Obsidian Bases Just Changed Everything

Obsidian introduces Bases, a new core plugin that transforms notes into powerful databases with filtering and organization capabilities. The feature offers three key advantages: exceptional speed when handling thousands of notes, multiple views per base similar to Airtable, and embeddable views that can be inserted into other notes. Users can filter notes by properties, create custom columns, and organize information like quotes, projects, or recently modified files. While promising for data analysis and retrieval, the feature requires comfort with Obsidian properties and may shift focus from organic note-linking to structured database thinking. Currently in early access for Catalyst license holders, Bases represents a significant evolution in Obsidian's note management capabilities.
