# Thor's Obsidian Vault

![](https://img.shields.io/badge/made_by_cryptograthor-black?style=flat&logo=undertale&logoColor=hotpink)



This vault aims to be two things:

- the best possible resource you will find anywhere on using and setting up Obsidian (parts 1 and 2)

- an evolving document of my personal experiments with plugins and workflows (parts 2 and 3)



The [Getting Started configuration guide](https://github.com/thor314/obsidian-setup/blob/main/Getting%20Started%20with%20Obsidian.md) gives instructions for:

- getting started with Obsidian, some guidance on setting up a vault, and highlights couple useful settings

- getting going with a couple different workflows

- an opinionated take on about 100 plugins and how to use them for your workflows



The post is aimed at a wide audience; if you use Obsidian or would like to, this post aims help you make the most of it.



In particular, I discuss how to use Obsidian for:

- journaling

- note taking

- project and task management

- self-organization

- general writing 

- meme foldering



To get started, clone this repository as a starter template repository for your own uses. The repo contains an `.obsidian` and `.obsidian.vimrc` configuration with the settings and plugins I use, and the *Getting Started with Obsidian* post. 



If you'd prefer to follow along by manually setting up your vault, I recommend copying the [raw markdown of the post](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thor314/obsidian-setup/main/Getting%20Started%20with%20Obsidian.md) into a note in your vault in Reading View. 



### An aside on the security of installing plugins

Plugins are great, and I will recommend many of them. They're also a security risk. I weakly claim that none of the

community plugins I install or recommend are out to pwn your system, but I could be wrong. To my knowledge, the Obsidian

developers do audit community plugins for security concerns, but they could miss something. Consider being cautious of

newer plugins with fewer installs.



### Changelog

Roughly bi-annual updates to this vault since end of 2022.

- 2024-08-09 - added a short section with a few recommended hotkeys

- 2023-12-22 - tweet got some attention so did one more light editing pass, cleaned preamble.sty. Worked through part 3. Synced keybinds with my main vault. Added the meme-folder workflow. 

- 2023-12-21 - rewrote a good portion of parts 1 and 2, made workflow descriptions clearer, update vimrc

- 2023-05-31 - how was I this bad at writing...added a few plugins, gcal, hotkey helper, latex preamble

- 2022-11-17 - first draft finished



### Todo: 

- meme folder-db aside out of part 3 into own section in part 2

- investigate text-generator and other possible AI workflows, haven't found much use for these yet

  - quickadd added an option for AI workflows also

- I haven't looked at the most popular plugins in awhile

- I natter a lot about not using/liking dynamic or web-api based content, I could add an aside about that in part one



eventually get around to giving these plugins another shot:

- projects

- dataview

- linter

- leader hotkeys

- Math booster?
