In line with your 'hugs' property, I have the 'coffee' property. Listing how someone likes take their coffee (black, with milk, sugar, both. Espresso. Cappuccino. etc.). Thank you for the video! 😄

You are so cool and helpful!!! I don’t know where you find the TIME! NO productivity app can explain THAT! 😅

Hi Nicole, there is a way to have a reminder in the callout or comments so I do not get lost in my thinking way

[ROSIVALDOFERREIRACORREA]

Muito boa a sua explicação e metodologia.

Can I recommend you modal-form plugin? It works nice with templater

[jonr]

Yeah, NP++ can do global replace on an entire folder (content of all files), scary-powerful but handy.

Knowing RegEx would leverage that power...

[cant_sleeeep]

is it a way to see tasks on calendar view? can you make a video about it?

[Metruzanca]

OH? You work for Grafana? Thats pretty cool.

[jacoposalvatore]

Thank you so much Nicole! Just one question: on Mac, how do you use the option key for shortcuts instead of making it insert symbols?

[SamTeeWe]

How do you get those numbered lines in your templates for easy reference?

[SirBeatz]

Is it possible to have templates for file names? For use with prefixes for example…

[jules_lewis]

How do you style the folders like that?
