Guidance on organization approach

from what i’m reading, you have what it takes to organize your vault properly, dear watson

  • no penalties, really
    • you can search for stress test on the forum
    • search for 10000 files, for a limit to do with quick switcher algorithm
      • these are not really dealbreakers in any case…
  • many people use obsidian for research so they use 4-5 types of files so using more smaller files would be helpful to pinpoint which stage the information is at or coming from
  • generally, smaller md files with transcluded content – adding auxiliary detail to a master file at a heading – would be better than really long files
    • that would mean sticking to obsidian syntax – ![[filename#heading]] or ![[filename#^block]] – but don’t worry about future-proofing…you can use obsidian forever, provided the third party plugins are level with the last core app
      • in the event you’d want to migrate your files, the syntax is usually easy to transform with regex replacements
    • but handling sheets of live-preview rendered markdown are constantly upgraded by the team so the app can handle long files on mobile as well
      • they also re-added support for markdown files over the size of 2MBs lately
