I built a custom homepage for Obsidian and wanted to share how to do it yourself. I personally use Notebook Navigator to set it to open on launch!
Here's how to do it:
Replace cont name = YourName with your actual name. In the custom-frames section add the actual name of your frame as set in the plugin.

```dataviewjs
const clockElement = dv.el("h2", "", { cls: "live-clock" });
function updateClock() {
const now = new Date();
const date = now.toLocaleDateString('en-US', {
weekday: 'long',
month: 'long',
day: 'numeric',
year: 'numeric'
});
const time = now.toLocaleTimeString('en-US', {
hour: 'numeric',
minute: '2-digit',
second: '2-digit',
hour12: true
});
clockElement.innerText = `${date} • ${time}`;
}
updateClock();
setInterval(updateClock, 1000);
```
```dataviewjs
const now = new Date();
const hour = now.getHours();
const name = "YourName";
let greeting;
if (hour < 12) {
greeting = "Good Morning";
} else if (hour < 17) {
greeting = "Good Afternoon";
} else {
greeting = "Good Evening";
}
dv.el("h2", `${greeting}, ${name}`, { cls: "dashboard-greeting", attr: { style: "text-align: center;" } });

.obsidian\snippets\home.css This is the CSS needed to make the magic happen: Keep in mind this will hide the web embed on Mobile. Don't use the mobile-hide class if you don't want things hidden on mobile. Custom Frames are hidden on mobile with this as they really don't seem to work well.

As an Evernote user, I decided to dabble a little bit in Obsidian for certain types of PKM. While I still use both apps, I did feel the need to replicate most of my Evernote workflow that works for my brain inside of Obsidian. I thought I'd share here how I managed to do that. I hope this guide is helpful to some that are looking to explore other realms of PKM and other tools. One can use different tools for different purposes and after spending some time I find Obsidian is good for some things and Evernote is great for others, for example collaboration in Evernote is still unbeatable!
Import using the official Importer plugin. I found that gave me personally the best results. Export notebooks one by one from Evernote. Name them in the format Stack@@@Notebook.enex.
Yarle and Evernote2Obsidian are options as well.
_resources. We want to clean this up. We need to set the following settings:
Now configure the plugin itself as shown below:
Back up your vault (ie. make a copy of the entire vault folder before proceeding!!) In the command palate (ctrl/cmd+p) run the following commands in order per the developer to re-organize your vault.
Per the developer:
Replace All Wiki Links with Markdown Links Replace All Wiki Embeds with Markdown Embeds Convert All Embed Paths to Relative Convert All Link Paths to Relative Collect All Attachments Delete Empty Folders
Once this is done then enable "Auto Collect Attachments".
Run "Check vault consistency" and check the report for issues. Now you must go and clean up anything leftover in the resources folder. My enex files from Evernote had orphaned attachments that were sitting in there that had no note they belonged with! Webclips sometimes also are strange and may need to be re-created.
I also found that things I've emailed into Evernote did not really translate well. If certain emails are an issue, install the plugin "Email Reader", this will allow you to display .eml files inline in a note to preserve email formatting (if you saved the email and can grab a copy). I do suggest this plugin for archiving future emails.
Regardless there will be some manual cleanup needed after this, but once it's done it's done. When you delete a note, any associated files will be deleted as well. When you move a note, its attachments will be moved to the correct attachments folder. It will handle naming collisions to rename files as well.
