New blogpost about #Obsidian as a digital community archiving tool.
I describe a collaborative way to record information, in an intuitive text format (markdown) and live visualization as a network graph:

My current setup for digital community archiving projects:
open hardware (#raspberrypi) as interfaces. small screens to avoid sitting *behind* laptop screens (pi 400, #adafruit cyberdeck hat, #clockworkpi #devterm).
portable #scanography for creative tracing and mapping.
graph writing in #obsidian, with self-hosted livesync and other plugins (dataview, graph link types, juggl). can be combined with social media webarchiving.
this all is building on prototyping and experimentation in the cooarchi.net art-doc-archive.net #urbandermatology and #opferschicht projects, and recently in the @MuseumfZK
Continued thread
Obsidian as a community archiving interface:
The plugins Self hosted live sync and Dataview works for synchronized graph writing
(I used IBM Cloudant as sync storage, straightforward to set up, also works on the phone)
Since our "cooArchi - community oriented archiving interface" prototype in 2021, I have thought a lot about how to do interactive and collaborative network writing with existing software.
Currently I am experimenting with note taking software. I chose Obsidian, which is not open source, but has many open source plugins. And it writes Markdown files, which can easily be moved and used with other software.
With "Dataviewer" Plugin and "Graph Link Types" Plugin a markdown writing experience similiar to what we tried with the cooArchi interface is possible.
For synchronized/platform writing there is a commercial sync service and I will be exploring self-hosted "LiveSynch" with Object Storage, and "Remotely Save" with Nextcloud WebdAV.
