If I may ask, what's so good about obsidian? I've been hearing a lot about it but I don't understand why it would be better than just writing in a notepad or google docs or something
For me, random order.
- It's open source
- It functions fully offline
- It's multi-platform
- There's a plugin system so it's programmable
- It's not spyware
Edit: oh and if I paste a html table in it, it converts it to markdown, so I use it on the laptop to post nice tables on SN sometimes.
Obsidian is not open source. You are free to lift the hood, and examine the car’s engine. You have not been granted the keys to the factory.
Hmm you're actually right, so now I'm wondering what code I reviewed
me too 👀
Obsidian not being open source was one of the reasons I didn’t even start using it, haha
(But not necessarily a good reason, since I did use other closed-source software, like NVIDIA drivers.)
Thanks for correcting me. It's very confronting to not be able to trust my memory, but I'm glad (or I tell myself I am) that at least I know.
I guess I have to take more notes and doublecheck every note I write just in case, but now I should probably find something different than Obsidian to do that in, oof.
PS:
since I did use other closed-source software, like NVIDIA drivers
Open source firmware is almost impossible, so don't give yourself too much shit for that one.
Ahahah! That’s from 2022, is there any chance it became open-source since then?
No
The hardest part of SayBoard on Graphene (not sure about stock google android because I've not used that since I flashed my Pixel 2) is that whenever I've shut down my mic (every time after a call, by habit, lol) and I start dictation, I have to cycle through keyboards a whole loop for it to work. That's about all the friction I've got.
I have to give this a try
I use Obsidian every day, and this never occurred to me.
