- nivertech 3y ago> Note: Search engines will not index the contents of wikis. To have your content indexed by search engines, you can use GitHub Pages in a public repository. https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/about-wikis https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-proj... Otherwise it's a lightweight alternative to Obsidian Publish. The disadvantage, that it's limited to a common subset of GFM, Gollum, and Obsidian Markdown.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoThere doesn't seem to be anything that doesn't exist as an Obsidian plugin!
- capableweb 3y agoHacker News client to read comments in Obsidian?
- sbruchmann 3y agoSomething like this? https://github.com/Ellpeck/ObsidianCustomFrames https://github.com/Ellpeck/ObsidianCustomFrames
- theK 3y agoOkay,so obsidian looks really cool but from what I see on their page it is not open source right? Any open source equivalents?
- DerWOK 3y agoIMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq (https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin
- theK 3y agoLooks Nice! Also interesting to see they are incorporated. Would be cool to watch how they evolve the product while also implementing a business plan. But from the home page I don't directly get whether this is backed by markdown flat files or some other system, do you know?
- DerWOK 3y agoIts local markdown flat files.
- shanusmagnus 3y agoLogSeq has suffered a lot, imo, since they took venture funding. Their focus has wavered drastically since then, shipping features nobody is asking for that I can only assume are viewed to be differentiating for other PKMs (e.g., canvas) vs making the thing performant, improving the wretched UI, fixing bugs, etc. Obsidian may not be open source, but it reflects a sane approach to product: small, focused team, profitable company, delivering useful stuff. Clean and tight. It's got a different set of abstractions at its core (document model vs block model) but if you're indifferent to that, Obsidian is where I'd start.
- cjbprime 3y agoI use this too! I wish there was a better way to self-host keeping a vault up to date on the Android client, though.
- redblacktree 3y agoThere is! Fair warning that it's a little bit clunky. (which is to say, you may have to manually push buttons to commit/push/pull) I'm not the author, just a happy user. https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git
- lazerman 3y agoI've been using syncthing to do this without any issue.
- tofuziggy 3y agoYes I second this! Syncthing works really well for keeping Obsidian vaults sync'd across multiple computers
- hillcrestenigma 3y agoI've found myself running into sync-conflicts while editing my Obsidian Vault in a syncthing folder in the past. Did syncthing work flawlessly OOB in your experience?
- AdamGibbins 3y agoI don't use Android anymore but when I did I found the GitJournal app worked well to sync with git, then you could open the files with Obsidian. That predates plugins being native on mobile apps however, so the built in Obsidian Git plugin might be better now.
- jskherman 3y agoThere is also another one: using the self-hosted LiveSync plugin.[0] This uses CouchDB. [0]: https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

- nor-and-or-not 3y agoHow does Obsidian work? Is it an app/client only which has its data local?
- chefandy 3y agoThey have a paid cloud service but by default it just stores markdown files locally. Unlike many apps with that model, they're not at all pushy about their paid services in the app.
- travellingprog 3y agoYes, Obsidian by itself reads and creates files in a folder of your choice. The folder is considered a "workspace" and you can create/switch to other workspaces if you want. There's desktop apps and mobile apps. Aside from Markdown files, you can store and display images, audio files and video files (haven't tried that last one though). However, you can choose to backup and sync your workspace across multiple devices using a cloud service. The most pain-free way to do this is by buying a subscription to Obsidian Vault. This is also a good way to support the development team, since the main product is free. When you store your workspace on Obsidian Vault, you can choose to specify an encryption key, so that theoretically nobody at Obsidian should be able to read your data. But there's nothing stopping you from using other cloud storage services. There's even a community plugin you can find to use a Git repo for storage.
- itsuka 3y agoI tried using Linear before switching to Obsidian Kanban. I found Linear's UX and site structure to be overly complex for my personal needs. Despite following the onboarding process, I found myself clicking too many times to figure out where things are (I acknowledge that this may have been an issue on my side). As a result, I switched to Kanban because I was already using it to store documentation for my projects. For me, it meets the spec as a project management tool and is an improvement over a text-only kanban. I can definitely recommend it.
- Dalewyn 3y agoAssuming "kanban" is the Japanese 看板[1] ("kanban", billboard), the Department of Redundancy Department would like a word with you and Kanboard regarding "kanban board". [1]: https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9C%8B%E6%9D%BF https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9C%8B%E6%9D%BF
- ZainRiz 3y agoKindly also report the usage of "Chai Tea" ('Chai' means 'Tea' in Pakistan/India, which is where that flavor originated from)
- pikelet 3y agoAnd it's actually masala chai.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- yawz 3y agoSame in Türkiye where "çay" (with the same pronunciation) means tea :)
- ardacinar 3y agoIt is called something like chai in half of the word and something like tea in the other half :) https://www.reddit.com/r/etymologymaps/comments/g4bmh3/chai_tea/ https://www.reddit.com/r/etymologymaps/comments/g4bmh3/chai_...

- HungSu 3y agoI tried this Kanban plugin and ultimately ditched it. I do think it's superior to the other Obsidian plugin, CardBoard (which has some advantages too, namely that it works great with the tasks already in your Obsidian vault) but I ditched Obsidian Kanban because there was no way for me to just view one card. This is a crucial feature for me - while I'm working I do not want to look at the whole board. I want to focus on just the card I'm working on.
- anderber 3y agoI got around this by making the text in the card a link to another file/page.
- sen 3y agoThis is awesome. This is all I need for personal projects, and I've been looking for a "kanban lite" for a while.
- MrBoomixer 3y agoYou can try this plugin as well https://github.com/marcusolsson/obsidian-projects https://github.com/marcusolsson/obsidian-projects where it has a "boards" view for the projects you setup, it has a nice approach to project management without manipulating your pure notes to much other than the frontmatter data.
- aceazzameen 3y agoI gotta say thank you! You just introduced me to Obsidian! So far, love the app and the Kanban plugin. The plugin is basic, but gets the job done for my needs. My only gripe is Obsidian isn't open source and will probably deteriorate over the years. But I love how it's all markdown, so I should hopefully be able to transfer my data to something else when that happens.
- 4m1rk 3y agoHave you tried Joplin? It's open source. I liked it very much but ultimately ended up using a folder of markdown files and using vscode to edit them. It works great. The only issue is that long hyperlinks become unreadable.
- aceazzameen 3y agoI have not! I've heard it mentioned before but never looked into it. Thanks for the rec, I'll have to take a look.
