Persistent reminders. TickTick's implementation is good.
what is a persistent reminder?
It keeps spamming notifications until you act on it. Very helpful if you need some help with attention.

Re: Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks
#62I 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.
FWIW, their CEO seems quite set on long-term growth instead of a quick sell, as evidenced by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39336308

Re: Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks
#63This is really the missing puzzle piece for my Obsidian setup, and therefore was an insta-buy. However important recomemndation though: I selected "enable syncing" in the onboard process and your app proceeded to sync every single task from my entire vault. I am watching the number climb into the hundreds. There should be some kind of warning that this will happen, and/or some way to filter which tasks sync (ie: tags…
Thank you, this is the second request I had for filtering so I will add it.

#64Very cool. Reminders is one of those Apple Apps that has proper API.
So anyone can integrate with it.
I've build two apps on top of it: 1. macOS habits tracker https://apps.apple.com/us/app/alto-computer/id6478018751?mt=... 2. small web app to publish my daily habits online https://public.me/anton/daily

I used Evernote for well over a decade and I don’t regret that I did, despite the changes that eventually forced me to get rid of it and change my habits. There is already a growing ecosystem of tools that are Obsidian-like, and if Obsidian ever went down an unpalatable path, those tools are ready and waiting. If a no frills editor works for you, great. But at the same time, I don’t think a future problem with Obsidi…
> There is already a growing ecosystem of tools that are Obsidian-like, and if Obsidian ever went down an unpalatable path, those tools are ready and waiting. can you name a few? i have currently installed and enabled 65 plugins. Granted, that is mostly because the obsidian team does not know how to build a good product, leading me to use plugins. but even then, the functionality is not that bad (templater, book sear…
Logseq is at the top of the list and would be the most similar/robust in terms of linking, visualizations and plugins [0]. It’s also open source, and I think a lot of development would shift in this direction if Obsidian ever angered the community.
Roam Research is also conceptually similar but I’ve spent less time digging into the tooling.
I’ve also been keeping an eye on Zettlr and Joplin, but these are not as flexible and their usefulness would depend on how you’re using Obsidian.
I misplaced the link to the repo right, but there was a “universal markdown notes migrator” project I found on GH back when I was evaluating Obsidian that looked promising and the goal was to facilitate movement between tools.

#66Excellent, I was just thinking about something like this a couple of weeks ago.

Nice homage to Boards of Canada!

As a matter of fact, Evernote still works and is improving fast.
Re: Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks
#68Thank you, an excellent tool and works well so far. It was a nice easy setup, you already convinced me to purchase the lifetime pro to say thanks. Gotta support indie developers in an ecosystem I use. A minor bug I noticed, you don't have media controls on the demo video on your website. I had to right-click and select play, clicking the video didn't start it either.
Thank you, it really means a lot! The video should autoplay so I hid the controls; I'll add them back though as I guess autoplay is flakey.

For me Evernote peaked around 2014-2015. The native clients were fast and small and integrated well with the host platform. I haven't used it since around 2020, so I'm glad to hear they are actually working on it.
I subscribed on the Plus plan for 8 years at $35 / year. Now the personal plan is $130 / year. I used it maybe once a week so for me that would be $2 every time I launch it. It just isn't worth it.

I started getting the same feeling and so switched to Logseq and have been very happy.
