Obsidian for notes

Playing about with Obsidian lately as a note replacement app and started treating a portion of it like a books list, read, currently reading, notes etc and I just think it’s neat.

- I really enjoy the writing, I’ve only started taking down some notes but these are my favourite so far

Obsidian.md + This YouTube Video by No BoilerPlate I came across that got me interested. ^^
I love how this looks. Would you mind sharing what you Did to make it look like this? I tried to set it up quite quickly but my nodes change size and aren't different colours, like how your is. I also don't seem to be able to change the node distance, or have a "#" as a leading character in my note name. Would really appreciate any input you can offer
- There’s some settings on the right panel, my main nodes are red due to changing the theme but you can have them more custom, image with settings + how my current graph looks + an older first version. ^^
  
  Thank you very much for this! I'll check it out when I'm home and see if I can get something similar going!
  
  Sorry, gonna add another comment here. How did you get a "#" at the start of a node name. My app complained when I tried to do that myself, saying links won't work with that
How'd you like Dune? One of my favorite series by far. Do you plan on reading the sequels?
- At some point, I really enjoyed the first one but I took a little break after and haven’t had much time to return yet ^^
  
  Yeah fair enough, I know how that is lol.
