Using that you can use the Weblink as an "input channel" and then move it to your own setup.

Just started using Capacity and have played around with it a little bit.
Coming from (and still using) Obsidian and, earlier Roam - i was wondering how you would go about using # and [[]].
For example - lets say i write a note: "Steffen loves to use Capacity and enjoys the many features". If i use [[Steffen]] loves to use [[Capacity]] and enjoys the many features #productivity_apps - it would make two individual pages + a hashtags.
But what would i need to do to connect [[Capacity]] to #productivity_apps.....and [[Steffen]] to using [[Capacity]]. Should i add #steffen and #capacity as well
What would be your workflow ? Just started using Capacity and have played around with it a little bit.

Is this answering your question?

Have a much better sense of what it can do now. Especially the "Person" or "Page" mentality....and then # as a addition to that.
Beginning to feel this could take over from Obsidian entirely

No, we don't have a setting for different font sizes.

Quick question - I wanted to track my weight every week. I wonder if there is any way to track and visualize this data as a graph? Or in any other visual way to be able to track my weight loss progress? Is there any built-in tool to do that, or maybe some way to make it happen with external tools (if at all possible)? I'm curious if any of you had a similar case and how you resolved it with Capacities. Thanks!

Thanks! 1 1 Tip: If you have difficulty to define your objects and property types, take a look at https://schema.org/docs/full.html for inspiration on which fields you could use, especially now that we can hide properties by default its nice to follow standards. Added benefit is that it also makes importing .CSV's more streamlined / easier and enhances your search queries

oh god I hate you! I completely agree and Iโve completely not done that. Well at least now I can slowly edit the names I have used in each area and hopefully as you say will make queries so much easier to transfer between users. 2

1 However, seems to be some interference with the global zoom in / out command: while editing the cmd - changes the hierarchy of the block but the cmd + triggers the application zoom in function instead of triggering the hierarchy (testing in desktop app).
Edit: Aah it seems the nump pad + increases hiearchy but the other plus the zoom => @lerone seems to already spotted this -> https://capacities.io/feedback/p/increse-decrease-hierarchy-shortcut-for-macbook maybe an idea to map the hiearchy to # 1 => cmd 1, ## 2 => cmd 2, ### 3 => cmd 3 etc..? 1

Are you by any chance use a windows keyboard with your mac? That might change the key mapping. Just double checked and the mentioned shortcuts work for me. Are you by any chance use a windows keyboard with your mac? That might change the key mapping. Just double checked and the mentioned shortcuts work for me. I don't use any different keyboard, I'm on a standard MacBook Pro....but.. I do have many utility apps like Keyboard Maestro, swish, better snap tool, Alfred, etc etc - so I wonder if there's a conflict somewhere, I'll take a look over next couple of days to test that out, now that I know they are supposed to work. I'll get back to you if/when I find it. Thanks. I don't use any different keyboard, I'm on a standard MacBook Pro....but..

2 has been answered probably 5-6 times in the last week. I think it might nominate itself for UX improvement to help users understand why these shortcuts are here. I've answered several questions around it and Boonikad got this one but it's a pattern of not being understood. 6 1 1 1 has been answered probably 5-6 times in the last week.

why not create a ticket on the feeedback board? https://capacities.io/feedback/ 1
and i am coming from notion
My first impression, capacities is amazing
Thanks to the Team for the great job
How can i tag content-type specific?
Must i do for this an extra tag-content-type-Object?
I do not want to use, the normal tags.
For me are the normal tags more like topics.
Or have i not understand the tagging concept in capacities
I notion i use this conecpt:
Tags are primarily used for categorizing and filtering content, while topics are used for organizing related content and creating a knowledge base.
For topics in notion i am using an extra database, so i can linking related content.
Can somebody help me to understand the tagging concept in capacities
Thanks

but looking at all the net-political/-ethical discussions to be had here in the CAP-forums/-community, I feel YT is pretty much 'on the other end of the spectrum' (right beside Facebook, recent Twitter & co)
... sadly it's the house of so much valuable content, in an ocean close to the tipping points of platform pollution... sigh
1 2 1 )
and as to sadness: having been an early fan of YT, and vimeo, DailyMotion etc (for that matter), it makes me sad, how these actors get away w/ 'shifting baselines' to this kind of info & culture 'pollution' w/o being called out / held to account, and still suceeding in capitalizing / cannibalizing the original (good) impulses and perceptions of people to the max.

1 1. I'd expect bulk importing of media would / should be pRt of that.
... always good if you add your voice at the Canny-feedback portal. I guess searching 'bulk', 'batch', 'importing', 'images' should beimg up relevant tickets to add-on to, or vote for.
if your question is also around structuring all of this in terms of an info-structure in CAP, there is lots of people here who surely can help & give options. but in that case, I'd recommend you illustrate a little more around the way you work / want to work with this knowledge repo.
1 1 1 1 You are right. My underlying question is really about 'bulk importing' images. This was just an example of a number of similar situations I have. I'll check out previous tickets as you suggest. Thanks... 1

This provides a decent visual differentiation for whatever object types you have. Until/unless we get more control over the grouping or hierarchy of object types, it works well for me.

it's not original, but it made finding the type I was looking for faster and more reliable - plus I don't have to think about where a new type should go! 1

Just found a new trick I haven't noticed before.
You can create new objects and assign a template at the same time, this works great for the media object type I talk about in a lot of my videos!
If you have a book template in your media object type, type cmd U then "book" and you'll get a new media object with your book template pre-loaded!
I did a loom demo here: https://www.loom.com/share/695d4a2ce73946b4b08247390a33aa6b?sid=165c27fc-a1a5-4d8a-a4a5-6509c6b2b526 3
