I've spent a couple of hours setting up Obsidian, learning to use it and migrating most of my notes there. I'll try not to nerd out about it too much in the future but hot damn, is it a powertool for taking and organizing notes

- based on Markdown
- a solid Vim mode
- shortcuts for blazing fast navigation and actions
- everything stored in plaintext Markdown files
- simple and powerful interlinks
- knowledge graphs like pic related (all my notes at the moment, zoomed out to hide titles)
- free apps for desktop and phone
- everything stored locally, no cloud bullshit. they offer paid sync, but I set up a shared folder through Syncthing and it works well
- cons I can think about: the core is not open-source and the desktop apps are built on Electron, but it's very fast on my laptop
