#3Is it just me or was anybody else not sure what Obsidian was while reading this article?
The article doesn't explain it at all, so I'm left wondering if I'm incredibly out of the loop or whether this is a very niche thing that I haven't run into yet.

The article definitely assumes you know that 'Obsidian' is a reference to the text editor found at https://obsidian.md/

it's a note taking app. a very rad one at that.
context is not part of the orange site culture unfortunately.

#8> What helps me a lot is to have a new sheet of paper for each day - this is my base of operations - I jot down what I am working on and when I am interrupted, I can simply go back to where I was.
Many people use the daily note. It's even built into Obsidian due to the popularity, but it's never worked for me. I'm referencing previous notes and copying data around rather than doing my work. Weekly notes work much better for me. During peak work times, a monthly note is better still. Once you feel like you're fiddling with your system too much, you tend to avoid it.

#9diagraming is not note taking
mind mapping is not note taking
i dont think i will ever be sold on overly visual note taking tools
emacs org mode, is a unicorn, i dont know how they came up with it or they stumbled upon it, but its the golden standard
we just need a decent emacs on mobile devices that is it

It's kinda obvious from the context if you know that space, but yes, it's leaving out many explanations. It's not well written for random visitors.
Anyway, Obsidian is a knowledge-tool, using Markdown. It's for taking notes, collecting information and aims to support the user in building their network of knowledge. It's pretty powerful for a markdown-editor/manager, especially because it's supporting plugins, which is feeding a small community of developers bringing up all kind of ways to enhance Obsidian.
Obsidian is very popular and well known on this site, though attention for this space comes in waves, and I would say the big hype is over for the moment. So depending on what you read here, it's possible you just missed it.
