The sync pricing is frustrating. You can choose between free (single device only), and surprisingly expensive for a low-volume file sync mechanism. Of course I understand there are good reasons for it. It is so difficult to find a paying customer for anything, that it's impractical to price below a cost threshold. LTV > CAC. Would love to see something like “$200 to enable the a peer-to-peer sync engine forever”, i.e…
Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app

Re: Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
#212Questions for users - if we work in an environment where we cannot install applications (and no this wont be approved) are we able to use this still, or is it only going to be viable for a "personal" machine. I ask as i can think of several times ive been stuck with just a work laptop or similar and it would suck to not at least have a browser version or something. Thanks

#214Huge fan; Obsidian is at the center of my personal system for PKM / TFT (note-taking, todos, journaling, devnotes, bookmarks, sketches... ). It's like an OS for .md files. It's so powerful and extensible, via eg WYSIWYG editor, Excalidraw integ, Readwise Reader integ, home for my Remarkable2 notes and drawings, etc. Amazing community too.
How are you integrating your Remarkable2? So far I have the two separate, and sometimes have to cross-reference. It would be nice to find a way to integrate them better.

#216Between 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.

#217Not having used any of the graph based note taking/knowledge tools like Obsidian, logseq, Athens Research or Roam -- I was wondering if anybody has tried them for collaborative knowledge management? Obsidian seems to be single user based, Athens is "collaborative" and "for startup teams". But does anybody actually have any experience using a graph based knowledge tool for your teams knowledge management?

My thoughts exactly. It sounds cool and I will try it, but even at this moment I'm not sure how is this different then for example OneNote. Again, don't want to sound disrespectful and I will definitely try the tool.
As a former OneNote user who moved to Obsidian, I would say it's like comparing a go kart and luxury sedan. They both technically get you where you're going if you try hard enough. And if you're not going very far maybe all you need is a go kart. My obsidian has turned into a personal Wikipedia and it's crazy how much it's improved my efficiency.

Uh, this can’t be true cause I have my Obsidian mobile vault set to my iCloud and use that for syncing and backup and it works pretty much perfectly.
It allows iCloud or obsidian syncing. I tried to set it up with Dropbox because I didn’t trust iClouds conflict resolution and couldn’t get it to work.
