   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)_/¯.

• Why do people still use Kodi?

  Kodi + trakt.tv. And my movie collection looks better than Netflix. Also, I have more content than Netflix. Trakt helps to organize it. I used to use Kodi plugins but now it`s too much hassle. Source: 5 months ago

• IMDB Trakt Watchlist/Rating Syncer Tool (sync both ways)

  I spent some time working on this tool called IMDB-Trakt-Syncer which syncs user watchlist, ratings and comments for Movies, TV Shows and Episodes both ways between IMDB and Trakt. Also syncs episode ratings. You can use this script alongside PlexTraktSync and TMDB-Trakt-Syncer to get your ratings syncs across all 4 platforms! It should work on any OS. The project's Github repository and source code can be found... Source: 6 months ago

• Jellyfin Synchronization

  Good afternoon everyone!! I am a long time browser/reader of the all mighty reddit but this is my very first post. I very recently learned about trakt.tv and best I can tell it is great. I am in search of some information as to how to get Jellyfin Media Server to synchronize with the site. I installed the plug-in and authorized the device using the provided link but the browser never redirected. Thanks in... Source: 7 months ago

• I built a free website to follow filmmakers, their work and news about them: movienerd.tv

  No movie site / app I am aware of gives you the opportunity to follow filmmakers. And that's a pity - both for movie lovers as myself and for filmmakers as yourself, who e.g. Want to keep track of their colleagues' work. That's why I built movienerd. And in its core it's basically that: you follow filmmakers and get a personalized feed of their past and upcoming releases. I use the database of themoviedb (as... Source: 10 months 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 / 13 days 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 / about 1 month ago
