Super thankful for all the megaphones, microphones and support for Obsidian Flight School 🚀

I’m going to pay it forward. Free flight school event next Thursday morning at 9 AM PST!

I’ll share an event link tomorrow 🙌
Come and ask questions about your Flight School experience so far.

If you haven’t purchased, Ccme anyways and let’s talk about Lean Forward Learning!
I definitely want to show the awesome swappable outlining that @cgpgrey advocated for because it’s pretty great.

Also anyone know the best way to gift a copy of Obsidian Flight School to @cgpgrey as thanks?
Again thanks for all the support on here and on Product Hunt.

I gotta say though, getting this from an old buddy from NYC was definitely one of the highlights:

What a run we had on @ProductHunt! We had the most upvotes, most comments, & most reviews for the day. That said, we finished 4th.

I'm grateful & honored for your support!

The amount of energy & goodwill generated was the Real win here.

I don't take that for granted...

1/5
The whirlwind of buzz you helped me generate puts a spotlight on the responsibility I have to you.

It's a responsibility to be a good custodian for those hoping to improve their PKM systems.

I don't take that responsibility lightly.

2/5
I intend to continue advocating for sensemaking through note-making throughout 2022.

The Note Makers fight against the forces that would have them mindlessly consume endless content.

Note Makers know that wrestling with ideas is far more valuable than being fed them.

🏄 6 Principles of "Lean Forward Learning" 🏄

Online learning is different. It's the wild west out there.

We know passive "lean back" learning isn't effective.

The best learning happens when we are actively engaged.

This is the paradigm behind "Lean Forward Learning"

🧵... Image
The Lean Forward paradigm is an extension of the "Learn by doing" theory of education set forth by John Dewey in the early 1900's.

However, the Lean Forward paradigm differs is that it outlines principles specifically with online education in mind.

What are these principles?
🏄 Principle # 1 🏄 Curated yet non-linear

The online course or workshop creates a sense of freedom, and yet, a sense of structure.

Students have some agency to “Choose Their Own Adventure”.

This is my first @ProductHunt launch ever! I never imagined I would be doing this. Would appreciate any and all the love you can give it today 🥰

"Obsidian Flight School" (@obsdmd, #obsidianmd)

Oh boy, I'm a bit nervous! I'll be updating this throughout the day with random bits here and there.
What is the better way to improve at something?

Watching or doing?

Yes both are needed. But we improve the most by doing. (3/x)

Hey @Dropbox, we the people would like basic emoji support in folders and filenames 📁

Hey #emoji lovers & #obsidianmd users, please let Dropbox know that emoji support is a basic expectation at this point.

🗳Upvote my request on Dropbox's forum: dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ide…
Hey @Dropbox , it's almost 2022 and the 🌎 is using emojis.

They are not going away. But you've been dragging your feet on emoji support for folders and filenames for a few years now. It was a trickle in 2018, but it's almost 2022 and the dam has broken.
Your competitors are offering emoji support already. Emojis are unicode. This shouldn't be an issue. Let's make it happen.

This isn't the first, second, or third time emojis have been brought up on your forum.

@EleanorKonik's latest @obsdmd Roundup is out, I have my cup of coffee, and now I get to explore the wild frontier...obsidianroundup.org/2021-10-23/
I'm a big fan of @HungSu's prompt generator. It's simple and yet effective at getting you to engage your thinking muscles, and because you don't know what the next prompt will be, it keeps things interesting.
I just noticed @TfTHacker prepend's their plugins with "Obsidian42" which makes it really nice to see more from the same developer if you like their style.

I'm excited to go live with @readwiseio's @deadly_onion and @erinmuur tomorrow to quiz them all about their native @obsdmd integration!

Will you be joining us for the live demo and AMA?

It's open to all.

Details below 👇
Tuesday, 9:00 AM PDT (Los Angeles) / 16:00 UTC

Register here.

I'm personally interested in how Readwise can "smartly" import my book notes into my note-making space.

lu.ma/v89ay8qh
What type of "smart" import am I looking for?
1. Can it add new book highlights without overwriting the whole file? Because once I start note-making, I don't want my connections to be erase.
