Note list view with fragments of note body

[wazah]

I’ve used Obsidian a couple of weeks and decided to switch permanently from other note programs. And I like Obsidian a lot, it’s amazing!

When switching and migrating over notes, I ran into a problem where lot of my notes were beginning with a date or some numbers. In the filetree of Obsidian, it is very difficult to have an overview of my notes. It looks like this:

The user experience would profit a lot if some fragments are visible in a note list beside the file tree like this:

So it’s a ‘overview list’, next to the ‘file tree list’. Clicking on the overview list makes the note appear next to the ‘overview list’.

I tried folder note, but it looks like it’s meant for another function. Clicking on a note in folder note list replaces the view of the list with a note. And some titles are not clickable (folder titles)

Hope I explained it clearly and keep up the good work with Obsidian!

Adding at least a text summary (first line of note’s text content with Markdown formatting stripped) would already significantly improve file navigation and search (here iA Writer example):
