Suggested usage pattern:

(Or: How to get the most out of this plugin.)

  • Information should mainly be written in daily (or Zettelkasten-ish) notes. Topical notes will then mainly be aggregates of clippings from daily notes.
  • Notes should be taken hierarchically, in the form of bullet lists/bullet journaling. This helps keep clippings terse and relevant.
  • Links should be used as the only organizing principle in the vault - forgo use of tags and files/folders. This helps with completeness; the plugin only considers links when aggregating.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • Q: Is it intentional that the plugin is visible in live preview, but not reading view?
    • A: Yes, in the sense that Obsidian currently cannot add widgets to reading view in the same way as live preview (through code mirror extensions.)
  • Q; Why can't I see the Influx component in some pages?
    • A: As of version 2, Influx will by default not be shown on pages with no inbound mentions.
