Obsidian Dataview

Dataview is a live index and query engine for Obsidian notes. You can add metadata to your notes and query them with the Dataview Query Language (a SQL-like language and Dataviews core functionality) to list, filter, sort or group your data. Dataview keeps your queries always up to date and makes data aggregation a breeze.

• Automatically collect links to notes, render them, create dynamic views filtering by metadata
  • e.g.

  LIST
  WHERE dg-publish = true and dg-hide != true
