Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian

And it's totally fair to run your project however you choose. My point is just that FOSS doesn't automatically mean you can't make money, tons of businesses are built on a FOSS-first basis. Pick the model that works for your business, and I sincerely hope you find a way to make FOSS part of it.

I fucking LOVE obsidian, one of my most used pieces of software.
I have two note vaults.
One is my personal "everything" not vault, Anything I might need to write down goes there. No random sticky notes, or half used notebooks for me. Game notes, such as what equipment I'm looking for, or solutions to puzzles I'll forget before I can use the information. More practically useful notes like conversion charts to use imperial measurements in blender and godot. Names of people I need to remember and what their handles are on social media, because most platforms don't help you with that. Everything can be interconnected, so some notes are just indexes of other notes.
More impressive is my lore wiki. There is a book series that I will never write, and these notes document the setting. Characters, events, locations, other authors who have helped over the years. Anything that is a proper noun or is otherwise special to the setting is a link to a note of that name.
Obsidian also has "graph view" which visually organizes notes so that things that are connected are physically closer together. I just wish I could give these notes icons on the graph view so that they'd be more visually distinct.

As I've said. Nextcloud is a great example of FOSS working out for a business, haha.
-
Ale we talking about the same thing?
-
You're right, I wasn't thinking about the android app when writing this.
-
Embrace zettelkasten as your note taking workflow. It’s more organized
-
What is a Trillium?
-
Probably not, I'm talking about the plugin I use. Remotely save, I think it's called.

Daily journal
Task list / project management
Note taking
Mind mapping
Resource archiveI've got my vault automated pretty well at this point. I honestly don't know what I would do without it.
For those of you that are wondering, everything is markdown independent, all of my plugins address UI or vault automation processes that leave all of my information entirely portable.
-
That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.
-
Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.
If so, that's lock in.
-
I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.
Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.
There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.
Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.
-
It’s like Obsidian but open source. A free note taking app with power features
-
Obsidian is very capable of handling tasks and scheduling them. That's a solid portion of what I use it for, while also conveniently having my notes directly linked to from these tasks.
-
Its a directory, they were just referring to individual files.
-
Why would they offer another sync option when the Sync subscription is the one thing you make money on? You could easily just put the notes in your iCloud or any other cloud service.
-
They have a plenty large enough user base and have not done so. You're literally commenting this on a post of them doing the exact opposite. The fear mongering is insane.
-
I prefer PARA, which I implement some ideas of Zettelkasten into. Logseq sadly couldn't do this well. It also just sadly lacks a lot of plugins and features I need/really want. Logseq is great, but so is Obsidian.
-
The biggest issue I had was with folder permissions on Android. I also ended up paying for the sync functionality and have zero regrets.
-
Daily notes. I have a template that prompts me to fill out a number details I might otherwise forget.
A wiki of people that helps me remember details about people I meet or have worked with. Makes it much easier to keep in touch and to remember important dates in their lives.
Sortable todo lists, with due date and urgency information. I can add to the lists directly from any other note using a Dataview formula with the Tasks extension.
Career plans. Project plans. Gardening plans. Recipes (there's an awesome extension that imports recipes from the web).
Any random writing I might want to do, from short stories to rough drafts of letters to stream of consciousness mind spew that I want to review later.
I use the Auto Note Mover and Dataview extensions, along with backlinks and tags, to keep all of my notes organized automatically. I use the Linter extension to make sure things are formatted nicely. When I started using Obsidian, I used the Importer extension yo easily pull in all of my existing notes and lists from Evernote and Google Keep.
Honestly, that barely scratches the surface.
