I use Obsidian[1] pointing at a local directory of markdown files which is also synced across my devices via Syncthing[2]. Works flawlessly across my various Android/Fedora/Windows/etc devices. Cost: $0.0/year.
I don't really use any Obsidian plugins. Obsidian has good builtin navigation, search, and markdown processing (e.g. LaTeX, code syntax highlighting). It's just as easy as opening a new file in $EDITOR, except its a markdown renderer & synced across all my devices.
There are also a lot of bells and whistles like graph viz, export to website, etc. that haven't gotten in my way.

- sbmthakur 5y agoWhat's the benefit of using logseq?
- number6 5y agoLogseq has a build in query language. You can query every block of information. It's organised around blocks rather than pages. So you tend to organise your thoughts in packages. And you can reference blocks in your current page so you have a direct link. Though I think Obsidian does this to. The differences are quite subtle but profound.
- sbmthakur 5y agoUnderstood. Do you use anything to sync data between both tools?

- mmerlin 5y agoRoam (Research) is an Obsidian alternative. Foam (Bubble) is an open source VScode plugin inspired by Roam. Foam in VScode is what I use daily as my second brain: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25760066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25760066
- kkyr 5y agoObsidian has LaTeX support without using a plugin?

- pphysch 5y agoInline (markdown-embedded) LaTeX, yeah. You can also export to PDF. But I would definitely not use it as a full-blown (La)TeX environment. Although, it is a perfectly good environment for drafting such manuscripts.
- kstrauser 5y agoIt supports MathJax without a plugin, so at least a subset of LaTeX.
- Mizza 5y agoI do this with Obsidian + Git - I'll check out syncthing. Thanks!
- gompertz 5y agoChecked out syncthing myself after seeing this comment... What a great utility! Thanks for suggesting.
