What does your Index page look like?

[zamuz]

I’ve been playing around with Silverbullet for the last few days and I love it! One thing that I’ve been tinkering around with (maybe too much but it’s fun) is my Index page. Initially I just went with a blank page, but quickly I realized I could customize it to show something useful, so after many revisions I ended up with this:

https://gist.github.com/zamuz/7b8a80c32384808063ddb78de460dd64

It should show you something like this:

Basically, a list of tags (clickable, each with a tagged page count) and recent pages (with creation date and tags).

What are you using as an Index/Home page?

I’ll post mine later, but I need to clean it up a bit.

Generally there a few sections:

• Ongoing projects: these are just links to other pages of stuff I currently have going on
• Next tasks. My system is to make everything immediately actionable as a task with #next, so it appears here
• Inbox: all quick notes that still live in Inbox/ and still need processing
• Last modified: effectively page order by lastModified desc rendered as links.

Well,
My personal instance’s index is not worth sharing as it just have 3 or 4 sections with the topics I am interested about right now, like: Linux, Music, or things like that.
I access everything through the Page picker.

The one at work is more polished:

• Main pages to all the main pages I need on a regular basis.
• Next Actions
• Tasks for the rest of the non-next tasks
• Recently updated

This is what my index page looks like.
The topics are hand-picked and vary from time to time.

Ah, lot of emoji enthusiasts. Love it

Thanks for posting these @zamuz , I had difficulty figuring out some queries and your solutions helped me a lot.

I used your “Recent pages” almost as-is, but reduced the item count and added a link to “All recents” view, with more recent items.

My index page.

I’ve been using SilverBullet for only about a week, so it’s nothing fancy (yet). I’m currently migrating my old notes and redoing the way I take notes/journal.

BTW: the links are manually organized by the way how often I access them.

My home/index page is mostly about task management. I have a few links to certain pages, but primarily is where I can see all the tasks that I am supposed to be working on.

Below is the contents of my index. I wanted to post a screenshot, but that will require me to move around a bunch of my todos.

• For most task listing sections, I separate it out by pages as I have a few main pages were I have tasks with deadlines
• I list out linear tickets that I am currently working on (more details here)
• I have a few buttons in the home page to go to daily note or do a git sync. I mainly use keybind for the former and is automatic for latter, but comes in handy at times.
• I sync my SB data to my phone using Syncthing and use Obisidian on my phone to view/edit the notes. The “Mobile Shares” section are links that I share into the Obsidian app on my phone. Using this as a read-it-later list.
• The completed today section helps with standups. I also have completed yesterday and completed last Friday in other pages.
• The recently modified pages section becomes useful when I am in a long research session.
• The Crumbs page is just links to random stuff that I find interesting (it is tagged for searching later).
