Honestly, my favorite “plugin” is Nick Milo and the team from Linking Your Thinking because you do such an excellent job revealing and explaining Obsidian functionality and helping me think at a meta level.
What are your favorite plugins? Don't overlook the Core plugins just because they are Core!
callout
Excalidraw and callout
“You can’t create something that’s super complex without it starting super simple”
Nick drops the best Obsidian AND life knowledge. Super grateful for your content bro.
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoy the videos.
I am new to Obsidian and watching your videos have been very helpful. Can't believe I'm able to do things that I once thought were complicated. Thank you!
Nick, I truly appreciate your wealth of wisdom. I have been looking for a way to comprise ALLL my thoughts. I finally stumbled upon Obsidian and am glad to of found your channel. Today is day 6 on your LYT Kit tutorial.
Keep up the work homie ✊🏼🙏🏼
The information that you share about Obsidian is impressive, Mr Milo, but besides that your passion for the project you are involved in is infectious. Thankyou.
This is phenomenal. Thank you for the work you've done; this is going to help my productivity immensely.
Unsolicited plug. I have been using Obsidian for about six months and was concerned Obsidian Flight School might be too basic for me, but I took the plunge, bought it, and after the first hour can wholeheartedly say that it was worth the price. It has a lot about the basics but teaches it in ways that I learned new things from the beginning. Thank you so much for putting the course together.
Hey, super happy to hear this. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Amazing! I'm absolutely gonna install some of these! Thanks
Thanks. I can see that a huge amount of work went into this. However I'm very new to Obsidian and quite a few parts went over my head. I agree with what you say about starting simple and learning by experience what features are useful for my way of working. I will probably come back to this video.
Nick, THANK YOU! I cannot tell you how great this video was to understand the plug-ins (Core & Community) and the Functions. Hazah to the Linking Your Thinking Team! 🎉
Really helpful -- opened my eyes to a bunch of plugins I didn't know about or understand. Thank you.
Just stumbled onto Obsidian and really digging into it. Great video.
Kindle Highlights and Reading Time are my two favorite community plugins.
Thank you very much, it helped me alot with my beginning in Obsidian!
Such an amazing and exhaustive video. Thank you bro. You are acing it.
"800 plugins and i've look through them all" cracked me up (in a good way)
I really try to keep my plugins to a minimum, because for me a big part of using Obsidian over other apps is the “future proof” nature of markdown notes. I don’t want to have dozens of plugins that would render my notes practically unreadable if something ever happened to Obsidian. However,
there are still some plugins that I really love that work well without making my notes unreadable in another markdown editor like Notepad.
Sync is my number one favorite plugin. I used iCloud for a few months, and I always had issues with certain files (usually the workspace files) not syncing properly, so when I went on my computer and tried to copy everything to make a backup, I constantly got errors because of those problematic files. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it really became a royal pain after a while. Sync takes all the headache out, it’s one of those things that “just works” and once you set it up, you never have to think about it. I use Obsidian on my phone, PC and iPad, and my wife is signed in on her phone with my account as well so she can access a shared Vault.
I was surprised to see you mention Templates but not the Templater community plugin. I use Templater because it’s just literally a better version of templates. Templater lets you put code in your templates, so for example my Daily Notes template has some code that automatically puts the current date, and links to previous and future dates. That kind of thing is really useful to me for navigating between daily notes easily.
My other favorites are Dataview, Daily Notes, and a lot of the built-in stuff like backlinks and Canvas. One thing I really disagree with, is I can’t stand Live Preview mode, and whenever I make a new Vault the first thing I do is go into settings and turn it off. I just really can’t stand not seeing the code and formatting when I’m working on a note, I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’m ADHD or maybe I’m just a control freak lol. Hearing you talk so highly of it, I might go back and give it another chance, but when I used Live Preview it just really messed with my head having to write in the formatting then the code disappearing when I moved to another line. I’d rather see everything when I’m editing, and use reading view when I’m not.
I think I need to boot up my test vault and try out some of the plugins you mentioned in this video, as well as giving Live Preview another chance. Most of the stuff you’ve shown seems like things that won’t really render notes “not future-proof” like I was concerned about when I first started with Obsidian, more just stuff that helps you work more smoothly.
If Obsidian didn't have nested tags, I would have never ventured from Bear. I use the nested tags heavily for all sorts of things including dates. For example at my job I may have a tag like: job/2022/01/01. That allows me to be able to filter the year, month and down to the day if need be.
I remember Bear having that. They were likely one of the first. I wonder the history
Amazing, thanks!
Nick, this is ranking is so helpful for beginners who want to dive in but may not know where to start. We can just decide how far to watch in the video for our needs 😂 Thanks for all you do!
Happy to hear Alex!
Even before you started with first plugin, I already learned something, that you can pin notes :)
A few of my must-have plugins are: Templater, Tasks, and Advanced URI (I do a lot of stuff with iOS Shortcuts)
Lately I’ve been enjoying Quickadd, Commander, Banners (I'm using Shabegoms random unsplash method to use the note title as search criteria for the picture) and Text Generator for quick and easy OpenAi and GPT-3 generation.
Thank you!
