If you'd like to see Obsidian Projects support a new view other than the four mentioned, reach out to the developer of that view (for example, Kanban), as they will need to make some changes to make their plugin compatible with Projects. THEMES USED: Minimal (dark) and Minimal (light). PLUGINS mentioned: Projects, Kanban, Fantasy Calendar, Database Folder.
Hi Nicole. I am new to this, and I am able to follow aong till 08:52, but then you change the values directly from the columns, and that's not happening in my version. I have to double click the field and edit it like normal text. Is that something up with the plugin, or is it just me?
@@nicolevdh You deserve kindness. Positive comments of praise are easy. It takes a thinking pause to write a positive critique lest is comes over as harsh.
This is a great start to a must-have plug-in. It's not quite there for me yet because I have those other plugins working just fine, and I want some functionality like more drag and drop, but I think very very quickly it will be a truly amazing plugin. Hopefully other plugin developers will all get on board making project management easier for everyone.
You nailed it! Once others integrate with it, it's going to be fantastic! Database Folder looks like it will be the first to integrate with it, which should be fantastic.
I have devoured your Obsidian content, which has changed my daily life, so thank you so much for making this a passion project. I don't want to come off as someone who can't wait to correct mispronunciations. Lord knows I mispronounce words all the time, and I'm always super grateful when people take the time to let me know the right way to say it. Maybe someone already helped you out; I don't know; I didn't read any of the comments. Kanban is pronounced like the word "on," so it rhymes with Bonbon. Again, thank you for all your super helpful content! I appreciate you and all your hard work!
It's always interesting to hear the original pronunciation of a word but it's not really needed when you are speaking. I am Swedish myself, and if I were to pronounce IKEA i would pronounce it "i·kee·ah", but when I'm speaking English I would pronounce it in the English way, "eye·key·ah". Just like how Mexicans say Mexico as "meh·he·koh" instead of the American mek·suh·kow. This is just much easier way as it doesn't distrupt the flow of your speech. And even when it doesn't, it can come off as a bit pretentious if you insist to do proper pronounciation on many things, like saying "bar·the·lona" or "pari".
Is there a way to import tables of information from Notion to create a calendar? Or can you export calendar view tables directly from Notion to Obsidian?
Loving your videos. Very informative. I haven't checked out this Plugin yet but I watched your video with the creator. My initial thought is what if you have a file that is shared between multiple projects, you can't have it inside a project folder. Maybe there's a solution to this already. I saw something about Subfolders. As a Notion user as well, this plugin looks promising
Just what I was looking for. Thank you! However, I have noticed most of the project plugins are based on buttet points, not in the the long note-taking research format such as script writing etc... Would love to see this as well.
Not sure what you mean by "unlike plugins like database folder this project view is across all projects". If you have your database file in the root folder it will look at every file. You could use a dataview query to pick tags, or just use a filter to show only projects or any other attribute added to a file. I like the projects plugin but the functionality is lacking at the moment. It will be exciting to see how this evolves!
I meant just that-- the project screen that I was showing displays all projects everywhere, selectable from the dropdown menu from the same screen. In Projects, there is no "database file" that is tied to a folder. By contrast, Database Folder creates a file per folder that saves settings for that folder alone. It's a difference in implementation. I think what you perceive as a lack of functionality is precisely the strength of Projects. Projects is more of a framework for linking views together-- it's not meant to supply the views by itself. The views that exist were added primarily to showcase the possibilities of this approach, not to be end products in themselves, so critiquing their functionality is moot.
@@nicolevdh ah so where dbfolder are files you can query, star and refine like other files, the projects are stored somewhere in the plugin. I assume you can quick access those projects in some way? The lack of dragging and dropping in the views in my mind is functionality, other examples like column type (relation, rollup, formula, date time etc) also in my mind are functionality. To me, without those features, the views are more visual than functional. I am not sure how useful a visual is without functionality so could you elaborate how my critique is moot?
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, you can access the different projects in the projects screen and switch between them there. The issue is that the whole point of the plugin is not the views at all. You refer to Projects as a visual, when that's not what it is. It was created to be a layer that *facilitates* the creation of views. It's like an API endpoint, not the application. The views are an afterthought. Judging it based on the views is like judging a new programming language before anyone's had a chance to use it to build things. Projects is a framework, so it should be judged as a framework. This is why Marcus said in the livestream that this was his way to avoid creating views himself. This is also why plugins like Database Folder will work WITH Projects, not be a competitor. Projects needs plugins like DB Folder, Kanban, etc., to be useful-- that's what it was built to do.
