alt Hacker NewsObsidian is very flexible, and what a lot of these "how I use Obsidian" tutorials miss is to give a reason why the person is actually using it the way they are using it. Seems like this guy is using it mostly to store meeting notes or journaling. Of the many influencery Obsidian tutorials on Youtube, 99% of them seem to be using it to keep notes for creating Obsidian tutorials.
Would be interesting to have differing perspectives from people with different problems and how they use it for those cases.

It’s great for sheet music and for DnD DMing. I also use it store all things I write. I don’t use links though, I’m a barbarian who uses folders and canvases
I manage project documentation for work + personal projects using it. So I tend to have one folder per project with very little linking across folders. Then I have a personal folder that contains all non work stuff with varying degrees of structure, then a junkyard folder on the root where new notes that dont currently have an obvious category go, and if i come back to them they get sorted.
You don't think those exist? Obsidian forum has a lot of individual use-cases and more than a couple academics. erazlogo's public vault was as influential to me on how I use it as K. Healy's exposition of his use of R in emacs.
