Bases seem like a great alternative to Dataview [0] but better supported and with simpler syntax than literally writing inline JavaScript for more complicated stuff.

You can also export your table as CVS and they plan to properly support Obsidian Publish which was never supported in Dataview.

[0]: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview, I was a big fan but it seems the author has stopped actively developing it at some point which is a shame.

> Datacore is a work-in-progress re-imagining of Dataview with a focus on 2-10x better query and rendering performance, as well as fully interactable views.

They are using a yaml file with .base extension for this.

Looks good. I liked Notion but hated that I can’t migrate my data in the future.

Are there any good ways to attach files to notes? I often want to tie a memo or email to a note but have not found a convenient way.

This is absolutely awesome.

I’ve often wanted something like 1Password except not secrets.

For example, what is my wife’s blood type? What is my grandma’s address? Right now I put those in notes but it’s not discoverable.

This seems perfect for that.

If you pay for the Catalyst license (which you need to anyway to use this beta feature), when you log into the application, under General there's an option to enable "Receive early access versions". Then if you click on "Check for updates" it will download the latest version.

This looks really cool! I'm curious to try it out and see how the .base files look like
