I went down the GTD/Zettelkasten rathole some years ago, and discovered Obsidian during that time. I subsequently determined that GTD and Zettelkasten are solutions to problems I don’t have…but I’m still using Obsidian, and for all sorts of things. It isn’t a magic bullet, but it’s become essential to many, many things I do: Study notes I’ll want to return to. Development notes for a current application. Background notes for a work of fiction I’ve been writing. Etc., etc., etc. The key to it is that (A) the files are mine; (B) I can easily link them together in ways that make sense to me; and (C) they are readable. Obsidian ties it all together and makes working with my notes a breeze; and when Obsidian fades away my files are still there. Been a programmer since the 80’s. I’ve seen a lot of applications come and go, leaving unreadable files behind. Not going to do that any more.
