Was getting confused that some of the options and layouts in 2023 don't match with what was recorded for this video. For anyone confused, I guess that Starred Notes has been replaced by Bookmarks.

[nowmoderntaichi]

I agree that the focus in Obsidian is on 'writing, thinking and linking' rather than formating - not to be distracted by proprietary functions.

[arisilias]

Subtly flexing his graph... I like it!

[dangoldfish]

This is an absolutely incredible set of tutorials! Thank you so much for putting it together!

[johnmicheal]

I just discovered Obsidian and it blows my mind how impressive it is.

[officeoffice]

I just came to know about a book called "building a second brain" by Tiago Forte. From there, I have started exploring note taking apps. First time while I encounter with obsidian, it was really daunting. But your videos encourage to learn this. Thank you very much.

[PMF]

It's great how you arrange the explanations based on Obsidian's true settings, it helps newbie like me understand better rather than having to look all over the screen trying to find the functions being explained.

[rtalmon]

Was about ready to give up on Obsidian till I found this series. Now I think I'm hooked. Excellent content.

[crippsuniverse]

Its amazing. Now, whenever I speak I'm accompanied by relaxing, inspiring music that appears out of nowhere...

[kamalaakarsh]

Finally...the most perfect (right content, in right structure, in right pace) Obsidian walkthrough videos ever. Thanks a lot. Amazing work.

“Writing, thinking and linking. “ Thanks for boiling it down to, what I would call, a first principle.

[summerblue]

Your videos are so cohesive I don’t feel like I’m wasting time like while watching most productivity channels

[RyanNagy]

Obsidian has changed many of the defaults to what you suggest in this video! They must be watching. Even so, this is still a great tutorial for learning the basics of the settings and how to work with them.

[francisrunzel]

I love that you shared Gall's Law, and I instantly got to put that into obsidian. Thank you for the reference. It's an amazing one for the associations I have in my brain.

[veterenProGem]

As an architect type of note taker I am starting to find Obsidian in a sense of freedom. No need to actively organize yet it is exactly where I need it.

[fkoti]

You are my soulmate of organization and thinking! I found your channel and I am a new subscriber. In love with your content and the level of depth, you bring on the subject of organizing your thinking.

[microbroadcast]

2024 - and I think this is still the best. Others assume a certain amount of knowledge beforehand.

[MBLxHD]

This playlist of Obsidian is incredible! Fantastic work, Nick. Your Obsidian playlists have gotten me to switch from Notion, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for putting together such an informative series!

[Xx_Eric_was_Here_xX]

i feel like i learned way more than just how to use the app. great job

[Webber-]

I can't thank you enough Nick!.
Obsidian has really been a game changer to me.
