Finishing up #buildinpublicsprint not with a finished product, but with a bit more clarity Might have been a bit too much not to take a break between cohort courses, but at the end of the day, was an interesting way to close the year

Day 4 - Last day with actual "meat" Whenever it gets too theoretical, I know I've probably went on for too long. Regardless, easier to cut from a full page than to write from a blank one. #buildinpublicsprint last 3 days...

Day 3 Draft - this is starting to turn into something else rather than an email course... The goal isn't to teach "Obsidian", there are already a lot of capable people out there doing that The goal is to teach "Using Obsidian", turning notes into unique pieces of content

Day 1 snip thinking about titling it "Learning with Obsidian" rather than "Obsidian Starter Course", want to get a bit more specific on what I will cover In this one I want to debunk a famous myth from people thinking they need to learn a "new language" to use Obsidian

Sharing my "day 0" email from my future Obsidian course Lot's of things to improve, very new to the copywriting game. Also can think of better reasons to strengthen my argument, but for now, it is what I have for a Friday night :) #buildinpublicsprint

One of the things I want to address in an email course on Obsidian is the simplicity of it I feel there is too much content explaining all the plugins and advanced customizations you can do I treat it basically as my digital pen. It writes. The rest is up to me.…

took literally the whole month to figure it out the goal behind #buildinpublicsprint is not finishing a product but to talk about about the messy stuff during building not too much to show for yet, but will be fun to look back at this posts a few months from now

Things starting to take better shape towards the end of #buildinpublicsprint The plan is for this to be a free email course aimed towards Obsidian for Writers, but I might change the focus audience later It might just be too much content though, let's see how it goes

Getting through the email course course from @MeetKevon Very convincing, you don't see this kind of attitude nowadays Building long term trust is more important than some quick bucks #buildinpublicsprint

Writing in Public vs Building in Public Writing in Public is easy, you just share your thoughts Building in Public is hard, you need to be vulnerable to show something unfinished and unpolished I guess I'm a better public writer than public builder 😅 #buildingpublicsprint

Great podcast by @NickMilo and @AliAbdaal Starting online and showing your work? ✔ Journaling? ✔ Books? ✔ @obsdmd ? ✔ Productivity? ✔ It covered so much that I'll use it as a basis for my Obsidian email practical course Script 30% done youtube.com/watch?v=H_lZr0…

The best thing is not always solving a problem, But having a problem you WANT to solve For natural problem solvers, having a challenge is often better than having a task you need to fulfil Set #buildinpublicsprint aside a bit to deal with some nasty SQL queries, feels great

wellwellwell Very convenient 50% off for someone wanting to create an email course and no idea on how to start Any reason I should NOT get it? Apart from @MeetKevon promoting questionable food choices... 🥦 👀 #buildinpublicsprint

Considering creating a simple Obsidian starter email course I see so many people defaulting to apple notes because of simplicity Reality is that Obsidian is pretty much the pen and paper of the digital world As simple as it gets, as complex as you want #buildinpublicsprint

Time for a quick refactoring Continuing #buildinpublicsprint with an actual public roadmap Testing @cannyHQ for open feedback and suggestions for future content Overkill for someone with a small following, but interesting for accountability minimalistsecondbrain.canny.io
