Sometimes I get self-conscious when I’m listening to a YouTube video in public and I start visibly smiling/chuckling. But today I just watched someone else do that and it was a beautiful thing to see. Don’t ever be afraid to smile :)

They really buried the lede on this, but I love the fact that you can query your Bases in the CLI and output JSON! This is exactly the push I needed to start using Obsidian as a database (albums, articles, etc)
