The killer feature for me is how extensible the software is made to be. It truly lets you operate how you know best, making very few assumptions on how you use it. Case in…

In the past year I've been on a journey of note-taking / personal knowledgebase: - Trillium Notes [0] - Joplin [1] - others I can't remember - Obsidian [2] - Emacs/org-mode - Logseq [3] - and now back to Obsidian again Logseq was really promising in concept - pulls a lot of cool concepts in from the others and supports org files. But I found it to be incredibly slow and laggy with my existing mixed org/markdown files. Unusably so, so I ditched it quickly. Obsidian has come a long way from where it was a year ago in terms of community plugins. There's some crazy stuff you can do with plugins like obsidian-dataview [4], obsidian-itinerary [5], quickadd [6], obsidian-Kanban [7]. It's no Emacs in terms of customizability, but it's pretty damned close. And Obsidian doesn't have the random freezes and random "oops I accidentally

deleted a huge chunk of nested notes" that org-mode constantly exposed me to. I'm loving Obsidian (again). As long as you don't mind JavaScript for plugins and closed source core app, it's a super-powerful and performant option worth checking out. The biggest thing Obsidian lacks right now that SuperNotes 2 seems to offer is good sharing / collaboration between people - for me, I just want to be able to have shared notes with my partner, but sharing with a team would be great, too. I'm not the target audience for SuperNotes 2, but it is good to continue to see competition in this space - the innovation it drives is exciting. - [0] https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/ - [1] https://joplinapp.org/ - [2] https://obsidian.md/ - [3] https://logseq.com/ - [4] https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/ - [5] https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-itinerary - [6] https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd - [7] https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban
In Show HN: Supernotes 2 – a fast, Markdown notes app for journalling and sharing
I use Obsidian similar to how author wrote the summary except I write complete notes for each chapter focusing on the bits that I want to remember (e.g. for the Docker book I'm reading, I add example commands and explanations). That helps me to stop at a given point and before I resume (which could be weeks later), I don't need to read the previous chapter in the book - I just revise my concise notes and then resume the book. Edit: I thought Obsidian didn't have a Kanban board plugin but then found this[0]. Seems to be working well except when I open the board in "Preview" mode, it shows it as a nested list instead of a Kanban board (opening the node directly opens it correctly).
