Hi Folks,
Almost nothing should change, and no action is required on your part.
I'm mostly making this post so no-one is surprised with a small price fluctuation.
What's happening: I'm changing the Patreon backend currency from $dollars to £pounds.
This might slightly vary the actual price you...
Hi folks, it was SO fun to meet so many of you in Paris earlier this month at EuroRust!

I've been playing with the new 'Bases' feature which will drop in the next version of Obsidian (1.9), and is currently in beta for Catalyst supporter users. IT'S GREAT!
TLDR, it's databases for Obsidian, using note properties for column names. If you've used the venerable Projects plugin or the newer DB Folder plugin, it can replace both, ...

Hi folks!
I have explained the joy of rust at length on my channel, HOWEVER, some of what I have mentioned breaks down when interacting with async rust.
Though the compiler is getting more and more helpful with each iteration, async is still a sharp edge, especially for newcomers.
But you don't have to use it.

I was wrong
about binding multiple commands to a single hotkey, not only does this not work, it's non-deterministic and only SOMETIMES doesn't work, which fooled me!
