Obsidian - Connected Notes 4+

At some stage of my project I had to read, understand and visualise some 70 pages of conceptual work that also was referencing some materials that I have already had. That was nightmare. I didn’t know where to start, and then I remembered my friend showing me some weird note taking app with links? And markdown? I have organised my existing notes as a workspace, linking them and reducing - referencing instead of repeating. At the beginning of this 70 pages long read I started a canvas, at the end of the work it was full of the ideas that were chaotically spread across the document I was reading. Everything organised, easy to access, easy to find. Why this app is brilliant is because it is stupidly simple to use, thanks to markdown - formatting is clear and does not go crazy, it does not get in the way of note taking. Attachments - stupidly simple, one folder per workspace, all attachments that are in line are also available from folder. Each workspace has separate config hidden in . folder. Infinite canvas that is very convenient to use. Sorry I don’t write long reviews, but if you have a mess of documentation this app can be really life changing.

I really love the app. It’s simple, yet robust. I moved all my notes and all of my to do lists and don’t see how I could live without it anymore. Paid sync works flawlessly and plugins allow for infinite extensibility. What I miss is only mobile app notifications support, so that plugins would be able to schedule notifications, which would fire up on my phone or in calendar. I’d love for the feature to be implemented. Apart from this this app is perfection! Highly recommended.

I really like obsidian but I'm still comming back to apple notes for quick notes. It's launching instantly, every time. While obsidian takes a couple of seconds to launch + there's no option (or at least haven't found one) to launch into notes list, not to recent note. Also quick note switcher should have some shortcut, like swipe up or something. Searching or switching a note should take one click or gesture, no more. Speeding the launch time up and the other 2 mentioned things would make the experience a lot better.
