Obsidian gets folding
5/23/2020
I believe you are talking about something completely different. DevonThink uses AI to analyze your entire document and looks for similar documents. This is similar to Google's "page rank." I don't rec...

This is exactly how the unmatched link/reference feature in Roam/Obsidian I described earlier works. Unless I’m still not understanding something?

On what basis does it make this connection? I personally would worry that such a system would make a lot of useless connections. I would prefer to have some degree of manual control over it.

Ha, I have the same problem - probably using a similar dark theme. But I assume the CSS will be updated soon enough...

Please explain. This doesn't make sense to me. Aliases I understand, and both Roam and Obsidian...

Obsidian version 6.0 gets more granularity - you can now link to markdown headers within a document.

Both Roam and Obsidian identify "unlinked references"/"unlinked mentions" alongside those that have been deliberately linked, and allow you to link them if you like. (Not sure if this is implemented y...

Obsidian is only at 0.5 and even when it gets to 1.0 the plugin architecture will open up to third party developers allowing new features to be added. The main thing that is still in development I thi...

Updates are coming fast now. 0.5.3 just dropped. One nice thing is that it now self-updates so you don't need to re-download with each update. Just restart the app. (I suppose re-downloading may be re...

Version 0.5.0 was still a bit hard to use, but 0.5.1 which just came out feels pretty solid if anyone has been holding off giving Obsidian a try. Personally, I still need to wait to see how the editor...

The latest release of Obsidian is still very basic, but it does now allow you to do some basic folding in Markdown. Off by default, but can be enabled via plugins, you can fold Markdown headers and li...
On the other hand, amplenote does seem pretty nice otherwise. Unlike many of the other apps implementing Roam-like features (or Roam for that matter), the task management aspect does seem to be very w...
OK. So amplenote does have backlinks, but they are hidden away in the "note details" window which is hard to get to. Maybe they will improve this later, but right now it really feels like a cheap hack...
So an app I'd never heard of called amplenote has added bidirectional links and a Roam importer:

A couple of thoughts and comments on Obsidian pricing:
1. The reason for publishing the pricing model is precisely so that people don't waste time on something they won't use once it goes live. I per...
Obsidian has released their pricing. Note that even though sync isn't included in the free tier, one could use one's own sync solution, such as Dropbox.

I should clarify a few things.
There was some discussion in the Obsidian discord forums about the choice not to base Obsidian on an outliner. There are a lot of good reasons for their choices includi...
I am still torn between Obsidian and Roam
On the Obsidian side:
I like the Obsidian developers better, and I agree that the system is more future proof and there is less concern for lock-in. Also, b...
Inter-note using the [[wikilinks]] syntax is an emergent standard in markdown and is supported by Obsidian among others. Files exported from Roam work fine in Obsidian, although I had to run a script ...
Digital Garden

A wonderful collection of online "digital gardens" that will appeal to forum members:

(Via the Obsidian discussion forum.)
Roam is not simply an outliner with wiki links, what really makes it unique is the fact that links are bi-directional. You see what is linking to a document. This turns out to be very powerful. For in...
Regarding Ulysses, it now offers pretty good support for folders of markdown files, with some limitations:

Taskade

With the promise of recurring tasks I decided to give taskade a try as a task manager. In the end I don't think it is for me. It seems good for people whose tasks are very project focused, but there i...
