thoughts on how i use this obsidian vault and how i might change it moving forward.

~~what about things that are a cross between two things: like oc/canon (fan x project)??~~
- ~~the worming tag exists – maybe i should just make a folder for dreaming girl stuff?~~
~~i should probably have a tag for stuff that is mine… including stuff like my physical library, so it can’t be “memories” since the library is continually updated.~~
- ✅ 2026-09-24 yes it can, and the library goes somewhere else.

tags in same realm: #yume (for oc/canon shenanigans), #original-work (for ocs and autobio… or should these be separate?), #worming (for general perversions that could be applied to yume stuff or turn into an oc project lol)
~~unsure about the epistemic status – knowing which posts to tag with epistemic statuses is not intuitive yet~~
- ✅ got rid of epistemic statuses. just made me crazy
~~would like to have a list of tags but it annoys me that doing so in a post’s body will give it that tag~~
- ✅ i forgot how i disabled this but it was definitely in the quartz docs.

~~when i push an update via vscode, all the notes show the same date modified on the site. would this be different if i use quartz sync? should i change my note dates to date created?~~
- 03-23 ✅ resolved with the addition of obsidian linter. see quartz customization log.

~~got rid of the priv tag, since i can just check which notes are private using dataview on which files have frontmatter of draft: true.~~
- 03-25-2026: moved all priv notes back to the homebase so i wouldn’t have to bother with all this.
~~added epistemic and glimmer to the frontmatter.~~
- ~~the tags are optional now – only if i want the status to be known to people viewing the site, really. otherwise it’s dataview babey~~
consider what to do with passwords…

amount of space between a paragraph and a single bullet bothers me a little. i really like how it looks on Regular Obsidian, but not on quartz.
links in list items are the same color as list. should i fix this…

✅ decided to get rid of the epistemic and glimmer statuses because they were too tedious to keep track of lol.

in the process of doing the rehaul from yesterday, in which i have 3-4 main folders (archive/desk/inbox/shelf) and everything else is tagged.
testing: topic/personal/projects → topic/projects? they’re not REALLY personal, so i’m putting them in their own category, like how topic/webdev and topic/artmaking are their own category. personal is more like… About Me™.

used the status tag saved for stuff in the shelf folder.
- actually, in this case, do i really need a shelf folder…?
i got rid of the “access” tag since my only two access choices are “public” and “password”, and i can just search for things with a password using my base of passworded files.
I WOULD LIKE:
- permalinks, or links to notes that don’t depend on what folder they’re in. i might move a note from archive to desk, and i’d like its link to stay the same. the permalinks don’t seem to work with quartz syncer?!
  - resolved 2026-09-24.
- the title of a nested tag’s page to look nicer…
  - currently:
    - breadcrumbs: home > tags > topic > rships > 🏷️: topic/rships/family
    - title: 🏷️: topic/rships/family
  - ideal:
    - breadcrumbs: home > tags > topic > rships > 🏷️: family
    - title: 🏷️: topic/rships/family
      - this can stay the same, but i’d like everything but “family” to be dimmed.
- the default tags page to look nicer in general. or maybe i should just make my own damn specific tags pages by:
  - status
  - topic
  - the special mindscape tag
- a list of all files
do i want to make my first default header h1 instead of h2? feels like that goes against semantics in which the note title should be the only h1… unsure.
- Update 3/28: no, h1 is wayyyy too big.
also, maybe i should consider fixing the h3 and h4 css. it’s quite ugly over on quartz customization log.

rehauled the folder structure once more. now i’m fine with them having links to notes that have the folder in the URL—they’re not moving!
