For those of you who read lots of papers or non-fiction that you need to reference again, how do you manage all of that data and relate it to other things?

I’ve been using #zotero and #obsidian to make a sort of knowledge management #wiki, but organizing the data from highlights takes considerable brain power. I’m sure this is just the way it’s gotta work, but I’d love any tips! I’d especially like tips on when to start refactoring or how to best organize things.

Do any personal #wiki folks have suggestions for organizing complex subjects and ideas without things getting lost? I have a lot of topics that feed into and off of one another. I use #obsidian if that makes a difference.

Markdown support is coming to #LibreOffice! And a new dialog to edit table styles, Python and BASIC code auto-completion, Rust UNO language bindings, and more - all thanks to participants in the Google Summer of Code: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10/22/libreoffice-and-google-summer-of-code-2025-the-results/ #foss #OpenSource

LibreOffice and Google Summer of Code 2025: The results - The Document Foundation Blog

This year, LibreOffice was once again a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), a global program focused on bringing more developers into free and open source software development. Seven projects were finished successfully. Contributors and mentors enjoyed the time, and here we present some of the achievements, which should make their way […]

@libreoffice exciting, this will make it easier for me to export book projects from #obsidian for editing/typesetting in LibreOffice Writer :)

"Wartungsarbeiten im #Obsidian Vault": ein Praxisbeispiel von Thomas Mathoi: https://www.mathoi.at/2025/10/15/wartungsarbeiten-im-obsidian-vault/

THOMAS MATHOI

Wartungsarbeiten im Obsidian Vault - THOMAS MATHOI

Je mehr man mit Obsidian arbeitet, umso größer wird die Datensammlung. Daher ist es von Zeit zu Zeit sinnvoll, gewisse Pflege- und Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen, um die Datenstruktur und die Dateien selbst in einem guten und gepflegten Zustand und den eigenen Vault sauber, leicht und ordentlich zu halten. Das hat nicht nur Auswirkungen auf den Speicherverbrauch und die Performance von Obsidian selbst, sondern führt auch dazu, dass man Notizen rascher wiederfindet, wenn man danach sucht.

With bases, #Obsidian has really reached a new level. I'm kind of going all-in on it for a personal project: https://help.obsidian.md/bases

I really wish I had started using #Zotero and #obsidian together years ago. So much information lost to the dark corners of my brain.

I've been using #obsidian for a few months now as a sort of personal wikipedia and I'm really liking it. Before this I was taking handwritten notes in Notability and then GoodNotes, but I would miss where topics overlapped because the nature of handwriting is that it lives in one place only.

I fed my entire Obsidian vault (500+ notes) to an AI. It analyzed my knowledge system and spotted things I never knew were there. 🤯

Allez, je suis d’humeur masochiste. Vous avez un tutoriel, de préférence en français, pour que je découvre Obsidian ? J’ai envie de me faire mal en (re)essayant de m’organiser dans mon taff ou ma vie 😅
