@akaalias, thanks for the info. Plug-in is now working for me. Having ‘played’ around with it I have two (2) observations/requests-
Is there a way to NOT blacken the background behind the Plug-in screen or to have a UI slider to minimize the intensity. I’d like to be able to read the File info ribbon on the left or the Tag ribbon when I have it available on the right.
And, I’m not sure of the relevance of the different colors used in the result window, but on my monitor screen (not like the png capture), its nearly impossible to read the results. Again, as in #1 above, maybe a slider to reduce the color intensity or selection of no color (if there is no relevence) for the search results.
Hey there! Great questions – I hope I can help with some of it.
As of now, there’s no way for me to change the background opacity (The modal you see comes from Obsidian)
Good to know! Until I figure out theme-support, try the “High-Contrast” feature that can be turned on in the plugin settings. That should be white text on black background.
I am a beginner with Obsidian but also a professional homeopath (healer using energy medicine) and as a beginner I am fearful that notes will get lost in my chaotic linking. Also, worrying that my objectives will get lost in the clutter of trying to get organized. I am describing analytical methods in homeopathy and also looking for thematic mind/body connections between descriptions of homeopathic energy medicines (remedies).
Journey looks like it might ease my anxiety about link chaos.
As a power user I want the Find Journey modal to function like the Obsidian wiki link search So that I can avoid context-switching between search modes And I can focus on finding the links between my notes instead of wrestling with a dialog box.
As a power user I want the Find Journey modal to show more than a handful of wiki link search results So that I can use the plugin the same way I use the native Obsidian search.
Some examples…
I have several notes on Luhmann, but the modal appears restricted to only show 5 notes, 4 of which are source/reference notes with the names truncated due to space:
This IMO is the ideal format because it moves the paths to subtle text below the actual note name, making visual scanning much easier.
This may in fact be something best implemented as a hook in the Obsidian plugin API, allowing the execution of a search like this with the results returned to the caller which could be any arbitrary plugin, allowing plugins to implement searching using the Obsidian native capabilities rather than reinventing the wheel. I’ll submit a feature request for that as well.
Thank you for your reply. I am happy to communicate with anyone who is clear about their message. I decided that I should not have mentioned what I am really doing. I understood that you were asking why I wanted to use your plugin, but I guess that is not true.
I am sorry to hear that your friend’s father died of COVID. The death toll is so much higher than the epidemic alone should cause. I am well aware that people die of COVID. I wear a mask, and follow the general guidelines to discourage the spread of COVID.
I have a website which offers free individualize tutorials to teach individuals how to find the curative remedy for the beginning and intermediate signs and symptoms of any disease including the flu and COVID. My objective is to teach individual how not to need to go to the hospital with anything that could be treated at home. This is a big issue because at the moment, hospitals cannot treat any but the most serious cases. Clearly, problems requiring hospital care are being neglected. I am not suggesting to anyone that they do not go to the hospital or avoid standard medical care, if that is possible. It is well known that at least the initial symptoms of infective diseases such as the flu cannot be easily treated by conventional medicine. Most reliable information involves nutrition and lifestyle. My method goes beyond those basics.
My effort leads to decreasing the burden on the hospital system with cases that could have been cured as simple cases similar to the flu if they had been treated with the method that I am teaching.
I do not try to reach the whole world, because most people are not reachable. I respond to individuals who reach out to me. Usually they have a background in alternative medicine.
I hope this reply is going to you as an individual. I responded to you because gave me the feeling that you were interested in communication. I am 72 years old and I am not familiar with this kind of discussion group. Sorry, I misread your message.
Good call! I’ve been talking to @WhiteNoise on Github about a shared search component. I’m not sure if this is it but he said he’d look into creating an API for it.
Yes! I’ll put some concepts/ideas together and share them.
What if we collect a bunch of ideas and put them up for a preliminary concept vote - and only then flesh out the winner? Would you still be interested?
I don’t have a fleshed out visual concept to share but a little idea that came to mind when I tried to envision something fitting for Journey.
The concept of a journey through time and the synergy between the past and future weaving paths through the now.
It’s very cool that you are doing this. I would love to help if I thought it wouldn’t give me a perfectly good reason to avoid my own project. If I thought I could put something good together quickly, I totally would help, but unfortunately/fortunately I have my hands full.
Good luck. I hope it works out. You have a great start and deserve plenty of help.
Totally dig this. The weaving part got me thinking of arrows, then fabric and THEN celtic knots. That’s an interesting direction I had not thought of. Good stuff, thank you
– Great idea,
