Playing about with Obsidian lately as a note replacement app and started treating a portion of it like a books list, read, currently reading, notes etc and I just think it’s neat.

I love how this looks. Would you mind sharing what you Did to make it look like this? I tried to set it up quite quickly but my nodes change size and aren't different colours, like how your is. I also don't seem to be able to change the node distance, or have a "#" as a leading character in my note name. Would really appreciate any input you can offer

There’s some settings on the right panel, my main nodes are red due to changing the theme but you can have them more custom, image with settings + how my current graph looks + an older first version. ^^

Sorry, gonna add another comment here. How did you get a "#" at the start of a node name. My app complained when I tried to do that myself, saying links won't work with that

Not an issue, I add tags to the body instead of the title since it really doesn’t like that so, example!

If you have any other questions my matrix is /@snacx:matrix.org

I get this error trying to make a file name contain a "#". I am doing like you with links in the body though

Yeh so if you leave the title and enter the body and try the tag then it’ll work, you can connect each page with a tag by just placing it in the main body ^^

I did not understand the concept of a tag until just now lol. I'm understanding now though. Thank you so much for the help :)

I just got home and got to try out the settings you suggested and this is awesome. It's exactly what I wanted it to look like. Thank you very much again for all your help today :)

Thank you very much for this! I'll check it out when I'm home and see if I can get something similar going!

The theme I was using originally was Obsidian, playing about with some others so they’re worth trying out ^^

Settings > Appearance > Themes > Manage.

Update: For colours.
