Am I mistaken or are all the note taking systems optimized for isolated usage? Some allow some form of communication by publishing notes but the last time I checked, there was no public pool of notes that were open for discovery. I would love to have a system where my notes are automatically linked with notes from other users who have the same ideas or goals.
Love love love obsidian. The tool is aesthetically pleasing, built-in vim mode surprisingly well (a few minor glitches with the cursor blinking) — but above all else, the plug-in community takes the cake. Finally, a note taking application with a decent API that's allowed me to extract metadata and publish metrics into CloudWatch, allowing me to track key metrics and graphically[0] review historical trends of my "sec…
Did you try https://logseq.com/ ? I've had not reason to pick freemium Obsidian over open source Logseq.
It's also been fun to see how rapidly the plugin ecosystem has grown. The community is so friendly and creative.
I have contributed a few things of my own, notably Minimal theme[0]. When I was asked to help lead the new UI for 1.0 it was a dream come true. I am really proud of how it turned out. We were able to make a lot of the app feel more native across platforms. I'm also excited to see what new themes pop up that use the new theme system which is much simpler and more flexible.
1.0 is an amazing milestone, and one you don't get to celebrate often. It's so much fun to see all the love in the comments.
Funny, that was the exact title of my personal wiki that I started in 2006 or so.
Side Note: If you folks would like a portable version for Windows (non-installable version that can run from a cloud folder, portable drive, etc), let me know. PortableApps.com has a few Electron-based apps now.
Love Obsidian. My main problem with it and similar markdown apps for notes is the way they store images and attachments. I find it very confusing to maintain multiple files per note and IMO the only app that nailed it is FSNotes[1] using the textbundle[2] format (with a custom implementation for encrypted notes too). I think it's elegant and future-proof. But FSNotes is for the Apple ecosystem only and I can't tie my…

From their licensing: "You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people." I imagine that applies to many of us. How many people are looking to use Obsidian purely for personal use?
$50/user/yr is about $4/mo. I struggle to understand the mentality that deems that unreasonable. It'd be a bargain at 5x the price.

That said Obsidian and Logseq are interoperable since they both run on a local folder of plain text files. Meaning you can switch over to Logseq for your outlining needs and use Obsidian for everything else.
(slightly biased since I helped on Obsidian 1.0, but I am a lover of all plain text tools)
A few tips for those new to Obsidian: - Don't rush to install a bunch of plugins. Start with the defaults, learn Obisidian and add only what you need. It is easy for some to spend more time tweaking Obsidian than actually using it. - If you're a macOS user, check out the Minimal theme, which will make Obsidian feel more native. -> https://minimal.guide/Home - When you are ready for plugins, you may want Omnisearch[1]…
Obsidian is great but I haven't had much luck with plugins. They often break after upgrades and most are not maintained. Perhaps that will change after the 1.0 release, at least the breaking problem
I mean. This is what v1.0 is for.
