The goal for the season was removing friction from my workflow
The Results (Reflecting)
When I have an idea or get a new task, I switch to the Obsidian window and either (pull down and press fl<Enter> on mobile) or (press ctrl-n on the desktop) to create a fleeting note. That brings up an input box, I type whatever needed to be saved and hit enter. The new note does not get opened. If Obsidian isn't available, I send a message to my telegram bot, the result is the same.
Almost every day starts with ctrl-shift-f to review the fleeting notes. There are too many now to keep track of, so I'm using the spaced repetition plugin (@tris recommended it in this video). Eventually some fleeting notes get converted to project, area, or resource notes, others get deleted.
The next part is observability. When I'm working on a project with a team (sea and uni projects, for example), I can add post: [[snlx.net]] or uuid: ... to the frontmatter of a note, then press ctrl-shift-p to push. The post property makes the note public, adding it to this github repo (using the gh API so that it works on mobile). The page you're on right now is an example of a note like that.
uuids are used for secret notes. These are pushed to my server (api.snlx.net), and then can be shared like https://snlx.net/secret-note-name?invite=uuid. The UUID gets saved on the client so they don't have to enter it every time, and they also have access to all secret notes that have forward link or backlinks leading to the one I sent them.
I use the pomodoro technique, so I thought I may as well make the timers visible too. The now page shows the timer and a link to the project I'm working on.
Projects
- mk-api, gives me a simple base system to build projects on
- mk-bridge, gets the notes from obsidian, builds the HTML and publishes the website
- mk-secret, allows having secret notes on this very site
- mk-status, shows what I'm currently up to on the site (see now)
- tg-bot, my note inbox & status updater
- pocket-kb-hw, the hardware for my artsey keyboard
- plotter-gcode, an experiment at generating gcode with Typst. The document may have changed by now.
