Obsidian gets folding

Although the discussion of automatic links and aliases should perhaps be a separate topic, I will just mention I, like @bvasconcelos, find both automatic links and aliases highly useful, especially for my anthropological work that involves lots of spelling variants. And it’s true that automatic links are a bit different, though definitely related, to Roam’s “unlinked references” feature. ConnectedText has automatic links (optionally), but it does not have a good solution for aliases. VoodooPad has an excellent implementation of both features. I did not know that Devonthink has both these features, so once I get back on a Mac I will certainly try it out. (Thanks, @bvasconcelos, for the helpful info!) WikidPad, for what it’s worth, also has automatic linking, and I seem to remember that it had some ability to handle aliases. I believe there are also plugins for some other wiki systems, such as TiddlyWiki and DokuWiki, that attempt to implement these features. I’m delighted that there appears to be a surge of interest and development with regard to this sort of software.
