Summary

The user migrated from Notion and is missing Notion’s aesthetic and database features, specifically wanting more base view types and the ability to set default views for different embeds of the same database.

Key Insights

1. Desire for more database view types beyond existing core/community plugins.
2. Need for granular control over default views when embedding the same database in multiple locations.
3. Obsidian still lags behind Notion in out-of-the-box aesthetic and database view variety.

Enhancement Suggestions

No enhancement suggestions available

Analysis

This highlights a common pain point for Notion migrants: the limitations of Obsidian’s native database views compared to Notion’s flexibility. Requesting more view types and granular control over embedded views directly suggests features that would significantly improve database usability in Obsidian.
