Images in daily note
I like uploading pictures in the daily note. Love this feature and how it builds over time.. Problem is the photos take up a large chunk of space inside the vault. Not that my vault is large, but the photos are probably taking up 60% of the space of the entire vault and that's with using the Image Converter Community plugin to shrink the file size.. Claude will fix the problem by making me a symlink so that when I add an image it will get copied on to my iCloud Drive /attachments folder instead of my vault folder where attachments currently live. . Obsidian won't know the difference.. :-) Lets see how it goes..
Start here: introduce yourself
Welcome to The Construct. This is a small group of people who look at Obsidian the same way: not as a note app, but as the place your whole life runs from. Work, studies, health, admin, a business, all of it in one system that makes things simpler instead of adding another thing to manage. If that's how you think, you're among your people. Most of the world doesn't get it. Everyone here does. I built this place because a vault is the starting point, not the finish line. The real system gets built over months, adjusted to your actual life, and that goes faster when other people are building next to you. One note about communities like this: the value isn't in the content, it's in the people. Everyone who's ever got something out of a group like this posted. Nobody who only read did. Reading gets you nothing here. So the first thing to do is say hello. Copy this, fill it in, post it as a comment: Hi, I'm [name] from [city]. I do [what you do]. I've been in Obsidian for [how long]. I want my system to run [work / studies / a business / everything]. The thing that frustrates me right now is [one thing]. When you do, three things happen: I reply to you personally, I unlock the free Obsidian + Claude Basics course for you, and the next person who joins reads yours and posts too. How this place works: - Stuck on anything? Post it in Help. No question is too basic. - Built something? Post it in Showcase. Screenshots looks prettier than descriptions. - Own the Evergreen Vault? You're a Builder: the Builder Kit and the live call every two weeks are yours. Your turn.

Hey everyone, I’m Frank! I’m from Australia but spend a fair bit of time in Thailand. I’ve been using the Evergreen Vault for a while and I’ve become pretty serious with it. I've turned it into a proper system for everything. Projects, daily logs, admin, learning, all of it and messing around with it every day :-) I’m also starting to build out a trading knowledge system, which is probably the biggest thing I’m working on in the vault at the moment.. But I've also got a bit addicted to logging stuff through the day I love this daily log first mindset.. Been following Dee’s stuff for a while and was really looking forward to this community opening. Just wanted to mention that I spent years switching between note apps, trying different systems and changing my mind every five minutes. I think I’ve finally landed on something that really works for me now! Keen to see how everyone else is using Obsidian and pick up some ideas. Congrats Dee! Good to see the site up and running now..
