Ah dear, poor old chap – I’ve confused Obsidian with Life
Notes. Sorry about that!

Life Notes in its current beta form is also well worth a look, although
it’s not yet as polished as Obsidian. Obsidian does, of course,
allow you to look at multiple notes simultaneously.

But Life Notes has a number of interesting refinements. Backlinks are
nicely implemented, although I prefer Obsidian’s separate lists of
backlinks (linked mentions) and – genius! – unlinked
cross-references (unlinked mentions). Life Notes also allows you to open
a spreadsheet view of notes with the same tag and the same
“fields” (not unlike the AskSam approach to fields, for
those who remember good ole’ AskSam), as well as a
“summary” view based on shared headers. It doesn’t yet
have a proper search function, although it’s under development.

I’m sending the developer notes on weaknesses, but already rate
Life Notes very highly.

Cheers,
Bill

Yes, Life Notes does look interesting as a beta. Thanks, Bill.
