| “A second brain, for you, forever” My biggest issue is no mobile app. It’s can’t really claim to be a second brain if it’s only accessible at your computer

According to the forums, there will be a mobile app eventually. In the mean time, there are other apps that can work with your markdown files when you're away from your computer: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-do-i-work-with-obsidian-on-mobile/471 https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-do-i-work-with-obsidian-on-m...

You'll want to look into gitjournal. It won't work well large vaults (no wikilinks)... but it works for a separate vault with the files I want on the go. That would be shopping lists and the ol' do-queue. Dendron, a vscode extension is also a great alternate/partner to Obsidian. They both have they're strengths and they play well together as they have converged on a future-proof spec of Markdown+wikilinks+LateX. Plus you can already Publish with it using 11ty! e.g: https://texdeck.com https://texdeck.com

On the roadmap there are plans to introduce a lightweight mobile app in the near future. Here's hoping this will come soon but the Devs are doing a cracking job

I use Syncthing/Nextcloud to sync the notes to my phone where I use another markdown editor. It works pretty well.

  Me too. I use Markor (Android) which also supports the internal links created by Obsidian.

https://gitjournal.io https://gitjournal.io is one I'm using for mobile Markdown notes, synced via GitHub. Open Source. Not exactly Obsidian Mobile, but should be close enough. The dev is tracking Obsidian compat issues: https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A"app%3A+Obsidian" https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues?q=is%3Aissue...

  This looks like a perfect fit for my use case, just downloaded it! I'm using Foam instead of Obsidian but it looks like the GitJournal author is also targeting Foam support.

It’s almost a meme at this point for all these latest and greatest note taking tools to forget mobile exists.

  Obsidian kind of gets a pass since you can sync a directory of markdown files to anything and editors are available for iOS/android. Not idea, but not going to stop you from getting ideas down into text.
