Hi Hunters, Nick here 👋 One year ago, we launched Obsidian Flight School 1.0 on Product Hunt. Now we’re back with a MASSIVE new release with Obsidian Flight School 2.0. It has 100+ brand new videos, all brand new simulations and exercises, 50+ new notes, 600+ new links, and now clocks in at over 50,000 words—which is longer than The Great Gatsby. OFS is a uniquely immersive and hands-on training kit focused on getting you to fly around Obsidian more confidently and faster than ever before. What would being faster with Knowledge do for you? There is nothing like Obsidian Flight School on the market. It is the most immersive & hands-on training program for any notes app in existence. That may sound like a bold statement—and I'm willing to be corrected—but once you try it I think you will agree: there is simply nothing else like OFS. It’s more true than ever: once you get fast with Obsidian, then you can really start thinking closer to the "Speed of Thought". 🤦‍♂️ Problem Working with ideas is hard. Making leaps of insights with your notes is even harder. We have too many lost notes. And it doesn't help hopping from app to shiny app. Well, you finally found Obsidian, but how do you use it? That is what Obsidian Flight School is for. Get ready to work faster than ever before. But to do this, you need to work on the right stuff and get the reps. That's right. YOU have to put in the work. Flight School is your guide and OFS 2.0 makes it more accessible than ever before. 🙌 Solution If you want to get better at Obsidian then stop passively watching videos. You need to start actually practicing in the app itself. Flight School will help you do the following: ⚡️ Work faster than ever before. 🧩 Learn the best ways to rapidly create and open notes, effectively utilize Autocomplete, and effortlessly refactor text. 🧢 Get reps and drill exercises & simulations to unlock your full potential. 2.0 has updated and redesigned these substantially both for better accessibility and to stay up-to-date with changes in Obsidian 🎨 Customize your themes, display panels, plugins, hotkeys, and functions to fine-tune your thinking experience. 🚀 Fly around your notes and ideas faster than ever before. 🎮 Have fun doing it. Earn awards, follow the narrative, Flight School is a learning experience unlike anything else. ♻️Lifetime updates. From the very beginning, we’ve promised access to lifetime updates for all owners of Obsidian Flight School and the same is true for you. They’re unlocking access to OFS 2.0 as a free update right now. 💯 Flight School has been trusted by over 1500 paying students from around the world. It is without a doubt one of the most engaging learning tool out there. And it is generating the intended results: people are getting faster, more skilled, and more confident with Obsidian. 🎁 Get $20 off from Jan 12-13 only. 🎯 My deepest goal with Obsidian Flight School is that it inspires other teachers in online education to incorporate the paradigm of *Lean Forward Learning* into their own educational products and services. Unfortunately, no one else has been able to create an immersive, hands-on learning experience for a note application like Obsidian Flight School. I hope that changes in 2023, but for now, we will continue to lead by example and hope that others continue this powerful approach to education. I believe online programs designed like Flight School are just the beginning of a deeper level of digital learning. Sitting back and passively watching instructional videos is easy, but the results are far weaker. Instead, the “Flight School formula" forces you to grab the controls and “learn by doing”. 📽 If you want to learn more about how I incorporated "Lean Forward Learning" into Obsidian Flight School, check out this video: https://youtu.be/d4sB9eJVLLA 🗣 It’s great to be here. Please comment or ask away and I'll do my best to answer below!

Super job Nick, I’m eager to post this with Obsidian Keep Productive lovers! 👏🏼 Great work! As always!

Love it, @nickmilo ! Thanks for your consistent efforts to extoll the virtues of Obsidian in such thoughtful and creative ways. Logging into Flight School - just that opening shot of the hangar - is always exciting. I'm soooo glad I grandfathered myself in back in the day :)

Congrats on the launch! Amazing work! 🎉

OFS 1.0 was great, but based on what I have seen so far of OFS 2.0, it's a huge update and improvement. It is a great way to get started using Obsidian, or to improve your skills even if you have been using Obsidian for a while. OFS is filled with exercises so you don't just read about things, you practice them until you have ingrained them into your habits. And because OFS 2.0 is an Obsidian vault itself, everything you do is in Obsidian, not in a separate tool or Web interface. I am looking forward to refreshing and honing my skills in Obsidian with Obsidian Flight School 2.0.

Nick, awesome work. A terrific way to kick off the New Year. Obsidian Flight School 2.0 is for anyone interested in mastering Obsidian, getting their life organized, and their second brain - intentions -> productive.

Nick awesome work! A great way to kick off the New Year. Obsidian Flight School 2.0 is for anyone who wants to master Obsidian, but it's also a great PKM Power tool that helps you organize your life and take your second-brain intentions to the next level.

Flight School helps you play the keyboard in Obsidian as if you are learning to play the piano. It‘s a training programme aimed at mastery learning, combining muscle memory and coherent organization of your thoughts and notes.

Just purchased yesterday. Looking forward to digging in and becoming an Obsidian pilot. Really impressed with the flow of the course and the gamification elements.

This little gem is the ultimate learning device for Obsidian. It is the unofficial manual for the unconventional way Obsidian approaches data in a linked environment. Here you can save yourself hours and hours of finding the right way of structuring your data in Obsidian while at the same time getting tons applicable knowledge right at your fingertips. Lean back and enjoy the first guided lessons, then, as you feel that the reins get more loose and loose feel the curiosity that guides your progress in mastering the art of getting from a pile of MD files to a self-relating productive network of ideas. You can tell that I am a fan ;-)

Obsidian Flight School (OFS) 2.0 review meeting on 2023-01-11 was an excellent overview of all the updates. The new OFS version is a must have resource for note making users who want to operate Obsidian with more speed and pleasure.

Absolutely fantastic resource to build your skills in Personal Knowledge Management and Obsidian. When it comes to tutorials, Nick is the go to man with the Obsidian Flight School. I invested in an earlier version and it supercharged my learning of Obsidian, note making, plugins and linked notes. Highly recommended.

OFS 2.0 is just an excellent upgrade to an already awesome product. If one puts in the time, you can't help but become an Obsidian Jedi working on all the informative, exciting and challenging exercises Nick and the awesome LYT team created. This just reenforces the joy of expressive, insightful note creating. I am an alumni of Workshop 8 and that was a great experience as well. The LYT team are rock stars for this great product!

Love using Obsidian at a very basic level so this should make me even more productive - Excited to try it out

Obsidian is a shining gem on the journey of productivity, and like any journey, we have the choice to tread the path on foot or soar through the skies. Nick offers the wings to fly. OFS is a comprehensive, enjoyable and best-practice based tool. I am thrilled to see the launch of its new version 2 and eagerly anticipate being a part of the journey.

If only all learning of software tools was this immersive!

I purchased the Obsidian Flight School 1.0 and was highly pleased with the results. My navigation skills and confidence using Obsidian significantly improved. The latest version, Obsidian Flight School 2.0, appears to be an even more substantial improvement on the original product. If you want to improve your knowledge and skills in using Obsidian, I highly recommend @nickmilo Obsidian Flight School.

On one hand, this looks super cool. But on the other hand, needing an entire manual to learn obsidian freaks me out a little 😳

Very excited to start flight school and learn to use Obsidian better. I've been so impressed with all of your content and products @nickmilo and am looking forward to learning how to build my PKM system in the upcoming Linking Your Thinking course as well!

OMG! If you are new or even have experience in Obsidian, there's no better way to learn the ins and outs and a bunch of clever tips and tricks that will catapult the speed recording and processing of your ideas and truly create your own personal operating system.
