  • I also use more than one vault:

    • cooking recipes (read-only, used for reference, contains all recipes from Paprika, a recipe app)
    • Microsoft Writing Style Guide (read-only, used for reference, synced from the official Microsoft GitHub repo)
    • Tasks and everything synced from Readwise; I read and review books mainly for publishers so it’s super handy to keep book notes and when to publish what in the same space
    • dumps from projects with a lot of text that allows me to use the vault as a kind of database

  • I use Obsidian for different purposes:

    • my digital garden, handled via a plugin and GitHub
    • technical writing: I work as a tech writer so I use Obsidian for research and to review my writing against a number of frameworks and style guides
    • create presentations: nothing spiffy, mainly using the built-in presentation functionality
    • note-taking in meetings: I take notes of everything, from screenshots to screencasts to audio. Everything is searchable through the Omnisearch plugin



  • Would you say there’s need to use MarkDownload now that Obsidian handles copy+paste from web pages better than in the olden days?

    I used MarkDownload a few years ago, but these days I mainly copy webpage contents and paste it into Obsidian. Is there an upshot to using MarkDown instead of doing it my way?


  • Thanks! I just tried Omnivore, but it appears that highlighted images are broken in Obsidian; these images don’t link to the original image but rather through Omnivore’s own proxy, which (for me) breaks the images.

    I prefer the Pocket > Readwise > Obsidian route, meaning I use the Readwise plugin in Obsidian. It costs a pretty penny but doesn’t send images through a proxy…
