It would be awesome if when writing in a bullet list, it had leading lines to a hierarchy, like in roam, or if there was a plugin called bullet list mode or something, where you can just pour your thoughts and don’t care about making it pretty.

I guess that’s true, but it would be really cool anyway :grin:

No, I don’t agree with you. I think use the foldable title is enough. Don’t always compare with roam research. Obsidian is an app for taking notes, not a tool for writing outline.

As the whole point is that they’re building a highly extendable note taking system I don’t think it’s reasonable to declare what is and isn’t enough for somebody and their own needs and note taking workflow. I agree with the other commenters in that I don’t think it will be a priority for the core …

[image] kingname: Don’t always compare with roam research. I think this is a key observation if coming to Obsidian from Roam – while there are many similar features, Obsidian has a unique approach. Instead of trying to fit Roam into it, it’s probably better figure out how to do what you want …

@ktkthakre , today I had to do a lot out outlining and had to use Dynalist and then copy-paste everything to Obsidian to continue writing article. Definitely a must feature along with a way to reference specific paragraphs of text, not just headings (yes, guys, like in Roam). More flexibility = mor…

[image] justindirose: it’s probably better figure out how to do what you want within the software’s constraints I second this. I was using Notion before and had pretty fun setup involving a lot of relational tables and after trying Obsidian I’ve come to realise that I really didn’t need all o…

[image] mori: this. I was using Notion before and had pretty fun setup involving a lot of relational tables and after trying Obsidian I’ve come to realise that I really didn’t need all of this. Please, tell me more! The Notion tables are the only thing keeping me there. Would you mind sharing…

A “must feature” for you, not necessarily for everyone else. In other words, not a “must” but a “nice-to-have” feature.

FWIW, a few years ago I used OneNote, and 1 thing I started using heavily were tables, incl. tables within tables. Man, I loved them, and I was so proud of myself to have found all sorts of uses. Then, for a number of reasons, I decided to leave OneNote, and therefore had to take my notes with me. …

Notion tables are much like Excel tables with some database functionality. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9S5I3pWz94&t=685s Doesn’t look like anything like this is gonna be possible in Obsidian in the near term.

Bullet list everything