@@nicolevdh Yeah that is what I thought. The DBFolder integration is what I am using. The projects table view, as you state, is an afterthought. I think my interpretation was thrown off by your narrative around using 'projects' for the content calendar. My mind went to look at projects as a plugin, which as you say is true but it is more of a framework. How we explain that to people I am not sure. My interest is what other plugins will embrace this, we will see 👀
I do already use Projects for my content calendar. I prefer to be able to use the same data for different views than to use three disparate plugins. Even as a bare framework it's already useful for me, but I also expect it to improve as other developers integrate with it. Different strokes for different folks!
Great video Nicole! I have a question about project organisation. If you'd have various types of public content (TH-cam videos, podcasts, articles, etc) and also various types of private and clients content (family/friends photos to develop, audio/video/photo work for clients) how would you organize them? Would it be project per type of content (videos project, podcasts project, articles project) or just a single project? Would you separate personal/work/public content stuff into separate projects? Again, per content type or just something like "public stuff", "personal stuff", "clients content"? I will so much appreciate the answer on this topic from you because I've stuck with this for a plenty of time.
Hi is that possible to make a certain page with a certain tag has bigger font, with custom css or any thing maybe? I have some Arabic text which seems smaller than usual text.
For select list when you creating video template, could be well if you do the keys to [0,1,2,3]. And the projects plugin is so good. Notion had this, now obsidian too.
Good idea! I may just do that. :) Thanks! Yeah, I really missed this from Notion and I'm excited it's come to Obsidian too!

Great video, like always. I want to ask you 2 things Nicole: Metadata that is not in the YAML does not work for me (especially I am going to talk about the table, which is what matters the most to me and would be used the most). That is, they appear in the table as text metadata, whatever their content, but it does not return any value in said table Is there a way at least in the YAML to put a value, like "status", with the content of one or more tags, like "#ToDo, #Completed, etc." And that the Projects table shows you not only what is written but also in label format? (To be able to see all the notes with said label and, by the way, make them appear beautiful, because with css you can put the name of a specific label of the color you want)
Hi! Have you tried reaching out to the developer, Marcus Olsson? You can raise an issue on the GitHub repo for Projects or find him on the Obsidian Discord as well: @marcusolsson. He's the best person to talk to about Project-related issues/questions. :)
Trying this out on a fairly fresh install of obsidian and seeing some discrepancies from what is in the video. Wondering if I don't have something installed to support this that may not be mentioned. For example Templater does not have the option for "Enable Folder Templates". Currently I only have Projects and Templater installed on this instance. Do I need something else that would extend Templater config options, or did Templater change in the day or so since this upload? I am also having issue with Projects Kanban view picking up the status field to map to, but it is late, and that may be on me.
Hi! I just confirmed on a fresh vault myself, and I can still see those options. Are you sure you're looking at TemplateR, the community plugin, not TemplateS, the core plugin? It's really easy to confuse the two! Re: the Board view in Projects, did you select the status parameter from the dropdown menu, so it knows which parameter it should use?
@@nicolevdh Weird. Yeah, I am definitely in the Templater options under the Community Plugins Section. In your video the options go from Template Hotkeys to Folder Templates.

@@Digital_Kyle Hi, in the Templater plugin you need to set the "Trigger Templater on new file creation" to true for the "Enable Folder Templates" options to show. At least that is what happened on my one, hope it helps you. 🤞🤞
First of all: thank you, Nicole, you're great; I'm literally learning Obsidian from your videos. About this plugin: my Calendar view splits the screen in two, where the calendar is on the left, and the right side is empty. Do you know why? I followed precisely your steps (maybe is something about a calendar plugin that I don't have?
Hey awesome content! If you want to shorten that templater suggester syntax you could use "` t, ["Value1", "Value2"]) %>" the first parameter being a function that just returns that string from the item list (second parameter)
No, actually, it's even better-- Rafael, the developer of DB Folder, is working WITH Marcus, the developer of Projects, to bring a "DB Folder view" as one of the views in Projects.
