First week of 2023! Happy new year, everyone!
It has been a rather slow start into the new year for me - and I enjoyed it very much. I started to work on January 2nd but since a lot of my regular projects were still in hibernation, I had time to focus on some writing: Synthesising learnings and ideas from past jobs and research into something sharable.
Over the last couple of years I have been building an archive on knowledge and thoughts with Obsidian, and it is incredible how helpful it was when writing these articles. If you have not checked it out so far, please do. It is a wonderful tool.
Speaking of gathering knowledge: I’m also currently experimenting with the new RSS app from Readwise to see if this could replace my current Reeder & Feedbin setup. I have been using “regular” Readwise for a while now to collect highlights from the books I read. With Reader I can now have the same experience with RSS feeds (and Twitter, YouTube, PDFs, etc.) all in one place. It also really helps that it has such a tight integration with Obsidian: Every part that I am highlighting from an article gets synced right into my Obsidian vault - meta tags and all. It’s really great!
