Obsidian is developing a game-changer: Bases turns scattered notes into organized databases with zero coding. Filter hundreds of notes instantly, create dashboards, track research—all while keeping plain text files. 🧠✨

The new Bases feature in Obsidian is exciting. I am curious how others are using it? What are the pro's and con's from your experience?
I am a major user of the Tasks plugin for Obsidian and appreciate this hack by @vladcampos.com for managing recurring tasks (keeping things clean in the notes)

Remarkably, sometimes my fingers remember the sequence even if I can't consciously articulate it—it's as if they recall the pattern instinctively. (3/3)
It generally takes me about three to four weeks to develop a smooth workflow with an app's keyboard shortcuts. I truly enjoy the transition from needing to consciously recall a shortcut to my fingers executing it effortlessly. (2/3)
Muscle memory never fails to amaze me. As someone who experiments with various Tools for Thought, I place a high value on solid keyboard support during my evaluations. When taking notes, quick access to keyboard shortcuts for key elements like headers, styling, and bullet points is essential. (1/3)
I’m looking for a good book on complex systems theory. Recommendations?
Frontmatter (or properties) is becoming a solid way for devs to had new functionality that allows customization at a note level.
This is a nice addition in NotePlan (Which I am currently using for a large multi-month project).
