I would love to have exactly this but for Omnifocus! I currently do it with Shortcuts but is limited to one way sync which is very inconvenient. Having the task in context on Obsiadian but also nicely organized and actionable in a task manager is great.

#22Why does no one use Logseq? I prefer it to Obsidian after using both
I wanted to like Logseq, but I couldn't stand how opinionated it is about the format of my notes. Also, at least on Ubuntu 22, there was a noticeable delay when interacting with any UI element.

#23As in the other comments here, I use Obsidian but avoid making it tightly coupled with my workflows. I like the fact that I can walk away when needed.
I used reminders a lot earlier, but I have stopped using them these days. I continue to use Calendars and Notes. Between the two, the need for reminders has gone from my workflow. If I need reminding and have a date/time, it is calendared. If I need a Checklist (Shopping), it is in a Note or part of a Note (e.g., Shared Shopping List with your partner).

#24Many apps lack a good means of triggering "reminders" on iOS and MacOs. Apple seems to keep the secret sauce to themselves. 3rd party apps just miss the mark IMO. However, the reminders app itself leave a lot to be desired. So something like this that ties a great app into what the native apps reminders is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
What features is the Reminders app missing? I switched from Things to Reminders and didn't notice any missing features. Not doubting your statement - I'm genuinely curious to know what functionality might be lacking in Reminders that I'm unaware of.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, having a non-proprietary data format is a huge plus. I wish the Obsidian code itself was open source.
It’s hard to make a living with open source (saying from experience).
Sadly, that's true, and my frustration with the constant churn of software is no reflection on the good people making Obsidian.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
For me, the nice part about Obsidian is that they're just markdown files. So even if something happens to Obsidian, the notes still exist and are still easily transferrable to something else.
Markdown isn’t immune to deprecation in the Obsidian ecosystem - I have files with random junk in the headers leftover from failed attempts to integrate some data management plugin or regime.
So? Does it matter much for some reason? That doesn’t seem like a compatibility issue.

Interesting -- I like the bullets and the 'restrictiveness'

#28I love Obsidian, but mostly use a filter (dataview) to deal with my tasks and overview. Most of the time on Windows and Linux. I do not use my macBook a lot. Only for testing the application we work on, so not very familiar with Reminders, though I like the idea. How do you properly link them up as they might go out of sync (loose relation) if one of the texts gets changed.

#29I love Obsidian - its approach, the ecosystem, and the implementation. But... I can't help but feel it will become the latest application to either pivot to something unpalatable (probably after being acquired) or become abandonware, leaving me to move to Yet Another Tool. And so it prevents me from really investing in any of it - I just use a no-frills text editor.
To me, Obsidian just isn't sticky, so I already have pivoted to Amplenote. It's been the tool that I consistently use for note taking and personal task tracking.

#30Why does no one use Logseq? I prefer it to Obsidian after using both
I use LogSeq with the TODO plugin giving me a sidebar view of outstanding TODOs. It would be wonderful to have a similar plugin for LogSeq but of course the onus is on me to make that happen. If someone were working on such an integration I would gladly support it via Patreon or open collective, etc…
