   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)_/¯.

• Best Web-based Anime List App for Desktop?

  Taiga is really convenient, it's a desktop app that uses and syncs your MAL/AL/Kitsu list. It recognises when you're watching an episode (either through an official streaming site, or downloaded) and updates your list (can also be done manually in one click), it can also set your discord status as "watching XXX", which I find interesting. The interface is basic but fast, it's easy to browse your anime by score,... Source: 6 months ago

• Offline Anime tracking ?

  The closest that comes to mind is Taiga, but I've not used it so I can't speak to how well it works offline. Source: over 1 year ago

• Crunchyroll is complete ass for being a paid service.

  I used to pay for anime services, but they're all just so bad in their own ways like trash sites or censorship that I canceled and started yarring. If you're not afraid to set sail and use a VPN (which I always recommend), you can use something like taiga.moe which not only lets you connect to a tracker like anilist, but also lets you search torrents for individual episodes and complete seasons.

• How do you keep track of what you watch? Do you know what you watch monthly?

  I just use a program called Taiga that automatically syncs with my AniList account when I watch stuff on my computer, it adds started and finished date, etc. And AniList has a pretty rich stats page if that's your thing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hello, is there a movie-TV show manager app like Taiga?

  Basically Taiga is a open source app to keep track anime shows you have watched and update your list in an online DB like Myanimelist/Anilist, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why single vendor is the new proprietary

  > why does open source need to "win" Open source does not need to win. But your ability to be in control of your computer needs to be preserved. A proprietary fridge cannot control your diet, while a proprietary App Store can control what software you install on YOUR phone (unless you live in EU, hello DMA!). The tail wags the dog, so to speak. Proprietary software has also been shown to break user workflows or... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Replatforming from Gatsby to Zola!

  So I've had my fair share of personal websites and blogs. I have built them on stacks ranging from the most basic HTML and CSS, to hosted frameworks like Wordpress and Laravel, to the more modern single page applications built in Vue and React. For a simple content blog I think you can't go wrong with a Static Site Generator though. These days I am almost exclusively writing everything in Obsidian. Which is great... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
