Enjoying the Smart Connections dance on my phone

Smart Connections on mobile

As a regular Obsidian user (on my phone, on my iPad Mini, and on my laptop), I enjoy the dancing screens that activate when I open Obsidian on my Samsung handset.

I also enjoy how I can explore Smart Graph in the Connections view menu. Graph links now show directionality arrows (but they’re very tiny).

I’m trying to see if the “recency” ranking gives me an actionable “time-ago” scoring that I can use. It’s something one of my Claude dashboards can detect. It will be very cool to see this functionality directly inside Obsidian.

On my iPad Mini, being able to drag the graph view node into a note is very sweet. It drops a link like I’m dragging a result from a list.

All these features enhance the hands-on functionality of Obsidian for me and they keep me inside my Vault where I’m more likely to produce content like this blog post.

I’m posting this content directly from my Obsidian Vault to my microblog

Big win.
