It seems that the core features of Dendron correspond most closely to Obsidian's, to the point that I thought it's an Obsidian skin, but Obsidian is closed source while Dendron isn't. Roam is a Web app whose unit of data is a text block - Obsidian's and Dendron's unit of data is a file Markdown file.
- maxioatic 6y agoAgreed. I've personally never used Roam, as I definitely need my files to be in some form of plain text. Obsidian is cool in my eyes because I can start it up and click around if I want (more of review tool and looking at a cool graph), but in general I just create/edit my files in Vim. That's why I'm unsure about the opinionated hierarchy deal of Dendron. It just seems like another layer to deal with - although not much of a stretch to see a value add with it. Right now, I don't have enough files to be overwhelmed with my ad-hoc structure to spend the time trying it.
- Eugeleo 6y agoThere is a way to link to individual blocks now (paragraphs in Obsidian speak). And an alpha plugin API has just been unveiled to the insiders. (No affiliation, just a happy insider)
