Six months ago my Obsidian vault had 2,000 notes and I could not find anything. I rebuilt the entire structure in one afternoon using this exact system. I have not lost a single idea since. The people who set this up today will wonder how they ever worked without it.

Most people start Obsidian the wrong way. They import 10,000 notes. Build 50 folders. Install 20 plugins. Then quit a week later. If I had to restart Obsidian today, I’d do the opposite: • Start with 5 meaningful notes • Create ZERO folders • Ignore plugins completely • Focus only on connecting ideas That’s the real unlock. Obsidian isn’t a notes app. It’s a personal internet for your mind. The magic happens when you use one simple prompt: “This reminds me of…” A quote links to a book. A book links to a song. A song links to a memory. A memory links to an insight. That’s how real thinking compounds. The goal isn’t collecting information. It’s building connections your brain can return to later. AI can summarize notes. But only YOU can create meaningful links between ideas. That’s where the leverage is. Follow @damidefi for more AI alpha.

I have been working on Obsidian Reader for a over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there. Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography. Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

graph is the final boss of memory. a skill graph is a network of skill files connected with wikilinks. one of the most interesting article i’ve read recently

My AI doesn't need a good memory. Because it has world-class retrieval. x.com/NickMilo/status/201800…

Obsidian has officially won the note wars. Everyone seems to be scrambling to install complex protocols, paying for plugins or built-in AI subscriptions—or just switching apps once again—as their current app fails to catch up to the latest AI developments. Meanwhile, over in Obsidian, AI integration looks like this: Point AI at a folder. And you're done. Or, if you're like many reading this, don't integrate AI at all. Either way, with Obsidian, it's your choice. Link to the vid below in the comments 👇

Bro I hate to break it to you

MoltBot shows what agentic AI can really do when software has memory, autonomy, and deep system access. It also exposes a gap most security models weren’t built for. When agents store tokens, configs, and long-term memory as plain text on disk, a compromise doesn’t just expose credentials, it leaks context too. Security for agents can’t be a one-time approval. It’s about continuously mediating it. @jmeller breaks it down ⤵️ bit.ly/4boMvVX

Make a second Obsidian vault just for your personal AI assistant. Thank me later.
