Need help creating my knowledge base

Hi!

Which plugins should I use—and how do I configure them—to get the following?

- Flexible organization using “binders,” folders, notes, or pages

- Ability to add images or short videos as page thumbnails

- A gallery view option [without the page text appearing on the thumbnail]

- Easy navigation and daily usability

- Easily accessible basic word-processing features while writing

It seems you are new to Obsidian. If that’s the case, I suggest you to use no Community plugins at all. First develop that knowledge, then, with time, once you find a limitation or discover a need, start thinking of turning it into a base with the help of plugins. Focus on the work first.

If you are not new, I think the following are enough to cover what you mentioned:

  1. Core plugin “Files”, or the Community plugin “Notebook Navigator”
  2. Core plugin “Bases”
  3. Core plugin “Word count”
