Pens, pencils, paper, notebooks. - 3 notes at top level: `Analogue.md` (landing note), `Pens and Pencils.md`, `Blackwing.md` - `Paper` — 4 notes (Hobonichi, Moleskine, Papyrus, Tomoe River paper; up from 3) - `Pencils` — 1 note ("Tombow vs Blackwing"; new subfolder) - `Attachments` — images only ## Other - `INBOX/` — 1 note (`INBOX.md`, a landing note) plus an empty `Attachments` subfolder; nothing unsorted currently waiting - `Clippings/` — 1 note (`Author Coaching.md`); purpose still unconfirmed, relationship to `Reading/Readwise` and `INBOX/` not clarified - `Templates/` — 1 template (`note.md`) - Vault root — `Home.md`, `Inventory.md`, `CLAUDE.md` (+ `CLAUDE.md.bak`), plus Publish assets (`publish.css`, `publish.js`, `favicon-512.png`) - `.obsidian/` — vault configuration (plugins, themes, icons, settings) ## Observations - **Total notes ~1,601 → ~1,629 (net +28).** Most of the gain (+23) is the new `Instapaper Notes/` folder; the rest is small growth in `Digital/Web`, `Analogue`, and `Writing`. - **`Instapaper Notes/` is new** — worth deciding whether it stays a top-level folder, folds into `Reading/`, or gets a landing note. Several titles look like full-article clips (paywalled/copyright-sensitive?) — check before it's published via Obsidian Publish. - **`INBOX/` now contains only `INBOX.md`** (was 2 notes). The `Reading/Question 7.md` copy remains canonical. - **`Clippings/` is no longer empty** — it holds `Author Coaching.md`. - `Analogue` gained a `Pencils` subfolder and a fourth Paper note (Analogue total 6 → 8). - `Digital/Web` gained one note (2 → 3: Cloud server, Vermillion Red, html color wheel). - `Writing/` top level gained `Halfway down.md`. - `Reading/Readwise/` still dominates (1,173 of 1,209 Reading notes); `Full Document Contents` (909) remains the largest single folder. - `Misc./Health` (102) and `Misc./Pepper` (75) remain ~67% of Misc.; `Tai Chi`, `Photography`, `Society` still have no landing note.
