📔 Obsidian Notes

After being prompted by @jsnapoli1, I’ve started using Obsidian. Still using Workflowy a lot (nothing can surpass the speed, accessibility, and flexibility of Workflowy), but trying to move my content notes, management, and creation to Obsidian. There is a huge value in being able to integrate with local files.

More to come …

Dealing with line wraps in Obsidian

In most of my repos, I have a .prettierrc config with:

proseWrap: always

This wraps text in MD files to the default line width of 80 characters. This makes it easy to read the files with long paragraphs in a text editor, or any text view.

But, in Obsidian edit mode, you see things like:

The view mode renders these OK, but the edit mode (where we spend most of our time) shows the breaks.

At this point, it seems the easiest fix is to just zoom out or make your window bigger to the point where you can see 80 character lines:

One of the keys for me is to be able to use Helix, Typora, Gitea/GitHub, Claude – anything on a common set of files.

I use Typora daily. It is one of the few pieces of software that I have purchased.

How do you like Claude?

I’m finding Obsidian can do most of the the advanced things Typora can (like paste tables directly from a spreadsheet into markdown), plus it is really nice for navigating your workspace (this is what it was designed to do).

Pretty well, I find it very useful. OpenCode seems similar. Our world has changed. The best way I can describe it right now is that it feels like I have a team of smart interns working with me.
