You can achieve a lot of this with Obsidian and some plugins, like obsidian-dataview and Templater. Might have some missing bits still, but if you're comfortable writing JavaScript (or not, honestly) it's very simple to make your own plugin to fix that, it sounds like a pretty minimal plugin after you have dataview. https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin

In Potluck: Dynamic documents as personal software

I'd like to mention some community plugins that extend it even further: - Query your notes into tables/lists: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview - Templates with variables: https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater - QuickAdd: https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd Markdown compatibility is cool, but what's even cooler is stringing these together to be able to create a new note in a specific folder with a template that contains some variables, and having all of that automatically added in an index note. If emacs scares you and other options are too limiting, this is where you'll find that sweet spot between user friendliness and extensibility.

In Obsidian – A knowledge base from a local folder of plain text Markdown files

ericax·Jul 12, 2021

Hi HN! After months of private beta, Obsidian is now finally available for Android and iOS! Obsidian is a personal knowledge management app that works on top of a local folder of Markdown files [0]. Because "local" often means your computer, for the longest time, it has been a pain to access these notes on the go. Our original plan was to build fully native mobile apps. Instead, we decided to build hybrid web apps. Hybrid web apps gets a lot of hate, and for good reason. There's heavy performance penalty for running JavaScript. Animations are often janky. A lot of native capabilities are restricted. We know everyone's favorite argument for using the web stack. "We're a small team, and it's just not possible to....". Sure, we're also just two developers, but that excuse gets old. We see it in a different way. We leverage hybrid web apps no

t as a shortcut, rather, we use it to put power in the hands of our users. This has always been a key principle driving Obsidian's development. Obsidian is one of the few apps out there that lets users customize every aspect of the app. Themes and CSS snippets let users completely change the interface. Plugins [1] let users augment the GUI [2], run macros [3], build databases [4], synchronize with other apps [5], and much more. It's unprecedented for users to have access to this kind of power on their mobile devices. Now, it's reality, thanks to the web stack.

> no databases You can query Markdown files with the (third-party) Dataview plugin. Wrote about it here[0], very simple query syntax. Only tables and lists, but tables is the one I've used by far the most in Notion. > no nice templates Well you can always create your own. There's a first-party templates plugin[1] and a similar third-party one that also allows custom variables and has a showcase[2] (think: you can curl the weather and add it to your journal). Having wrote that, your "a lot of custom configuration" definitely applies. [0] https://input.sh/replicating-notions-tables-with-obsidian-pl...
