Note taking app. It's good. Missing a couple of features.

before i go trying it out... it looks a lot like a personal wiki? RTF etc?
Yes. Offline notes in markdown. So cross-platform.
Great UI, 'Mind-mapping' thing that everybody wants, backlinking to other notes, markdown, offline (so private notes).
Other alternatives - roam research, notion, etc

#8Obsidian is a fantastic app and completely free. You also store the data yourself.

#9My current working model (WIP).
1. Write in Markdown. Stay as less markup as possible and tend towards plain text.
2. Organize/Categorized into folders; such as -- parenting, entrepreneurship, startup, homelab, books, etc.
3. Choose a really simple publisher (Jekyll for now). I sprinkle the least front matter in the header of each file. So, I can publish the selected ones online for me, friends, and family.
4. Let Obsidian look over it (it drops just one folder .obsidian), write with it sometimes. I don't want any tool taking over, chewing it and making smart decisions for me.
My focus are those files inside the folders. I should be able to just replace Jekyll or Obsidian in future without losing the integrity of my content.

if only they had iOS app.
Using Notion.io because of that, but i would change to Obsidian when they have it.
There is a workaround of storing the md files in iCloud and using a markdown editor like 1Writer to open and edit them. But you loose some functionality with that.
