And with regard to the spreadsheet: I have now tried presenting my data (from Google Sheets) in #Airtable or #Grist (because both look pretty), but both don't sync with the sourca data.
Next I tried connecting #Sheets to #DataTables (because that's open and also pretty), but that doesn't work either.
Now I'm trying to visualize my raw data with #DataTables, but that's still difficult. I need a no-code solution and really, #Google is so useful, although many here don't like to hear it.

Ran into folders vs graph problem in #Obsidian again, while weaning off #Airtable; which rn means #tea + #whiskey.

The issue’s worst w/ 'containers’ like distilleries, whose relations have homogenous names (eg, most distilleries have a whiskey known as “$distiller 12yo”).

Folders + DataView? neat n tidy, but the graph doesn't see the connections & central object note location is awkward.

Prefixes + MOCs or properties? graph-friendly but data-entry intensive & works worse w/ fuzzy-finder.

In today's episode of *Candide Creates Things at 2am That Nobody Asked For*, I present to you: an #Airtable database for a fictional Afro-futurist fringe #theatre festival:

airtable.com/universe/expKYAM9

It's inspired by a local #fringetheatre fest, and my attempt to re-imagine their online show search and agenda while completing their feedback form.

I haven't been using Airtable much these days (in favour of #NocoDB), but Airtable still shines in publishing public templates.

Remix away! #cc0

si me dieran un peso por cada servicio que he tenido que reparar por problemas de comunicación con con #airtable tendría suficiente para comprarme un chocolate.

Ahora, no me dan un peso, sino de hecho varios miles de pesos, entonces no solo me alcanza para comprarme un chocolate, sino una dotación anual de Turin seguramente.

Gracias, devs que saltaron al tren del #serverless #headless y otros lesses por darme de comer. 🙏

So far the only obvious problem I foresee with #Obsidian properties is that the value completion maps to the property name, which is global. I obviously get why this is, but it means that it's not a 1:1 mapping to what I do in #Airtable.

Eg, “Status" fields - those differ for each base in Airtable since the 'status' of an eg tea merchant will differ from how I categorize eg martial arts films.

In Obsidian, completion will mix those all up. Not world-ending, but still friction.

Getting reasonably deep in the #Obsidian #DataView #JavaScript weeds. Very big “treating flat files as a database” vibes, because that's literally what's going on.

I /kinda/ dig it, since DataView means I’m just arranging inline fields in my prose documents as desired, vs being tightly constrained within a literal database or spreadsheet (or #Airtable). In the latter setup I would have to cram all the non-field Markdown content into a "notes" field or whatever.

But still undecided on where I should save the links to be shared. Two requirements:

1. I must be able to add a bit of text, for my comment on the link, and also have a way to tell Make where the link should be shared. Like tags, checkboxes for different platforms, or some other way.

2. Low-friction points process to save new links, with the needed metadata, from both iOS and MacOS.

Should I look at #Notion, #Airtable, #Raindrop, or something else?

2/2.

I liked because it allows me to display multiple categories of tasks visually, simultaneously but which feels heavy in the #browser, isn't super easy to utilize on #mobile, and when used in this way lacks ease of sorting, etc.

I'm currently experiment with #Airtable which provides some of the sorting, etc. but I'm not a fan of it's closed source, heavy feel.

I'm also experimenting with #Obsidian's #canvas and need to dive into it more deeply, I've used various #MindMapping software but
