Given that I had good experience with Discord's server management side, we basically ran our entire private beta here. Discord specifically was designed: intentionally designed for communities: community, so the casual tone and the entire onboarding, moderating: moderation, and server management experience is optimized for community engagement.The nature of chat makes things more casual, and less transactional (unlike email or forum).We intentionally chose Discord instead of any other medium because of two primary reasons: I'm sure you already know we have the Discord chat server and the Discourse forum - these two were intentionally chosen:Īt the very early stage when we first announced the product in private beta, we started with the Discord server because of my past experience moderating a gaming community. What do you think makes the Obsidian community successful? Without further ado, here's the interview! Huge round of appreciation for Licat for discussing the subject with me. That means I like to think about design decisions with respect to how they influence user behavior.įor example, how does the medium of communication influence the frequency with which users interact? How can intentional decisions about a product's community influence user behavior? And in Obsidian, I've seen a lot of intentional decisions. , so this conversation was incredibly helpful. Additionally, it was difficult to package the study itself. Spark Wave built GuidedTrack so that it could build advanced studies and rapidly prototype, and is making the software available more broadly.Īlternative study platforms like Qualtrics and Typeform required so much clicking and dragging that they were tedious and took forever to build. I'm working on developing a community for GuidedTrack GuidedTrack GuidedTrack is a simple low-code application that allows you to make surveys, experiments, web applications, online courses, signup forms, and more. , an excellent application that I use for editing all of the markdown files on this website. Thanks Oh, I had missed suggestion… Thanks lots to look into there!, a few things to figure out.Below is a chat I had via Discord with Licat, one of the co-founders of Obsidian Obsidian See also on Scaling Synthesis for more I’m going to be keeping that trick in my bag, thanks I might not need to use that solution for my quotes, since solution to use the > character works wonderfully, although I’ve yet to experiment with maintaining the same quote box through paragraphs… ah… nm, all I have to do is use another > between the paragraphs to extend the quote box through, so there you have it, complete solution. I’m always thinking about whether or not the methods I’m using at any given time will lead me to problems down the road, and I’m too new to Obsidian as of now, I’m constantly in fear that as my database is growing, as I’m investing so much time adding to it, that at some point later I’ll realize that I’ve been doing something in such a manner that I’m going to later run into trouble… or the opposite, that I’ll realize that I should have been doing it this way rather than that way, and how much better or easier my database would have evolved had I done it right from the beginning.Īlthough something as simple as suggestion might be worthy consideration, it would not interfere with the integrity of my notes, and if I ever needed to export and those were in the way, I could always run a grep program to find all instances and delete them. I likewise don’t think that it would be wise to add coding to my notes, no matter how nifty they would look in Obsidian. I realized very soon after you replied that I could expand on the text customization with markdown ( Getting Started | Markdown Guide), but also understood why you were mentioning only the basic formatting with asterisks and such. Plain plaintext is safe and future proof into a future where computers still exist. Obisidian has already once cleaned the HTML is will process in its md files. Apple would love to move its world to a proprietary format it had patented.Īll formats can present security problems if they trigger further processing this includes markdown with its acceptance of HTML. I’ve met far more incompatibility problems using markdown than using rtf. And I wasn’t advocating them either, simply indicating that they have many advantages over markdown - the pros aren’t all in one direction.Ĭriticising rtf for incompatibilities between variants is rather rich from a markdown user. They all have their deficiencies, but rtf is one of the most widely used and many apps, eg Scrivener, are based on it. I wasn’t actually advocating rtf the etc indicated it was meant as a marker for WP formats. Reluctant as I am to take a thread further off topic,