Outliner saved my bacon. I had to reorder 175 notes and although it wasn't completely automatic (I still have to manually tweak some text) - it won't be the nightmare that I originally thought it would be.
The star has been useful for me.
I write a markdown syntax and starred and, when in doubt, in a blink of an eye, I found it.
I believe that, for a list of contacts this would be fine too.
Thanks so much

Hey Nick, in every video I see of you your theme looks different to the the Cybertron one. This might be a question you receive a lot but is there anywhere to get the same theme you have? Or is it an update for cybertron that is not yet public? Thanks!
Theme is LYT Mode, which is Cybertron the Next Generation. 😉
LYT Mode
how does nick have the headers vertical? It's driving me crazy to have them horizontal because then I can't see the header titles when using the 'toggle stacked tabs' function.
I did NOT know you could move sections around in the outliner
Thank you
Are the callouts synced? OR do you have to manually change one by one when you want to add something to a type of callout (BIKE let's say)?
ANother way to reformat numbered lists when they are out-of-order in Editing mode is to just tab one into a nested list (any of them), and untab it back. This will re-order the as listed!
Nice!!!!!
Obsidian has become a stunning application, and all credit to the devs and plugin/theme maintainers. Although, I don’t have it installed anymore (for the time being), I still support Obsidian and pay for my monthly sync. But can you imagine if this was a native app, or if someone did try to make something similar natively, with all the Apple guidelines etc. I would be using it immediately again…
dataview and canvas would be the ones to go deeper into
The Tag Wrangler plugin is essential when a typo adds a screwy tag to your database. lol I think it's hilarious, though, that it ranks so much higher than Tags.
does somebody know how Nick has the metadata properties in the TOP of the note and the inline title is showed just below? Thanksss
dam, that tag wrangler is a conveniencey beast, not gonna lie
Agreed!
Hello, I'm new to obsidian and I'm loving working with it. I have just one question, I've looked and I haven't found a way to password protect a file. Is there any easy way to do this?
Toggl track is a must have
Is there a way I could convert many docx files into markdown-files (all at once)? - So I can use the contents of the docx files in Obsidian.
And can this be done without losing the "bullet-point-structure" that my docx-files currently have?
Thank you for your advise!
Which is the plugin that shifts the sliding pane left and right?
Do you know the name of the plug in used to convert audio to text inside obsidian?
My favorite plugin is either Booksidian or Templater
What is the theme your using?
Some great usage tips. Thanks so much. Phrase suggestion: “So you can make notes at the speed of thought.”
Isn't that phrase what was said (or was it slightly different)?
Thought I heard “thinking at the speed of thought” which is an obvious statement that happens when your thinking gets ahead of your speaking 😊. Don’t recall where it was in the video but it struck me. Sorry if I misheard or it might have been another video of yours that I watched today. By the way, I really like the callout formatting you use: title with subtle color background then text underneath that on standard background in a colored outline. Cybertron is too colorful for my tastes overall though. (We all have our preferences. I’m glad it gives you joy.). Any suggested resource for creating that callout or simplified CSS for Obsidian themes? I’ve done a little programming but not for the web. Thanks again.
You're Awesome man! a capital 'A' Awesome!
36:12 Is there a plugin for bulk changing suffix prefix like Hotkey++?
I think nowadays Obsidian is very good without plugins because they add the open-source (but Obsidian stills closed source), maybe I only add the top 3 (advanced tables, dataview, excalidraw) + obsidian git + mindmap (but the lust update is from 2020).
One thing that Obsidian needs is improve the collaboration with teams, today the best way is using git and some git repository like GItHub, GItLab, Codeberg, etc. And be open-source.
ty
you're welcome
how do I open notes in a new tab?
I am watching this now and Stacked tabs is missing when I search for it. I want to know more about it.
Thanks a lot and much appreciated your valuable videos. Please, if I may ask for something, is it possible to organize all your videos into their associated playlist in your TH-cam channels, so newbies like me can find their way around the channel. Thanks a lot.
I can't get my obsidian to work quick or even open on my phone, which is because to many plugins slowing it. And my phone is my main method of capturing links and first contact with info/events. I just want everything to funnel there automatically from all my in streams and it's really not working
Thank you so much for this incredible content :)
Since you also talk about features, it's a shame you didn't mention file aliases. Easily in my top 10 reasons why I love Obsidian.
Hover view
And re-thought of live preview!
Sync should be free like Notion
mate, you're a poet.
I can´t find the Canvas plugin
Wow! Wish I started this PKM when I was young! Oh yah, it did not exist 😄
I need more help with obsidian mobile app cos this is what I use the most
I have joined a new cult, It is Obsidian. We are Obsidian. Obsidian is Life. Obsidian is Love. Join Us!
You don't know about Quick Switcher ++. You can even switch between Headings with it.
Very aware of it. It's good
@@linkingyourthinking If you do this next year maybe it will take the normal one for the same spot.
One die. Five dice.
Thank you Justin Trudeau I will try these plugins
Justin Trudeau! 😂
Hard to take this guy seriously when he's using a Mac.
The theme looks so cool! Can I have the name?
Is there a way to get Obsidian to do traditional outline numbering? Like:I.B.3.c.
Ordered list numbering is better than bullets, but still crappy.
