I am working on a system for independent websites that is akin to this. rather than focusing on notebooks, I decided I wanted to make a system for making websites from notes.

it's going to be incorporating a few features like distributed hosting, version control, offline and archive modes and distribution. client driven content and work on adding new plugins.

| “A second brain, for you, forever” My biggest issue is no mobile app. It’s can’t really claim to be a second brain if it’s only accessible at your computer

According to the forums, there will be a mobile app eventually.

In the mean time, there are other apps that can work with your markdown files when you're away from your computer:

You'll want to look into gitjournal. It won't work well large vaults (no wikilinks)... but it works for a separate vault with the files I want on the go. That would be shopping lists and the ol' do-queue. Dendron, a vscode extension is also a great alternate/partner to Obsidian. They both have they're strengths and they play well together as they have converged on a future-proof spec of Markdown+wikilinks+LateX. Plus you can already Publish with it using 11ty! e.g: https://texdeck.com

Looks amazing. Having recently moved to a Macbook as my daily machine, I was missing Notepad++ immensely. I had a portable version of the ap stored in my Dropbox and would have 100s of tabs opened in it accessible from anywhere.

Hoping to get some of that functionality back with Obsidian.
