Markdown editor that lets you add links to other files. You basically have a "project" consisting of a folder with various .md files.
How does it compare to wikis, eh? Isn't that what they do.
Between Obsidian, Roam, Amplenote, and Reflect it has certainly been a golden age for note taking over the last few years. It's hard to remember that it was only 5 years ago that second generation note apps like Evernote, Notion and Bear were the only viable options unless you wanted a 1st gen app like OneNote or Workflowy. What might be most interesting about the new set of fast moving note apps is that all seem to…
I'm still waiting on one of these upstarts to implement the most essential features of the "first gen" apps, like inking/handwriting.
I had onenote once, realized my handwriting was shit, and never tried to hand write notes again.
I see this as "Joplin, just not nearly as free (speech or beer)." Why would I pay monthly for sync and have no control, when I can already sync to my own s3 buckets and only pay for AWS storage and transfer? Is there a compelling reason to switch from Joplin to Obsidian? Honest question.
I'm really struggling to understand how Obsidian isn't free. Maybe I'm simply missing your point. There is no expectation that you use sync, it's simply an option for those that want it and are likely less tech oriented.
I think they mean free, as in free software. Obsidian is not free neither open source software.
Congratulations on the launch! I downloaded Obsidian for the first time last night and spent all morning customising it, so the timing for me couldn't be better. Quick note, on the website the download button for MacOS is delegating to " https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/releases/dow... " despite the button saying "Version 1.0.0", I believe it should be " https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/…
This tool is so expensive. I want to use it but for this to be an alternative to Notion you'd have to pay for Sync and Publish, which would come to $24/month. That is very pricey for many people.
Use iCloud/gDrive/dropbox for synching instead. Never had any issues.
I sync manually using Git, using a Work-repo, a Home-repo, and a Shared repo that is a Git submodule of both Work and Home. I never edit notes on my phone, but I can read them on GitHub or Dropbox. I have more than 1200 notes in Work ∪ Shared, and some more in Home.
Some of my essential plugins are: Dataview (Like inline SQL for querying notes), Natural Language Dates (entering current date easily), Minimal theme (just looks better).
Some builtin stuff that I love: Frontmatter metadata, Mermaid charts (graphviz-ish), inline \LaTeX rendering, daily notes and syntax highlighting.
I appreciate what Obsidian is and how it works, and congrats on 1.0! On the personal side, I dislike aesthetics and wouldn't ever use it 'cause of Electron, tho. I'm spoiled by native note-taking apps like Bear and Noteplan on macOS which have much nicer UX and UI, especially on mobile.

Current org-mode user here, former Obsidian user. Although much more extensible than apps like Joplin, Notion or - god forbid - Evernote, Obsidian comes nowhere near the freedom you have in Org-mode. You can customize Obsidian to fit your workflow to some extent, but not by a whole lot. Then again: for most people that is enough. Most want to drive a car, not build it. There is afaik no such thing as an org-agenda in…
Not an org-mode user. Would this be a set-up that creates an agenda that works (by using 2 extensions)? https://medium.com/geekculture/how-i-track-my-tasks-in-obsid... Dataview is such a great extension.
Also the fact that i can easily use syncing with E2E encryption (though not sure if it's been reviewed yet.. would be nice) is awesome.
