Hi,

please consider the option/plugin enabling previewing all the notes in the current folder as tiles with title and readable content.

Example: scrivenings mode in Scrivener:

 ![Zrzut ekranu 2020-12-29 o 08.10.43](https://forum.obsidian.md/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1487fdab4f3c5d66f386b65f7a4e3ebc72f6d625.jpeg)

It is extremely useful: I can see not only the title, but also a content of a given note (first lines is in most cases enough).

It would also be nice to be able to control the size of the tile.

Yours,

Andy

I sometimes use Ulysses just for the purpose of being able to preview the first few lines of my notes. Would love to see something like the above, or this, in Obsidian (of course correct me if I’ve missed it!)

> Use case or problem We organize our lives in Obsidian, yet the current file explorer presents our notes as a mere list of titles–missing the rich visual context that makes note-taking apps like Craft, Google Keep and Evernote so delightful to use. When working with dozens or hundreds of notes, being able to view snippets, images, and metadata at a glance becomes essential. While [the hover preview](https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Page+preview) is helpful, it’s inefficient for scanning through many notes quickly. There’s a clear demand for m…