I had had the same issue. But when I opened one page from the Demo project folder and then I changed the text in metadata in my page to "due: 2023-03-01", the project started to see the column as date format. Then I changed "due" to "date" and then to other words in my native language and the format has been still date. I hope that it'll work for you as well :)
Thank you for this! Exactly what I was needing. I do have a question though, (which might be more for the developer). Is there a particular date format required? I have multiple dates in my front matter for projects. i.e. due, next_review, etc. I'm using the standard YYYY-MM-DD format for my dates. It seems to view these as text rather than dates which leads me to believe that it's looking for the "date" tag specifically.
Hi! YYYY-MM-DD is fine, but make sure you are selecting the right field-- it recognizes `date` by default, so if yours is called something else, you'll need to select it from the dropdown menu in the upper right so that it knows which field to use as the date.
@@nicolevdh Hey Nicole I have the problem I can't select anything there. In this field there stands the word None. What can I do to solve my problem? Thanks for your videos they are great have a nice time :)
Hmmm, not sure.. if you have the parameter in there, it should see it. I don't do anything else to get it to show up. If you're still having issues, maybe you should contact the developer, Marcus Olsson! He will for sure help you out. :)
Hello Nicole. Thank you for your video. As I'm less experienced than you in Obsidian, I'd like to know how Projects compares to Database Folder? Are the two "competitors" as they seem to fulfill the same objectives ?
Hey! They're not competitors at all. DB folder displays information, and Projects provides a framework for plugins that display information. The two developers are working together to integrate their plugins, so that we can have a Database Folder in Projects.
Hey! Not entirely sure what you mean. Are you talking about this video, or something IN this video? Could you give me a timestamp so I know what you're looking at?
I like the concept of the Obsidian Projects plug-in but I'm sure even you should admit it having some big drawbacks. Only the other week you were talking about non-compartmentalizing files by avoiding the folders route (unless really necessary) and suddenly, we find ourselves running projects in specific folders...suddenly making it really necessary - but in this case, only to use the plug-in. "Verward!!!!"
Sure, it definitely has some drawbacks. I can name those for pretty much every plugin, and community plugins are made by people for free. :) It would be a tall order to find a free plugin that doesn't have drawbacks. However, folders are not one of them. They are not at all necessary for Projects, which is why I like the approach better than that of Database Folder. Projects CAN use folders, but it can also use pretty much any Dataview query, so it can bring together files from any folder. I actually demonstrate this in my livestream with Marcus. Here's the timestamp for it: pulse.ly/sp9eca0sam
I really appreciate every content I found on your channel, but please, stop give me better workflow ideas with every new video, cause I've changed mine five times in a week. This one seems to be the better until now, and solve lot of imperfections. ... No, seriously, thank you for your work!
Hi! You might not be setting the right parameter as the status. I go over how to do this step by step in the video, so it may be good to watch it and pause it at certain steps so that you can follow along exactly!

Sure, it definitely has some drawbacks. I can name those for pretty much every plugin, and community plugins are made by people for free. :) It would be a tall order to find a free plugin that doesn't have drawbacks.
However, folders are not one of them. They are not at all necessary for Projects, which is why I like the approach better than that of Database Folder. Projects CAN use folders, but it can also use pretty much any Dataview query, so it can bring together files from any folder. I actually demonstrate this in my livestream with Marcus. Here's the timestamp for it: pulse.ly/sp9eca0sam
I really appreciate every content I found on your channel, but please, stop give me better workflow ideas with every new video, cause I've changed mine five times in a week. This one seems to be the better until now, and solve lot of imperfections.
... No, seriously, thank you for your work!
I can't open notes in board view can somebody help me?
Hi! You might not be setting the right parameter as the status. I go over how to do this step by step in the video, so it may be good to watch it and pause it at certain steps so that you can follow along exactly!
Seems like it pretty much just does what it did 8 months ago? Which is fine...not sure I need anything else...
Tried out the plugin but found it to be buggy.
That's too bad! I encourage you to reach out to Marcus on GitHub-- he's pretty responsive.
Oooohhhhhhh...
I don't understand anything. That's why I keep Notion for my business and Obsidia for my creative projects.
Är du svensk?? :)
Nej! Men jag lara mig svenska. :) Och utvecklaren, Marcus Olsson, är svensk.
