All the people that claim #obsidian is the best thing since sliced bread have never used a good editor, or had proper bread for that matter.
I just published my newest project that visualizes #orgdown ( #Emacs #orgmode syntax) files in a web browser:
https://codeberg.org/publicvoit/orgheadingnetwork
Similar functionality is included in all sorts of tools like #logseq or #obsidian. I personally haven't found a spot for it in my daily workflows but with that project, I may decide to play around with such visualizations any time.
Have fun
No hittolainen, #Obsidian on nyt sekä luurissa että koneella ja #SyncThing myös molemmissa. Mutta en nyt sit kuitenkaan saa vaultia synkattua niin, että koneella olevat muistiinpanot tulisivat luurille näkyviin ja käsiteltäviin.
Ei tuo ollukaan ihan niin simppeliä ku mä kuvittelin.
@saaste ja @rolle tän muistaakseni oli jo tehneet? Menikö tää teillä kerralla nappiin vai vaatiko säätämistä?
It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should.
For example, #Obsidian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links.
Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.

OK, I JUST noticed that 
#Obsidian 1.12 ships a CLI to interact with your vault!
I'm testing it with the insider build AND IT'S SO GOOD!
There's too much to post about here, I put my long-form thoughts on this development into a post on my patreon (thanks everyone for your support btw):

@publicvoit I share your concerns about lock-in. They’ve added features like bases and transclusion, which only work in Obsidian. But it’s still all just plain text under the hood — on your computer. And the core Markdown files work everywhere. It’s a much more open platform than (say) OneNote or Notion. (Still, not as open as Emacs.)
@jarango Everything true.
However, I disagree with #Markdown: https://www.karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/
It's way more open than, let's say, #OneNote & so forth. Unfortunately, it's far from being a #textformat that can be reused anywhere without problems. At least I need to convert MD all the time from one flavor to a different.
With more and more #Obsidian add-ons introducing their own syntax elements, you will end up with clear text files you still can't convert for a different tool without modifications. Good luck with finding out which elements are going to survive and which not. For a few files, that seems OK. If you have a decent #PKM like you describe in your awesome #DulyNoted book, it requires more effort.
For everything I need to use with #MD, I keep a syntax file with one example element so that I keep an overview & know what to convert how in case I need to reuse information stored in this MD flavor.
With org, I just push it through #pandoc & I'm done. 🤷

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.
#Obsidian CLI is now available with 1.12 (early access).

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jarango/116047121332640221
Reminds me of "Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of #Orgmode."
Today they're adding a CLI.
Next a REPL.
In a couple of years maybe a decent programming language.
If you want all the fun just now without the lock in effects of #Obsidian, take a look at the cool features of https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/ 😉
Whoa, Obsidian CLI! The help page hints at lots of fascinating possibilities (especially via LLM integrations.) 🤯

Obsidian uses local files, so all your standard terminal commands work for editing/moving/searching/etc
what #Obsidian CLI adds is everything else:
- interacting with the UI
- Obsidian's internal functions, e.g. base queries
- deterministic results like the "orphans" command
- easily create a personal plugin now that your agent can access devtools, console, screenshots, eval, etc
See the CLI docs!

My Obsidian plugins are out of control. It should cut you off like bars do when you’ve had one too many.
I built a base in #Obsidian to keep track of my #fountainpen #collection. This screenshot doesn't show all the pens in my collection, but I thought it was pretty cool to look at....
haha wait I can embed the planet gifs directly into the map. Also, I love Iron Vault :P
