I see. I'm not a user of Obsidian, but is it really obvious where the markdown files live? I use naked markdown and have a printed "read this first" that tells the locations of all the files (and where the backups are). I've tried to make it as simple as possible to find things.
- jjice 1y agoYeah it's actually one of the things I like most about Obsidian - your "vault" is literally just a directory. Everything is just a markdown file and it's just a normal directory structure and it's all exactly as you'd expect. I used to take my normal notes as plain text or markdown in a similar structure, so "moving" to Obsidian was just opening the directory. It doesn't show plain text by default, so you'll have to rename them to .md files, but other than that, you're up and running immediately. It's saved the exact same way on mobile as well. It's the most extensive note management software I've used that also doesn't remove the basics like letting me control the files myself.
- e40 1y agoSounds good. I just installed it and pointed it to my "howto/" directory (which has everything in regular markdown, with .md files). Normally I use emacs to edit my markdown, but I can definitely see some advantages to using this. Thanks!
