Obsidian. Total game changer. Obsidian sync is completely worth paying for as well - firstly it helps support the project but also its slick, so well made, and easier than all the hacked together GitHub / s3 / whatever workarounds. From a content point of view I personally find having structure but not too much structure is the way to go. A bit of yaml if needed but just a gentle “daily notes = meeting notes” (on my…

I really wish that Obsidian Sync had like... 5 megs for free or something. I can't justify paying $8/month for a thing I haven't even started using, and without sync I have a hard time saying "OK let's try this" compared to Joplin or Notion. There's a bunch of cool looking stuff though

I did some quick git scripts with cron on mac, and windows scheduler to automatically sync between locations. Unfortunately the only git sync plugins I found only worked with password based auth on android.

Aside from not being easily accessable by phone, this works and the .obsidian folder shares the environment + plugins ( minus one for open tab/window layout ).

If anyone has a solution to the lack of git android ssh auth problem I'm all ears though.

> A bit of yaml if needed but just a gentle “daily notes = meeting notes” (on my work obsidian) and “daily notes = journal” (on my personal one), a few tags but nothing too rigid or cumbersome.

Can you explain this one? I use it and the daily note thing bugs me since I would rather separate work and personal in the same value, but I did not know I could fix it.

What didn’t work for you with OneNote? It supports AES encryption and inter-page linking.

OneNote sync conflicts effectively destroyed a document for me, with changes splintered across both copies. All my Inking across the copies had unequal offsets making merging impossible. I had to transcribe everything to text manually and trash the document. This was back when the "new" OneNote was still "new".

The infinite document length paradigm also made it impossible to print and review notes; text would slice mid-height across pages.

I know people who swear by the desktop version of OneNote, though...

Joplin is great try it. I self host mine, it syncs between devices, encrypted notes.

I did! The notes are stored in a local DB (SQLite, IIRC) that were not encrypted on disk while the app was running.

I've been using syncthing to sync between my desktop, laptop, server, and phone for over a year and it works well.

Was thinking the same thing reading this. I use my daily note as the main launchpad for everything I'm writing each day, I add random thoughts in there and link out to separate notes for bigger tasks/ideas/information.

The daily node is so useful because when I look at an old resource I can see from the back links exactly when I had taken notes on it before and go to that daily note to see any additional context of what I was doing that day.

I use Trello for task management and jotting down things to investigate later.

I use iCloud instead and it works great.

Syncthing + org-mode is the winning combo for me

With org-roam and roam-ui you have a perfect visualization. It's a bit lacking on mobile, been trying logseq on and off but it's so buggy.
