Map of content

Rationale

Source: Obsidian Rocks

Some say there are three different types of note-takers. They are:

• The architect
• The gardener
• The librarian

In a nutshell, architects like to plan, gardeners like to cultivate, and librarians like to collect.

A map of content is nothing more than a curated links page, like so:

# My First Map

- [redacted]
- [redacted]

Links are the key to creating good maps, the ability to click from one map to another allows you to "walk through" your garden. The beauty of MOCs is that it allows you to create first and worry about structure later. The key to creativity is to eliminate as much friction as possible, and MOCs are a great way to do this.

Listing related content dynamically using Obsidian bases

I created a Bases view in moc-insert and use the Virtual Content plugin to insert it into all my MOC files. Here's its definition:

```base
filters:
  and:
    - file.ext == "md"
    - file.name != this.file.name
    - or:
        - file.hasLink(this.file)
        - file.folder == this.file.folder
        - and:
	        - this.file.hasProperty("moc-tag")
	        - file.tags.contains(this.file.properties["moc-tag"])
views:
  - type: table
    name: Table
	groupBy:
		property: file.folder
		direction: ASC
	order:
		- file.folder
		- file.name
```
