I am excited to see more ways to export data out of Apple Notes. Long term it would be amazing to see a solution that allows more interoperability with other apps. Depending on what you are looking to achieve there are a few ways to export

I was a user of TiddlyWiki for many years before I started working on Obsidian. TiddlyWiki is an amazing piece of software, but it has too many points of friction. The first being that you have to run a local server, which eliminates 99% of

Obsidian is designed to work offline using local files on your device, and us optimized for E2E encryption which so it would be more complicated to do as a web-based app.

You can use the command palette "Create new canvas" or use the ribbon item (icon looks like a layout of 4 different rectangles)

I wish I could edit my post to simply say open format for now. The MIT license currently refers to the spec and the documentation. Over time it will also include any tooling we open source (e.g. validator, linter, migration tools). The inte

I appreciate the distinction you're making. I could have been more accurate in my description. Markdown states in its own documentation that the name refers to two things, and "Canvas" to date fits mostly in (1) > Thus,

You can use "Export to image" which saves the canvas to PNG. We're looking to add more formats in the future.

Obsidian is based in Canada. Obsidian Sync is E2E encrypted so the company has no way of accessing your files. The privacy policy is here https://obsidian.md/privacy You also do not need to trust Obsidian with any of your d

There are several layout options you can use to easily align and rearrange cards on the canvas. We have considered a "clean up" shortcut to reorganize the whole canvas at once but haven't gotten there yet.

I don't think we need to step out of Markdown to improve table editing. It could be solved by making a WYSIWYG table editor for Live Preview.

by kepano 4y ago
On the other hand, the fact that there are so many Markdown-based editors that can read the files you create in Obsidian gives plain text format more resilience over time. Even if Obsidian were to disappear, your writing and ideas will stil

You are confusing two different ideas here. The Canvas format is MIT licensed in the same way that Markdown uses a BSD-type license. That means we are giving explicit permission for anyone to use the format and build apps, scripts, plugins

We did make some API changes that would make it easier for a third party to create a plugin like Canvas. But there was nothing changed in the core solely to support Canvas. There were two under-the-hood changes required to properly facilita

by kepano 4y ago
The Canvas JSON is not an export format, it is the file that the app actually reads and edits. Being explicitly MIT licensed also gives permission to other people/companies to build their own tools using that format.

I agree that VC basically killed Evernote. Obsidian is completely user-supported, no investors, we're explicitly avoiding the VC route. As far as features go, we're continuing down the path of a modular architecture. The core will

Obsidian is built on a modular architecture. Canvas view is a plugin so you can turn it off if you don't want to use it. Not much is changing with the core. You can still run Obsidian as a very lightweight app with most plugins disable

Obsidian Canvas uses a new JSON-based file format that we have open-sourced under MIT license. You can see the spec here: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canva... Just like all oth
