- Free-form writing in Canvas.
- Make a Obsidian Base be based on a single JSON file, and not necessarily a group of markdown notes.
- Scoping templates to folders or other note properties, handling many templates gets messy.
- Auto-apply templates under certain conditions.

I'm already a huge enjoyer of the AI generated attractive women on Threads doing art, sports or just about anything selling AI generated wallpapers, or some other AI generated crap.

Detecting these AI images / videos reliably is impossible, so we should never at one point rely on these.

Next step will be to my own sentences and get feedback on them :) But still 400 cards to go before I do that.

It introduces me to more new words and grammar concepts with context, which helps a lot.

​I also have another ChatGPT project called "KR Sentence Explainer". It's set up similarly (resources + instructions), but it breaks down sentences + grammar using the attached files as reference!

What I like to do currently is get example sentences for the words in my decks via AI. I made a ChatGPT project with many Korean resources attached and instructions to improve its output.

​I’m very pleased with the examples I get.

More plans:
- also teach stroke order.
- an introduction for using mnemonics to remember words. Also include suggestions.
- Katakana.

It's still in the early stages, looking for user feedback.

What works well, and was doesn't for you? What would you like to have added?

Current plans include adding user accounts to sync between devices.

So I'd highly recommend against defining folders top-down, it will become an unsustainable mess, always. Instead in a bottom-up approach all files live in one folder, but there's still structure, especially with Bases it's become even better. See the post for more info :)

I prefer Zettelkasten + Projects + Collections.

Zettelkasten for long-term knowledge, using atomic / smart notes.

Projects for things that have a goal or are less long-term, e.g. some health problem of mine or the development of an app.

Collections for books, videos games, etc.

I wrote a post about how I structure my Obsidian vault for thinking, knowledge management, collections and content creation: bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidia...

Most important for structure is the bottom-up / smart notes system: bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidia...

Let me know which questions you have!

AI makes development much faster, but it isn't perfect. And of course there many parts to it that are highly problematic.

But I dislike the example used here, it's just not a good one.

I tried the same and it worked much better. Used a prompt that a person without web / tech knowledge would use and the outcome is decent.

Fixed the image of the code being cut off.

No, it's not quirky at all. Anything webkit based is the special snowflake nowadays.

Using Firefox with the uBlock extension (+ some more), both on Windows and Android.

Usually using the dev version as I do front-end development.

Zen Browser and Floorp seem nice as well, both are based on Firefox so the same extensions also work, but as I'm content with FF I haven't tried them.
