Forever Notes on Obsidian
WIP. Architecture is still not finalised
Forever Notes Link to heading
Forever Notes is a framework for Apple Notes. It introduces a concept that is very similar to Periodic Notes in Obsidian. However, one major difference is how Daily Notes are organised. Forever Notes takes inspiration from the concept of Multi Year Diaries where a page for a date has sections for multiple years.
I tried to bring this feature to Obsidian

These are the plugins necessary to implement this in Obsidian

Daily Link to heading
Title Link to heading
By default, the title of a Daily Note in Obsidian contains a year. You just need to drop the year part of the name to make a single day work across multiple years. I went with MMMM Do(June 21st) for the format.
Template Link to heading
The links at the beginning, the quote and section headers can be generated in a Templater template.
However, the current year is not part of this template. So before starting the entry, you must invoke another template or manually type the current year and day of the week in h2 format (YYYY dddd).
