This week with my son diving into Obsidian for school we had “the talk”. You know backlinks or tags and why backlinks are your power tool for connecting to related materials (and having some content hubs for root concepts), but also the Obsidian42 - Strange New World and its magic for back links.
Then talk about tags for being solid for aggregation hooks for filtering, search, and dataview. Just like tags always have been good at. Obsidian has a mess with the hashtag and front matter tags ATM.
