The only thing I miss is a more acessible price for brazilians in Obsidian Sync (1 USD ≈ 5.50 BRL, that is too much). I know I can sync it using other tools, but I feel the native tool would be the best of the scenarios).
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 have been using scrivener as my note taking app. It’s actually made for writers and for researchers to make their work (books, essays) but as a note taker it’s very versatile. https://www.literatureandlatte.com/
1) Basic synchronization is a paid feature and you cannot (or at least could not) set up a private synchronization server.
2) Synchronization depends on the cloud. I simply cannot trust all important information of my life going to an unspecified location in the cloud for synchronization, even if it promises end-to-end encryption. The fact that the source is closed and it is a small company aggravates that immensely.
Which is why I'm using Trilium now. It's a bit more limited (no app) but has a web clipper extension and it is open source, so I can do changes or quick fixes if needed. I also synchronize with my own server, running behind a VPN.
For mobile, I'm pulling all tabs using adb and a couple of scripts, and it has been working nicely for my use case (mostly archival/planning).
Obsidian has made so much of my PhD process easier and smoother, and I've increasingly depended on it in real life as well. Amazing team but absolutely stellar community of passionate and kind people. Bravo!

Handwriting I find completely useless, but drawing on a display can be quite OK even for me
theres a plugin for that - https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin
Still love Obsidian - just wish drawing on it was a viable option.

There's an excalidraw plugin that helps with this to a degree.
This plugin misses mark big time. I tried it and tried it again. Trying to love it... just couldn't compare with OneNote.
Goodnotes, Apple notes, and OneNote still leagues better for Apple Pencil support.

I'm still waiting on one of these upstarts to implement the most essential features of the "first gen" apps, like inking/handwriting.
Excalidraw works pretty well in obsidian. I didn't like it the first time but I'm increasingly getting used to it
I installed Obsidian and did some initial testing, but two things completely threw me off: 1) Basic synchronization is a paid feature and you cannot (or at least could not) set up a private synchronization server. 2) Synchronization depends on the cloud. I simply cannot trust all important information of my life going to an unspecified location in the cloud for synchronization, even if it promises end-to-end encrypti…

It’s not often that I see a mention of Workflowy in the wild. I know there is better out there, but Workflowy and Apple Notes are the ones I already use and I’m unsure whether the others are better enough to be worth the switching costs.
