With bases, #Obsidian has really reached a new level. I'm kind of going all-in on it for a personal project: https://help.obsidian.md/bases

I've been using #obsidian for a few months now as a sort of personal wikipedia and I'm really liking it. Before this I was taking handwritten notes in Notability and then GoodNotes, but I would miss where topics overlapped because the nature of handwriting is that it lives in one place only.

I fed my entire Obsidian vault (500+ notes) to an AI. It analyzed my knowledge system and spotted things I never knew were there. 🤯

Just listened to a great interview about @obsidian between @kepano and @caseynewton on Decoder podcast

Just found this today -- an @obsidian plugin to publish posts directly to Write.as! Works really nicely.

Allez, je suis d’humeur masochiste. Vous avez un tutoriel, de préférence en français, pour que je découvre Obsidian ? J’ai envie de me faire mal en (re)essayant de m’organiser dans mon taff ou ma vie 😅

TFW the #Obsidian UI tries to subliminal-message me into accepting the rise of fascism and ethno-nationalism.

No one knows how many users #Obsidian has
I think it's around 5-10 million people but I'm not sure?
Anyone can download the app and start using it without creating an account or talking to anyone, and there are no analytics built-in 🤷♂️

Joan Westenberg on why she deleted all her Obsidian notes and a response by Elizabeth Tai.

I never maintaned such elaborate systems of notes as the process felt like work. I usually take raw, metadata-less notes I have an immediate or short-medium term need for, and archive only a fraction of them.

From @Joanwestenberg
｢ When I first started using PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold ｣
It syncs with iOS via Symperium.
Everything else I‘ve tried over the years is just unbearably slooooww in comparison.
And since I must change my note-taking system I want to improve a few things.
Like syncing over any self-hosted infrastructure, but it absolutely must work with macOS and iOS.
I‘ve considered #Obsidian but it‘s slow as molasses and cannot be synched via my own infrastructure/server. Feels like a downgrade over what I have.
Same for Logseq. Terrible Mac app, no sync at all.
