In #Obsidian 1.11 you can switch sidebar views in one gesture if you continue to hold down, then let go on the view you want to switch to.
I used #Obsidian 1.11 exclusively on mobile for three weeks while traveling all across China during the winter break.
We made this version of Obsidian so much faster, smoother, and more ergonomic. And there's lots more coming in 1.12.

@kepano I’m exploring using #ClaudeCode with #Obsidian and just found your CC Skills.
Have you shared your own CC+Obisidan use somewhere?
I had no idea #Obsidian was not open-source
Fedi hive minds, please brainstorm with me.
I am looking into migrating to Obsidian MD from my existing notetaking app.
How do you utilise its overwhelming list of functions? How do you make it suits your purpose?

Obsidian plugins reached 100 million total downloads!
2026 will be a big year for #Obsidian plugins. The plan is to make plugins easier to discover, safer to use, simpler to build, and faster to approve.
Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes
Join the workshop at #39C3!
NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.
Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?
This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.
- What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
- Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?
These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.
Some further, more specific, insights and questions:
- Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
- Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
- What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
- The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

What do I mean when I say everything in #Obsidian should feel instantaneous?
No more than 0.1 seconds.
The target was established in 1968 by Robert Miller and well described in 1993 by Jakob Nielsen here:

Sure, I *could* clean up my messy real physical office.
Or just fiddle around with #Obsidian for a few days and call it "tidying up my planning and knowledge management tooling".
Obsidian 1.11.0 (early access) introduces widgets and a new mobile design.
You can now instantly access #Obsidian from your lock screen, home screen, control center, Shortcuts, and Siri.
The new design gives more space to your notes, and helps you quickly navigate your vault.
what's one improvement you'd like to see in #obsidian in 2026?
what's one improvement you'd like to see in #obsidian in 2026?
@kepano Make the rendered markdown views in search results that the Query Control BRAT plugin enables a standard option, please.
Also, a widget to allow for surfacing random notes based on tag or query. Bear Notes App supports this and it's absolutely ace for resurfacing content.
And thanks for all the fish this year! You guys rock.
