I’m excited to share a new plugin I’ve been working on for Obsidian. It’s called Journaling and it’s designed to improve the way you navigate your daily notes by transforming them into a continuous journal-like view. Inspired by Logseq, this plugin makes it easier to flip through your daily entries, review past notes, and reflect on your progress.
Key Features:
Journaling View: Browse through your daily notes seamlessly, just like flipping through a journal.
Customizable Date Formats: Easily adjust the plugin to match your preferred date format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, MM-DD-YYYY).
Multiple Paths Support: Manage and view daily notes across multiple directories.
Sorting and Filtering by Date: Organize your notes by newest or oldest first, depending on your preference.
Automatic Updates: The plugin will refresh your journaling view at configurable intervals to ensure it reflects the latest changes in your notes.
I’m also planning to add more features soon to make it even more powerful!
Feel free to give it a try and let me know your thoughts! Your feedback is always appreciated, and if you find it helpful, don’t forget to leave a star on GitHub.
not a logseq user or daily note taker, but i thought I’d take the time to come here and say i applaud efforts of the community to share – what could potentially have been just a plugin you use for yourself…
I can’t figure out how to use this plugin. I believe I have it configured correctly, but can’t find out how to have my daily notes scroll one right after the other, like in Logseq.
Do I just open today’s note and scroll down to see previous days?
Or is there another file called Journal that is compilation of all of my thousands of notes? (after a search in my folders, I cannot find a similarly named file).
Here is my current config:
Date Format: YYYY_MM_DD
Journal File Name: Journal.md
Include Paths: journals
Filter By: New->Old
Update Interval: 15
Not sure what I did, but I went to configuration and thought I retyped everything the same again, and now it’s working. To answer my own questions (for future searchers):
Do I just open today’s note and scroll down to see previous days?
No, it creates a new file (whatever you named it in the configuration). This file will reside in the Journals folder (or wherever you keep your journals).
Or is there another file called Journal that is compilation of all of my thousands of notes?
As mentioned, the new file is a compilation of all prior notes. Actually it is a list of links for each day, rather than the text themselves (which is the better way to do that).
Kinda nice, for those that used to use Logseq or just like scrolling up and down the days.
