A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

This thread gave me flashbacks to the Evernote 10 controversy that happened nearly two years ago. I didn't use Evernote <i>that</i> much prior to the fallout, but when that happened I was hesitant to continue using it. I fell into a rabbit hole of searching for note apps, and I decided to use OneNote for that (as well as Apple Notes). Then I ran into Obsidian[0] and after looking at its features on noteapps.info[1], I decided to bite the bullet and use it. And wow, I don't regret it one bit. I did use it a good amount in the past, but with the release of its mobile app and the amount of plugins we have now, I've been using it as my daily knowledge management app for several months now. It's also completely based on local markdown files, so you're not as locked in compared to other apps. It's completely free as well. You <i>do</i> have to pay if you want to use their own syncing service, but again, it's based on local files so you can easily sync by making your vault a Google Drive folder or some other method (some even use Git to sync their files!) And I cannot stress how fantastic the community is enough. There are so many amazing plugins and people have done so much crazy shit with their notes. The community is also extremely helpful and welcoming. Eleanor Konik runs a newsletter called Obsidian Roundup[2], which basically summarizes any recent plugins, discussions, shared workflows, events, etc. That happened in the week. She also has a page for Obsidian resources[3]. Wow this turned out longer than I expected. [0] https://obsidian.md/.
