+# MODIFICATION NOTES
+
+This is a modification of the Obsidian for Raycast extension originally developed by Marc Julian and now by Kevin Batdorf. On top of the great work by Marc and Kevin and the community, my modification is quite minor -- I added a "Ultra Note" action, which takes the best elements of the Add Task and Append Note actions and combines them into one. The Ultra Note allows you to specify a note template, the path of the note you wish to append to, the name of the heading in that note to append under, a prefix tag, and of course the name of the Obsidian vault you wish to use. This adds to rather than replaces the existing task and note actions.
+
+For example, I have specified this template for my notes: `* **{hour}:{minute}** {newline}    * {content}`
+
+This results in new note entries like so:
+
+* **23:59** 
+    * This is a sample of a note taken with Ultra Note, showcasing the auto timestamp and outline formatting.
+
+For the note path, I specify a note in the same folder as my daily note, which I embed in my daily notes via a template:
+`journal/{year}/{year}-{LL} {LLLL}/{year}-{LL}-{dd} {cccc}/{year}-{LL}-{dd} Notes`
+
+This becomes, e.g. `{{ Obsidian vault }}/journal/2024/2024-06 June/2024-06-29 Saturday/2024-06-29 Notes.md`
+
+This approach is useful if you like to maintain daily notes, and have them visible in a "display" daily note, but also accessible / editible in a simpler note-taking context, e.g. if your actual daily note contains weather forecast, news headlines, task tracking, and other matters.
