Three months ago I created my first #Obsidian plugins. They are still not added to the plugin repository yet. I am waiting weeks for reviews by their bot, only for it to find another small quirk. Also, no comments or answers from the team.
Not a great contribution experience so far. 😕

There are people in this world smart enough to write articles for money, yet the articles they write are about how hard it is to use #Obsidian, an app that creates plain text files. I don't get what's so hard. I'm an old man with no college and not a developer and I can do it. #pkm #ObsidianMD

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.

You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).

But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:

A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)

Continued thread

Inzwischen sind die Charakter der Spielys und ihre Hintergründe sowie NSC, Orte, Organisationen und diverse Gegenstände eingepflegt.

Im grossen und ganzen ist der #Obsidian Vault damit bereit für den Spielstart.

Sehr entspannend dem Graph beim wachsen zuzusehen.

@bastian_S ICh überlege gerade, welche ANwendungen bei mir eher nischig sind, und doch relevant genug für Umsteiger.
Kürzlich habe ich #logseq für mich entdeckt: eine komplett freie Alternative zu #obsidian . Und ich kombiniere es nach etwas gefrickel direkt mit einem zweiten sehr coolen Tool: #syncthing erlaubt über Betriebssystemgrenzen hinweg, Ordner zwischen Geräten zu synchronisieren ohne Cloud dazwischen.

Just for clarification: same holds true for any other markup supported by pandoc, not just #Markdown.

However, if you stick with a syntax language that doesn't come with this explosion of flavors, you have less issues converting your data - in some cases you don't even have to convert at all any more.

The issue with Markdown is that its original form defined a small minimum of elements and each tool defined its own potentially incompatible extensions. With other #LML, the "original" or its standard defines the maximum set of elements and therefore, there is no need for "flavors" and no data loss or conversion effort.

HTH

currently #Obsidian for Android requires full file access permissions because it's necessary for certain third-party sync tools and interoperability — but some users prefer narrower permissions

in an upcoming version we're adding this option, do the tradeoffs make sense here?

I'm wondering if there is some kind of app to store data for courses, that is, lectures, videos, etc. Currently I'm using #obsidian, but adding a few gigs of video lectures will probably be a bit too much for something... Maybe there is some #selfhosted tool?

Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!
