very cool, Thank you!!

Finally someone with an adequate level of drama about notetaking

this intro is A1+

That was the greatest intro ever

this video is so dramatic lmaoooo

I'm a beginner to Obsidian so it took me a minute to figure out you have to switch to read mode to get the table to actually materialize

astrology? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Thank you so much for putting this together. By far the best video I've watched on how to use Obsidian as a newcomer. All of the others I've watched have left me extremely confused and feeling like I was missing something. I will be coming back to reference all of this great information as I slowly learn each piece you've talked about here. Amazing video! Again, thank you! I finally feel like I have a solid place to start.

Awesome and informative vid.

Do an updated video bro so many new plugins!

This is one of the best (and funniest!) videos on Obsidian out there.

Hi ! I am particularly interested in the annotator plugin. However, I have a problem when I follow the steps of the video. When I do the "Annotator: toggle annotation,..." it doesn't open the pdf. It just displays NO *annotation-target* property present in frontmatter. I don't know how to solve this problem. I reeealy liked the video. Thank you 2 years later :)

I came here to watch video about Obsidian but ended up leaving with cat perch/tree ideas instead

Great!

hey! i love this video, but if you install the Omnisearch plugin you can also search for everything!

awesome video, but music during the tutorial was unnecessary and a bit distracting

Finally someone who didn’t make it even more confusing

I didn't realize it, but obsidian's icon color was my favorite color all along. And I didn't know about ___ delimiter. It was such a surprise for me. I have to know about MD more, this is a conclusion after this video for me. Thx for the video <3

That into was enough to make a homie go all in with Obsidian

Thank you.

You're an absolute legend mate! Thanks for this video. It has everything I didn't find but desperately needed for my upcoming med studies. Wish you all the best!

Astronomy, not astrology.

I don't like the inconsistent formatting of images in Obsidian, like @31:28 you can see that the image at the top appear next to the bullet list, bu the image at the bottom appears below the bullet list.

He is between 10 and 30 lmao

You know what? I always geek out about Obsidian to my friends, and now that I think about it, the intro is exactly how I picture it😂 It's just perfect!

great video! thank you

Damn this is really damn good . Keep making videos

Hey Brad, great video! How do you have only one file open at a time, no tabs, with this nice orange line under the note's title?

mathpix is no more :(

The advanced table plugin just doesn't seem to work at all in my Obsidian. 😞

Why does everyone that uses obsidian videos have that little circle for webcam

Thank you sir 😊

Brad you are GOATED thank you so much for making this video

Thank you so much for this video

Bruh the intro had me head banging 😂

Was useful

I've never watched an intro so cinematic.

useful video

You seem like you are talking to yourself most of the time! You should know that a lot of us are not very versatile with the Obsidian and you need to talk slow.

12:03

Brad, what video/audio editing software do you use to create these excellent videos? Ty, David

ASTRONOMY, not astrology. Astrology is all the horoscope and energies bs.

What a beau video, hollywood level intro 🚀🚀 On a side note, you know astrology isnt astronomy right? 🙈

Calling notion terrible is makes wanna dislike the whole video lol😂

Brad, good intro

Great intro :)))

good job and thanks !

I'm just starting out in the world of note-taking apps, but after that 1-minute Intro, I'll name my first child "Obsidian the Mighty, Heir to Thunder and Maker of Nations."

As someone studying Astrophysics, you calling Astronomy Astrology is not only offensive but sacrilegious haha😂
