This is a popular plugin idea right now, and I personally like it. Definitely not part of the core app though. Markdown has definition lists that can serve as front and back of the cards ( https://www.markdownguide.org/extend

Hi there! Sorry it's our first time doing a license like this. If I understand correctly, licenses are usually written more strictly for legal purposes, but in my opinion your use case sounds like it should belong to personal use. If a

Thanks! For anyone who's curious, not a fork and we wrote most of the core code from scratch.

You can use any web clipper extension that can turn HTML pages to Markdown files. Our community made this: https://github.com/deathau/markdown-clipper

We don't want to prevent people from looking at the DOM to make custom CSS: https://github.com/kmaasrud/awesome-obsidian It also makes it easy to debug issues with users since we're still in beta.

I think most people are used to seeing the source and can basically "imagine" what it looks like. So they really only switch for double checking before sending something out I would say. Many people in our community said things ab

We're working on WYSIWYG but it's not an easy problem. Eventually we want editing to feel comfortable to everyone! :)

Apologies for our lack of experience on Linux, we'll look into it!

Is it possible for you to join our Discord so that we can help you?

Found and fix the mistakes, thanks for the heads-up!

Oops, will fix! Good catch!

Need to consult a lawyer on that, maybe it needs to be notarized somehow? There have been some attempts to do this (by other apps), we can look into their approach as well. And yeah no offense taken, don't worry about it :)

Sorry but because it works on a local folder, online demo is unrealistic. I would recommend installing, opening an empty folder, and going to Settings - Help to grab our hel & demo folder to play around with it and get a feel.

Yes, it's TypeScript and we're loving it! :)

Interested in hearing more about the graph view! As of the latest release our graph view can be zoomed in and out, and we've rewritten it to generate the graph with WebGL rather than SVG, so it's a lot more performant for 1,000+ n

The idea is that if you're creating value with Obsidian, your employer should expense that, ideally it shouldn't impact you financially. If you're working for a non-profit for example, it's all free. > (Also, their li

Totally agree (except for the first sentence LOL!). Come to think of it, IDEs are exactly that: a powerful front-end for your code files. That means us programmers are not locked into any one IDE. > And to take it to the next level we sh

Obsidian will auto-update all backlinks when you rename it. Essentially, we think wikilinks should identify the destination exactly and should not perform a search instead. Thankfully it's all just plain text at the end of the day, and

We designed the "Publish" add-on service for that purpose (not yet available): https://obsidian.md/pricing We still want to give you the option to export internal links to standard [Markdown](link) links so that s

Yes we do support the standard format, navigation will work in Obsidian but unfortunately not link auto-completion.

Not aware of many good resources since it's pretty new, but you can probably look into the Zettelkasten method. The gist is to make your notes atomic and link them together whenever possible. [[ links provides auto-complete, and the ba

There are a few videos made by beta testers already, but it's a good idea to have some official ones. We've just been too busy shipping releases... Some videos that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFYaW

I'm also a skeptic. Although nothing is forever, we want to get closer to forever than all the other note-taking apps. We'll likely make a formal guarantee to open source in the case of us shutting down. Didn't realize that w

The closest thing in Markdown is probably front-matters. You're right in that Obsidian is not great for structured data right now, and for that purpose Notion or Airtable is much better.

Inline math is coming very soon! WYSIWYG unfortunately will take a while to get right, but we'll get there. Give Obsidian a try and let us know what you think! :)

Yes! We really want people to be able to leave their knowledge bases as a legacy to their grandchildren, so we'll do everything it takes.

Yes we do have a Vim mode. Thanks CodeMirror!
