The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create that are designed to last." Seems to align with your philosophy

I replied to him with with my idea and article https://twitter.com/brajeshwar/status/1675905574624702465 https://twitter.com/brajeshwar/status/1675905574624702465 From the article, “Right now, I use Obsidian to manage my notes. The beauty of this setup is that I can change tools anytime, while my notes remain free of any dependency.”

I tried obsidian but didn’t feel it was much better than opening a folder in VSCode, and as I am already used to VSCode, that is easier for me.

  Same. Have you tried https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ ? It does some of the things Obsidian does, but is a VS Code Plugin. I really like that combination.

  The tagging features and the ability to just paste a picture in a markdown file are the things that bring me back to Obsidian instead of VSCode

  Have you tried https://www.dendron.so/ https://www.dendron.so/ ? I think that was aiming to be a knowledgebase in vscode

Obsidian's problem is Sync + Publish costs way too much, esp. when compared with competitors. Notesnook provides almost everything Evernote provides, with encryption, better publishing and syncing. Notion provides more features, incl. publishing and syncing plus the kitchen sink and its factory, yet it doesn't have offline access. For sync + publish, I have to pay 1.5x what Dropbox wants for 2TB of storage, or what Trello wants for a year, etc. It makes no sense, at least for me. BTW, Evernote's .enex format is just well-defined XML. You can parse and convert it into anything you want. It's a modest superset of Markdown.

  > Notesnook provides almost everything Evernote provides, with encryption, better publishing and syncing. In the two years I've used Notesnook, my biggest issue is the slow syncing between devices: A change I make on the mobile app takes minutes to update on the desktop app, whereas a similar change on the Obsidian mobile app is nearly instantaneous. Additionally, Notesnook doesn't allow external editors, like vim or emacs, to edit files. Sure, you can extort files to Markdown, but those do not get synced anywhere. Obsidian gives a user the flexibility by editing files directly without the app.

    Thanks! Does that work with the mobile app, too?

      Yes, it does.

Since when twitter allows posting 2172 character long message? Apparently char limit is now 25k for subscribers...
