obsidian.nvim

Obsidian is so useful to me, I don't mind paying for the sync to support Obsidian dev. The notes being markdown is also very useful, I spend most of my time in a text editor, so I installed a Neovim plugin that works a bit like Obsidian [1]. So, for simple note-taking, I don't have to open Obsidian at all. It comes in useful when I need to use the massive collection of plugins, especially Excalidraw. 1. https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Obsidian.nvim (https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim) has been working really well for me. I use Obsidian mobile app (it’s not the best in this space, but still very good). And on my laptop, I’ve got neovim - getting to the daily note is one key combo. It’s also super fast and syncs using Obisidan Sync (or you can do your own).

The PKM space for neovim plugins is a surprisingly deep rabbithole but it can take quite a while to find what you need. For completions and tagging https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide works well for me and does pretty much everything I need. There are also a glut of all-in-one solutions like https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg (org-mode for neovim) and https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim. Graphing is a bit harder because it doesn't intuitively match up with nvim's interface, but I'm pretty sure I saw something on Reddit the other day.

There also is obsidian.nvim [1] if you want to mix and match obsidian and neovim for using/editing obsidian vaults. 1: https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Don't fall for the trap of note taking tools. At the end of the day, if you can write down your thoughts then it does the job. Spend less time on thinking about tools and more time on writing notes. At the same time, in my opinion you should feel comfortable in your tool. If VimWiki does not suit your needs but you still want to use vim (like I do), you could look into https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim to edit notes in neovim, and then view them in Obsidian using :ObsidianOpen. I like to have my terminal and Obsidian open side-by-side for this workflow.

> Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown. Aha. Which problems do you mean? > Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content. Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo. This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me, and it never breaks anything in my simple md files. > Most plugins and features in that area are very brittle and overspecialized, working only well enough in their specific use case. Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that? And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything, s

For neovim, there's the obsidian.nvim[1] plugin. There's also zk[2], a zettelkasten-based notetaking tool like Obsidian, but the functionalities are provided through a CLI and LSP server. [1]: https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim [2]: https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk

You should give https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim a try if you aren't currently. It isn't perfect, but I enjoy writing my notes in neovim more than the Obsidian app, so this works quite nicely.
