Obsidian Sync is a really solid (and complementary) product.

The Git plugin is great for single-device backup IMO, but not great for device sync or collaboration. I've been working on making Obsidian "work for work" with a real-time collaboration plugin called Relay [0]. We use CRDTs f

Connexion is also worth a look IMO. It uses spec-first development (a major benefit in larger orgs and for public APIs), and can plug into different server frameworks. (I used to be a maintainer, but it has been years since I worked on it).

Of all of tech subscriptions that I pay for, kagi is a close second after claude in terms of the QoL improvement per dollar.

I'm partial to Obsidian's stock aesthetics, but if you prefer the notion look there are plugins like make.md and hundreds of themes.

Obsidian distributes their software for free, and makes money on a core plugin called Obsidian Sync (note that it is not open source). Obsidian Sync relies on their cloud to offer e2ee file sync. Obsidian also has a rich plugin ecosystem wi

Zed's collaboration tech is amazing, but coding just seems to be less collaborative than e.g. meeting notes. It's pretty awesome that they were able to use the crdt for agent collab. I've been thinking about something similar

This is awesome! I've been working on something similar but focused on Obsidian called Relay [0]. I'm super inspired by this. We use yjs with a hub (y-sweet) and spoke topology but I've been meaning to check out Iroh and make

Obsidian's local first editing experience makes a huge difference to creativity and flow. I've been working on making Obsidian real-time collaborative with the Relay [0] plugin. In combination with a few other plugins (and the cor

by dtkav 1y ago
Yeah, we use yjs and a fork of y-sweet [0]. We have a custom-built control plane that allows us to support many different types of relay server configurations (including self hosting, multi-tenant, per-relay, per-document) and optimize for

I use Obsidian Web Clipper [0] with the Relay Obsidian plugin [1] (I'm the author) for syncing. Web clipper converts websites to markdown and puts them into your Obsidian vault, and then Relay can sync subfolders in your vault to make

If you like Obsidian and want it to be multiplayer you might be interested in Relay [0] (shameless plug). There are also plugins like make.md [1] that are focused more on making the UX feel more like notion. [0] https://relay.md

Yes, it is for shared folder permissions, as well as identity for collaboration.

For our free/individual plan we do use OAuth2 providers (currently only Google is enabled, but considering others), and can support other methods for larger teams (like oidc). Originally the idea was to keep everything within the Obsid

We need a term for a viable business model to pair with local-first tech. I've been working on Relay [0] (realtime multiplayer for Obsidian) and we're trying to follow tailscale's approach by separating out the compute/d

While it is true that CRDTs don't require an authoritative server, the hub and spoke model (which could also be thought of as having a well-known always-online super peer) is more efficient and provides a better user experience. In pra

Even if you don't want to use Obsidian, the file format of yaml frontmatter (yaml in a --- block) and then markdown below is a solid format.

I've been building real-time collaboration into Obsidian (plugin is called Relay [0]) with the intent of integrating AI via standard collaboration flows. We haven't released our AI stuff yet, but have done several experiments and

If you need multiplayer sync, I've been working on a plugin that makes Obsidian real-time multiplayer (like google docs) called Relay [0]. A lot of our users use it in combination with SyncThing to keep it entirely free for up to 3 use

In the AI age having all of your files in markdown and away from AI enabled providers is making more and more sense. I know of several AI companies who use bespoke tools because otherwise their data would be shared with their competitors (e

Thank you Max for preserving my workflow (and for replying on GH)! It looks like I was 2 days out of date, and updating fixed it for me.

Thanks a lot for trying it and reporting back. I'll have to see if my version is out of date or something. edit: yup, they fixed it 2 days ago

Are you sure it is the right thread? On mine it shows the title of the last agent thread even though I'm in a text thread.

by dtkav 1y ago
Yeah, It was great because you were in control of where and when the edits happened. So you could manage the context with great care, then go over to the editor and select specific regions and then "pull in" the changes that were

You can add agent threads as context, but right now adding text threads as context doesn't work.
