FWIW - I'm a huge FOSS guy, but I went ahead and paid for Obsidian because it looked so good and it at least feels as if "saving in pure Markdown" is darn near equivalent, or at least a reasonable non-free alternative experiment; i.e. I'm not sure if this is as good as FOSS, but it's interesting enough for me to throw a few dollars at to see what happens.
In theory, seems like a fine idea. But for, me, in practice, I went back to https://zim-wiki.org https://zim-wiki.org (like I pretty much always do.) Not exactly sure what that says about it all, or if it much matters.
One thought though is that Obsidian feels "overloaded," almost as if it wasn't allowed to grow naturally like Zim did?
- rjzzleep 5y agoI have used zim in the past, and I didn't like zettelkasten because of the autogenerated magic. I also just learned about obsidian for the first time in this thread and it looks pretty impressive, but I do agree that the onboarding is a bit hard and all the plugins while impressive are also a bit overwhelming. But it's interesting that the core plugins including things like slides which is definitely something that is great to have
