I like the idea of Notion, but one of things keeping me is that it seems like it'd be a pain to export one's data if Notion ever went out of business.
But just keeping folders of Markdown notes is also inflexible, but on the opposite side of the scale.
Obsidian looks like a great balance! I've requested beta access as well.
Edit: Obsidian seems to make it easy to create a Zettelkasten, sort of like https://github.com/alefore/weblog/blob/master/zettelkasten.md https://github.com/alefore/weblog/blob/master/zettelkasten.m... but with automation baked in.
- charlieegan3 6y agoNotion has HTML as well as CSV+Md. I export once a month and it appears to work ok.
- maett 6y agoI switched from OneNote to Notion a while a go, one major reason being the possibility to easily export notes in Markdown format. I think it's working pretty well, or am I overlooking something?
- Kye 6y agoNotion's export used to dump it all in one opaque blob of files with no structure aside from some CSV files that roughly described where things went. Maybe they haven't used it since Notion changed it to use folders.
