Obsidian is crazy good for how new it is. And the team is moving extremely fast. It seems like they really know what they want out of this product.
I've tried dozens of knowledge management tools and settled on TiddlyWiki a couple years ago. It took a lot of customization to get anywhere close as useable as Obsidian is out of the box.
Here's what I love about Obsidian:
- Local files, syncs via iCloud/Dropbox/etc makes it future proof
- Markdown with [[ ]]] bidirectional links and - [ ] checklists.
- Automatically updates all old links if you rename a file(!)
- Compatible with 1Writer on iOS
- Really nice keyboard shortcuts
- Runs as its own app (in a wrapper), but can be styled via custom CSS
- Automatically parses external URLs (don't necessarily need to use the markdown format for simple .com URLs)
- Great editing experience, e.g. auto indenting bullets
- Autocomplete for everything (tags, linked pages)
- Lots of extra nice touches like graph view and the pane system to open multiple files at once
- kixiQu 6y agoYup, I've got my Tiddlywiki in a place where the portability makes me not itch to try this (sort of the opposite of local-first; a raspberry pi in the sky holds my Markdown files) but this seems like it will be something like an IDE for markdown notes, which is very, very cool.
