Obsidian Bases + Web Clipper 📝 The Perfect Research & Learning Pair

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In today's video, I walk through how to build a sources Base using the New Obsidian Bases Plugin + the Obsidian Web Clipper Browser Extension. Combining the organization of Bases with the capture element of the Web Clipper Extension creates the perfect hybrid for researching and learning, all in the place you are already taking your notes in. The Web Clipper extension lets you customize templates for different websites to automatically organize the sources you're saving in a format that is perfectly compatible with Obsidian Bases. Obsidian Bases effortlessly turns your notes into a database, without the need of plugins like Dataview or cloud-based apps like Notion. If you've been waiting to switch to Obsidian from Notion, now might be the time! Bases makes the properties of your notes FAR more powerful. You can now edit properties from within the table directly, simplifying batch editing of your note metadata. Converting your notes into databases can help you surface insights and reduce information overload, as building inboxes and locating patterns becomes significantly easier. If you want to learn more about what Bases are and how to get started, check out the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWUQbK8KlOo Note: this feature is currently available in beta to Catalyst members (early access). I will let you know when the feature becomes available to everyone. In the meantime, this tutorial will still help you understand how you will be able to incorporate Bases into your note-taking workflow once you get access. I hope you enjoy! ✨ Consensus 1 month free with 1 year premium: https://get.consensus.app/Wanderloots To learn more about how I organize my Obsidian vault with an eye to AI-integration, check out my PKM & Digital Gardening Obsidian Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWhMzDKA7vJ7p50vW-oeZgKR2aDReZFW6 P.S.
