🗼LYT House with Cecilia May 🗼
Cecilia "Cecil" May is the creator of "Primary" — @obsdmd October 2021's Best Theme — praised for its warm comforting experience, attention to detail and elegant color palette...
🗼LYT House with Cecilia May 🗼
Some topics:
• Why colors are interesting (some history, a bit of science)
• An overview of how the Primary theme was designed
• ​Things to know about CSS and UI design
• Commentary on the new LYT Mode theme
• Where is color theory going?
🗼LYT House with Cecilia May 🗼
I worked with Cecilia on a new theme for @obsdmd , an evolution of my beloved "Cybertron".

And thanks to @itschrishuerta , it has a new name:

"LYT Mode"

During our session, I'll share why that HAS to be the name.

When it comes to colors I have a hunch
Cecilia is one of the best of the bunch

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?

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.
