Obsidian.md Landing Page

Obsidian.md

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.

Apple Notes for short-term stuff and Obsidian for longer-term material I will refer to again. Also, good old-fashioned pen and paper.

Marked

Marked takes Markdown text–a simple syntax you can learn in minutes–and turns it into beautiful...

I used Marked 2 for creating nicely-formatted proofs of articles etc. Integrates really well with Drafts and is just a pleasure to use.

Drafts

Quickly capture text on iOS and send it anywhere

Almost everything starts in Drafts. I can export from there directly to Google Docs, Word, Markdown, PDF... Probably even more. It's great.

The SQL is a DB I made to track projects from pitch to publication. I usually use Sequel Ace for day-to-day updating but if I'm in the mood to write more in-depth queries I'll jump into Atom and integrate that with some Python.
