutout to Note Toolbar! I'd love to hear if you have ideas for features you would like to see added that would make it even more useful for your use case(s).
  • Wow! thanks for sharing all this. If you ever created a more in depth video where you demonstrate some of the more rare gems which dont already have tons of online tutorials on youtube I would be all up for that.
  • @pnddesign
    I consider myself as a power user , and I was able to extract some gems :) Query Control is one of them !
  • Mike you should consider offering a full workshop. I followed the one you made for the sweet setup, but there is more to say and show.
  • @trickstur5994
    Obsidian finally updated the way they do word count in one of the latest releases.
  • I would highly rec moving away from wordpress. So unstable and slow in my experience. Ghost cms has been a thousand times faster/easier.
