i used to use obsidian lots, now mostly use plaintext (or sometimes markdown) files that i edit in vim.
still sometimes open obsidian briefly to read specific things i wrote in the past.
it was nice to be able to quickly find & open stuff,, maybe could set up some nice aliases n stuff with `find` and `grep` to get similar experience without obsidian

Neovim with Vimwiki is my way to go.
Files get synced with Syncthing across devices.

I use Joplin for my notes.

I also use a Joplin Server on a raspberry pi to synchronize the notes from different locations.

Tried it, found the vim keybindings for it lacking.  I'm on Notion right now, but been meaning to move to vimwiki.

Yes! I love obsidian. I've also just moved into Logseq, which is great because it integrates with my org-mode stuff.

0 I have been using obisidian for a couple of years now. I really like it.

I have a several vaults, one for story writing, one for work, and one for
everything else.

My favourite thing is that you're not locked in to their format. That was why
I stopped using OneNote and why I never really got into Notion.

I used to use Obsidian (with the Minimal theme, of course) to prepare for my high school examinations. Unfortunately my laptop has a mere 4 gigs of ram so a heavy Electron app like Obsidian can't run super well on it. That's also the reason why I use Sublime Text instead of VSC. I stopped using it after a couple weeks.

I want to use Obsidian next year (~march), this time to prepare for an *extremely* competitive examination in India. I still use the same potato but I no longer care so much about resource usage. Hell, I use Vivaldi as my primary web browser. I can't get myself to use VSC though. Sublime Text's grown on me.

Hmm, I've previously been using OneNote but this post is reminding me I had come across obsidian and wanted to give it a shot.  That being said, it sounds like I should also take a peek at Joplin.

I like Obsidian with a git extension to enable sync of sorts, without a paid account :)

Also the kanban, dictionary and pandoc plugins so far. Haven't gotten as far as templates yet...

I also use vimwiki from nvim, just because. That's also synced between machines via git.

Have returned to using an RSS reader to broaden my reading material a little, and Omnivore as a read-it-later service. I like Omnivore's simple-reading mode which is much like Firefox's -- easy on the eyes.

Yeah, like the task plugin for recurring tasks. Use it at work - I was keeping a bunch of markdown notes anyways.

Also, sync with syncthings. Just discovered that program - perfect! Where has it been all my life! I don't need 
fancy web interfaces and conflict-free editors. I am the only one editing my files. Just perfect.

I love obsidian. I've been using it to plan out my game, and making a mini "wiki" of sorts for all my ideas. Good stuff. The syncthing strat is also the way. it's so clean and easy

If you don't mind sharing, what kind of game are you developing? Is there any website/mailing list one could check out?
