I'd like to mention some community plugins that extend it even further: - Query your notes into tables/lists: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview - Templates with variables: https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater - QuickAdd: https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd Markdown compatibility is cool, but what's even cooler is stringing these together to be able to create a new note in a specific folder with a template that contains some variables, and having all of that automatically added in an index note. If emacs scares you and other options are too limiting, this is where you'll find that sweet spot between user friendliness and extensibility.
