It keeps spamming notifications until you act on it. Very helpful if you need some help with attention.
I use the IOS "Due" app for this. I have it set-up to pull out items from Reminders that have days and times assigned. Makes it really hard to forget those tasks.
Why does no one use Logseq? I prefer it to Obsidian after using both

I used Evernote for well over a decade and I don’t regret that I did, despite the changes that eventually forced me to get rid of it and change my habits. There is already a growing ecosystem of tools that are Obsidian-like, and if Obsidian ever went down an unpalatable path, those tools are ready and waiting. If a no frills editor works for you, great. But at the same time, I don’t think a future problem with Obsidi…
> There is already a growing ecosystem of tools that are Obsidian-like That very much depends on the definition of "like". Most are very different in their concepts and abilities or even foundation. They are mostly similar, if you compare it to cloud-tools, or old commercial tools.
With that said, there are a few key tools that are extremely similar conceptually, e.g. Logseq/Roam. Logseq in particular feels like “Opinionated Obsidian”. And this is where most of the tooling growth has been occurring through plugins.

Granted, that is mostly because the obsidian team does not know how to build a good product, leading me to use plugins. but even then, the functionality is not that bad (templater, book sear…
The fact that the product is so extensible is a sign to me that they know how to build an excellent product. I'm currently using 1 community plugin and have only enabled a handful of the core plugins. I personally wish they would stop adding features to Obsidian. It feels complete to me.
and core features should be in core (dataview for example). what is most shocking though is that sync and publish are horrendous implementation of said features. i would kind of get it for other stuff but together they are 20 bucks plus tax per month. just now sync has 'merged' a note on my iphone (no changes on iphone though) and completely scrambled the note. same with another 3 notes. if i did not check the note by chance now, i would have missed it.
the entire UI around a sync feature is bad.

It’s not open source, just free as in beer. Personally I do avoid add-ons that create special syntax in the md files so that if Obsidian ever goes shitty I’ll have an easier time migrating to whatever alternative.
Sorry, the plugins are generally open source, that's what I was referring to.
If it ever comes to needing an Obsidian replacement I'd hope it can aim for compatibility with the plug-in ecosystem, at least initially. No idea how difficult a target that would be. Either way, I certainly worry about my data in Obsidian less than I worry about Evernote, OneNote, or Apple Notes, even with a couple of non-standard markdown additions.
Since it's not VC backed I'm hopeful about Obsidian building a long-term sustainable business without having to turn shitty, but who knows. I should sign up for Sync and give them some money.
Side note: it looks like the support email (remindersyncturquoisehexagon.co.uk) is malformed? Gmail is refusing to send emails to it.

I have used that, it's pretty nice! For now I settled on TickTick cause it's easy to use from my Linux laptop and my iOS devices. If you are fully Apple, Due is a good choice.
With TickTick you're storing / sharing your data with a commercial company...
Used obsidian for a while but had too many pains with it. Eventually migrated to SuperNotes and couldn’t be happier.
Shame...
Is anyone else experiencing issues with off-by-one dates? If I set a date of 2024-03-20 on an Obsidian task (today), I'm getting a Reminder out the other side with a due date of 2024-03-19 (yesterday).
