A personal knowledge-base is a great idea but you need to be able to easily reference it wherever you are. If I had a second brain I wouldn't leave it at home ;).
I mostly use Notion and just as an example say you're at the mechanic and they say "hey you got the VIN for your car handy?"
I pop open notion and its right there.
Looks great. Would be amazing if I could use it as an alternative frontend for my vimwiki, which is also markdown. Only thing missing is that links like these should work: [anchor](path) As that's the way vimwiki generates them :)
Can somebody help me understand something about Markdown and Obsidian? Why would I ever want an edit mode and a preview mode while taking notes? Don't I want to be able to both see my note and edit it at any time? I mean, I guess I could just ignore preview mode if the edit mode actually allowed me to see all of the content of my note, but it doesn't. Images are only visible in preview mode. So all the talk about tra…
Can't comment on the merits of the product itself. That in the first five minutes of this post being online, several users more or less claim that this has changed their lives in their first-ever comment on HN strikes me as a little odd however. (Yes I'm aware that this is also my first-ever comment on HN.)

We're working on WYSIWYG but it's not an easy problem. Eventually we want editing to feel comfortable to everyone! :)

If I got you right, then you can just open the said tag in Obsidian and see all references to it as backlinks on the side panel.
Backlinks, thank you. That was the word I was trying to think of and describe exactly this, missed it by THAT much, heh-drinks more coffee . Cheers, I'll definitely be taking this for a spin
I have how to do that here: https://lesser.occult.institute/an-opinionated-approach-to-t... :)
I maintain an open source visual studio code plugin that organizes plaintext (md, tex, html you name it) files with a simple directive `@nested-tags: tag1, some/hierarchy/you/want`. I have been pretty lazy in regards to actively adding features to it though. I do have plans on adding a graph based visualization and to add more detailed views to simplify workflow. If you're interested in obsidian but don't want to be locked in, check it out.

I feel like I've seen a lot of similar apps like this posted to HN but as usual the main blocker for me is no mobile support.

That's good news for me, but apparently a lot of people don't feel the need for it. I'm still confused why. In general, are people switching modes or doing side-by-side or what?
