- Obsidian is a local markdown-based note-taking app, ensuring file ownership and protection from enshittification.
- It offers powerful features like interlinking notes, extensive plugin support, and consistent functionality across desktop and mobile.
- Users are advised to explore Obsidian strategically, avoiding FOMO, and keeping their setup simple for effective knowledge work.
- Common uses include content creation, knowledge management, project tracking, and media organization with a preference for minimal plugins.
- Syncing is achievable via tools like Google Drive and GitHub, while features like graph view and canvas are used sparingly.
- While Obsidian is a primary tool, alternatives like Notion (collaboration) and Logseq (journaling) serve complementary roles.
