You can sync the folder (=vault) with any tool you prefer… including git.
yes but this is not feasible on obsidian mobile app, right?

Not seeing real-life examples is the most frustrating thing about JD in my opinion. Not John Noble's fault of course. In that spirit. My structure is below. - 10-19 Documents - 11 Scans - 12 Health - 13 Travel - 14 Contracts - 15 Home - 16 Visas - 17 Education - 18 Employment - 20-29 Finance - 21 Banks - 22 Bills - 23 Investments - 24 Taxes - 30-39 Hobbies - 31 Hiking - 32 Running - 33 Climbing - 34 Music - 35 Progra…
I’m really liking the look of this but I’m curious as for what happens if you have more than ten hobbies, for example?

Check out my Obsidian instance for my YouTube channel: https://notes.recursion.is
Please tell me this is compatible with Johnny decimals https://johnnydecimal.com/
The Open Source solution which serves me well for years has been TiddyWiki (1). Supports Tags and various modes of output. Each page one file or all in one, very open so recursive changes can be applied on the shell in plain files. (1) https://tiddlywiki.com/
I built a simple journal solution for myself two years ago. It sends an email every day and I can reply to it, and the response is stored in an SQLite database, in plain text. The db is on a remote server but copied to Dropbox every day (and in any case all the emails also exist in my sent folder). It is surprisingly effective at storing not just what I did with my day, but random thoughts and ideas, solutions to bug…
I'm somehow on the same boat as you. I've tried dozens of "fancy" tools but they never stuck. A plain text file, kind of a "flat wiki", that you can search with your text editor may be the grail of note taking. What I consider critical is to "tree-shake" it often to remove the cruft. Hints: - Tree-shake your notes each time you iterate them. You'll leverage your excitement and it won't be a chore. - Maintain part of…
Dokuwiki stores its pages in plain text, with a syntax designed to be readable in a text editor, outside the wiki.
The comments here made it sound exciting, but it seems like it's proprietary, which is a no-go for me. I'll stick to plain text file notes and the occasional org-mode for now.
As an open-source alternative, Joplin could be worth a look. It's a little different in terms of features, missing a lot of the linking which is kind of key to Obsidian's appeal, so maybe it's closer to Evernote. Still, they're fundamentally the same in terms of being a note-taking app built on folders of markdown files. It's quite actively maintained and improved too.
Obsidian is great, but in a way it's quite limited as it only replaces the note-taking app / text editor I used before. We're building something similar but more capable https://acreom.com .
Constructive criticism: change the name before it's too late. The immovable rule for good names is: they should be easy to pronounce and easy to type if you hear it from someone else. Obsidian is a good name. Workflowy is a good name. Acreom - I wouldn't know how to pronounce it. If someone told me "use acreom" I wouldn't know what to typo into google to find it. Also, a non-dark theme is a must.
Why?
