I'm switching to @obsdmd for note-taking. Until now I used either Todoist (for quick notes) or Google Docs (larger, persistent knowledge), but the former is not great beyond quick tasks, and the latter is horrible regarding the organization and linking. 🧵!
With @obsdmd everything is in local files. They have a sync service, but for the moment I'm using Dropbox and it's fine. And it's open source and there's a thrilling community that builds plugins. So, you own everything, that's nice.
I'm currently using it for:
- Daily journal: that's supported by a core plugin that works great. Template-based, the daily journal is automatically opened as you open the app.
- Content about Engineering Management. I'm moving a plain Google Doc where I was collecting notes.
For the EM content, I've installed some plugins:
- github.com/aidenlx/alx-folder-note so a folder has a default note
- github.com/zolrath/obsidian-auto-link-title so pasting a URL shows the title instead of the raw URL
- github.com/lynchjames/note-refactor-obsidian for creating linked notes from content
- github.com/simonpacis/obsidian-grammarly-plugin
Obsidian is awesome so far! I'll probably use it with a git repo for other kind of content (you can have multiple "vaults"). Looking forward to hearing your suggestions 🤗
