Perhaps you know someone who swears by Obsidian, it may seem like a cult of overly devoted people for how passionate they are, but it's not without reason
I've been using Obsidian for over 3 years, at a point in my life when I felt I had to handle too much information and I felt like grasping water not being able to remember everything I wanted, language learning, programming, accounting, university, daily tasks. A friend recommended it to me next to Notion (of which he is a passionate cultist priest) and I reluctantly picked it and fell in love almost immediately.
Obsidian seems very simple, like a notepad with folder interface, similar to Sublime Text, but the ability to link files together in a Wiki style allows you to organize ideas in any way you want, one file may lead to a dozen or more ideas that are related
If you want to do something specific, Obsidian has a plethora of community created plugins that expand the functionality, in my case, I use obsidian to organize my classes both as a teacher and as a student, using local databases, calendars, dictionaries, slides, vector graphic drawings, excel-like tables, Anki connection, podcasts, and more
I've been using Obsidian for more than a year. It's been great. I think it offer a great balance of control, flexibility and extensibility. What is more, you own your own data, that's been a must-have feature for me. I just can't imagine putting all my knowledge into something that I don't have control over.
I think two of the most popular alternatives that people consider are Logseq and Roam Research. Although Logseq is a bit different, it's considered compatible with Obsidian. Supposedly, you can use them with a shared database (files. Both use simple text files for storage). I tried that once, a few months ago. It worked, yet it messed up a bit my Obsidian files ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ.

Obsidian has become my long-term memory. Itโs a knowledge management app built around plain-text Markdown files. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago
Regex Replace is a plugin for Obsidian that allows you to run regex-based search and replace operations directly inside the editor. It comes with a convenient modal dialog, live preview of matches, and a preset system to save, overwrite, and delete commonly used regex operations. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago
Want receipts? The Obsidian community is full of devs who swear by their vaults. Logseq and Notion have similar cult followings. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
Every dev eventually needs a second brain. Thatโs where Obsidian comes in. Itโs a note-taking app built around Markdown files, but its graph view and plugin ecosystem make it special. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
So instead of dumping these into a CMS by hand, I decided to repurpose my Obsidian vault into a searchable wiki I can embed on my blog. Since everything is already in Markdown and includes metadata in frontmatter, I could skip the copy-paste slog and get straight to building something useful. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
