   The kind of software that may change your life

   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

   Competitors: Notion, Evernote

   Pros:    Awesome community|Custom plugins|Local hosting|Beautiful themes|Highly customizable|Cloud storage|Becomes more useful over time|Markdown support

   Cons:    Seems complicated/complex at first|Takes time to set up your personal workspace|Overwhelming for first time user

   My personal knowledge-base of choice

   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 ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

• I Built SelfContext So I Could Stop Re-explaining Myself to AI

  The vault is compatible with Obsidian because the files are just Markdown, YAML frontmatter, and standard relative links. - Source: dev.to / about 4 hours ago

• Which Markdown editor to choose

  Inline preview, usually called WYSIWYG. Obsidian's Live Preview mode hides the syntax except where the cursor is. Obsidian is a far better personal knowledge base than anything else on this page, with backlinks, a graph and years of plugins, and if that is what you need the question of what its editor is called does not matter much. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago

• I Built a Self-Evolving Knowledge Base — Here's the Architecture

  The stack is all open source: Obsidian, GBrain, Horizon, PGLite, and a couple of small Python scripts for the state machine and quality gates. None of the interesting parts are proprietary — the interesting part is the discipline. - Source: dev.to / 22 days ago

• A Second Brain Your AI Agent Can Read

  Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores everything as Plain markdown files. It lets you organize and structure your notes in a Flexible way, and because the files are plain text on disk, anything that can Read a directory can read your notes, including an AI agent. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• How I Built a Programmatic Video Engine for SaaS Product Demos

  I needed a product walkthrough for SampleHQ. Instead of choosing between those two bad options, I built a third: a React-based framework that generates cinematic demo videos programmatically. The result is remotion-cinematic, an open-source template built on Remotion. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Auto-create relevant B-roll for creators' videos

  As a React-driven team, we leveraged http://remotion.dev/ for video generation with AWS Lambdas and FFmpeg, which significantly eased the development process (big kudos!). Despite this, we encountered numerous edge cases, such as corrupted video files uploaded by users, audio files mislabeled as MP4, and third-party stock assets blocking server access. We discovered some of these situations as our user base grew... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Show HN: Revideo – Create Videos with Code

  I see that Revideo uses generator functions which seems intuitive to me as it linearizes frame sequences wrt time as the function yields. How does this compare to Remotion^ which uses "React" mental model? ^: https://remotion.dev. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
