As someone who has spent hours watching some "creative" person painfully "transition" from Notion to Obsidian, I can only echo this pithy response.
- sbdncuvh 4y agoI tried to transition from years of loose txt files to obsidian. When I opened the folder the app showed me 1-2 files from years ago. Apparently it only supports .md files. I literally laughed out loud and deleted the app from my computer. You've got a damn knowledge map but handling txt files is beneath you? That app is doomed to obscurity.
- regularjack 4y agoThere's a plugin that adds support for txt files: https://github.com/deathau/txt-as-md-obsidian https://github.com/deathau/txt-as-md-obsidian
- TotempaaltJ 4y ago> That app is doomed to obscurity. Quite arrogant to assume that an app not supporting /your/ specific note-taking workflow means it's "doomed to obscurity". It's a popular app with plenty of users, a healthy plugin community, and a team of six building it. I think that pretty obviously proves you wrong. If you were actually interested in trying it out, you could've simply run a quick find command. find . -name "*.txt" -exec rename -v 's/\.txt$/\.md/i' {} \;
- sbdncuvh 4y agoSo simple you can fix the problem in one line but me pointing that out as bad design is arrogance. Gotcha.
- mpawelski 4y agoConverting all files from .txt extension to .md extension would be enough to start. This I what I did. The only annoying thing was that in my text files I often used indentation to group stuff and in markdown indented text is treated as code block.
