Connecting visual notes isn't as easy as connecting textual notes. Yet those connections are an essential part of taking notes that actually help you learn or remember things. In this video, I talk about ways to connect Excalidraw drawings and hybrid notes.

Zsolt and I are planning to do a livestream on Excalidraw. What should we talk about? Any questions you want us to focus on? Leave them here so we know what you want to hear about! PLUGINS: Obsidian Excalidraw, ExcaliBrain, Hover Editor THEME: (Patreon) AnuPpuccin, (personal) Vanilla AMOLED

@smiththewright Месяц назад

Oh, how interesting with a livestream! How about sharing the books that inspired you, what got you into PKM (was it uni overload?), and how your methods have helped at work? Does Zsolt have any long-term plans for the plugins?

After watching this videos yesterday, I began playing around with this & found that the copy link command (for group, area, & frame) doesn't work well when you go the .svg route. Am I doing something wrong or is that not an option right now? Thank you both for the great content!

@AndresMartinez-ww1qz Месяц назад

I decided to read closely & noticed that in the command itself it says "markdown" so I'm guessing I'm actually not doing anything wrong. The question is then, is there an option to do what I'm trying to do at all?

- How to get the best from AI to diagram option, I'm converting many notes into diagrams, such a cool way of watching my ideas displayed in a fast and customizable way! - A review on the best plugins or scripts for Excalidraw, there are so many! - How to classify each.svg or excalidraw file with metadata.

Thank you. Loving your coverage of Excalidraw and Excalibrain AND your collaboration with my man, Zsolt. You compliment each other very well. Layers of understanding and different angles of explanation...Zsolt and you have covered most of this before, but this video might be the tastiest yet.

So awesome. 🙏 I switch from MS Windows to Linux and used MS Onenote a lot and was searching for a Linux alternative and found your videos on Obsidian. You even cover such topics like on this video, a feature I was looking for a long time. Now I just have to train to think in Obsidian.😂 Thank you for your good explanations. 🙏

This really is a game changer! I have been using Obsidian Excalidraw awhile but learned a lot from this video, thanks!

@nicolevdh Месяц назад

Great to hear that!! I really love the image block reference idea too. So many cool ways to use it!

@PavelAnatolich Месяц назад

Wow! Very cool and useful video for me! Thank you and Zlot for this. I saw very big potential with these plugins, but I can't to combine it for real work. I think I can use it after your video. If you use ExcalliBrain, tell about your workflow more. Especially in combination between markdown-excallidraw-excallibrain. I have pop-up excallibrain window on different monitor, but it worked for text notes only. Now I see how I'll use it with visual notes. Excallidraw logic and architecture may be difficult for understanding. Zlot's videos more technical, your - practical. I happy about your collaboration with him. 🎉

Yay! Yes, Excalidraw and ExcaliBrain are really feature rich, but that means that they can be difficult to use if you don't know them all. I feel like I'm constantly learning new use cases for them. Thanks for the comment on ExcaliBrain... I'll definitely earmark that for future videos!

@AndresMartinez-ww1qz Месяц назад

video came up at the perfect time. I have recently started using excalidraw after knowing about it for a long time & I was wondering about the futureproof aspect of it all. good to get rid of that anxiety!

@nicolevdh Месяц назад

Oh, I'm glad I addressed that, then! I was worried about it too, but using images should definitely make it more future proof.

@AndresMartinez-ww1qz Месяц назад

@@nicolevdh Definitely! I'm only facing one issue when using .svg, but since you mentioned you'll be doing a stream w. Zsolt I left the question over at your pinned comment. Just wanted to mention for a sec that throughout the years I have learnt a lot about Obsidian thanks to you, so thank you!

@tonyatlas5653 Месяц назад

Thank you! I so loved your explanation and the whole idea of flipping the card in general. The only thing that confuses me is that there is a lot of code at the end of the note. Even when I make a very simple scheme of a couple of arrows and other shapes, the note gets 20-30 thousand characters more. Yes, you can hide them with "%%", but still you can see by side scrolling how big the note has become. Because of this, even small notes, which should be literally 300-500 characters, grow up to ten's of thousand characters due to Excalidraw's schema markup. Perhaps someday it will be possible to reduce this amount of markup code. I would very much like to incorporate this approach into my work, but I can't put up with so much code at the end of notes, even in small notes....

@AstroTube2 Месяц назад

I agree with you! Furthermore, by enabling SVG export, another file .svg with the same name is created in the note folder. This creates too much confusion in the folder.
