Täglich genutzte App!

Ich bin vor 2 Jahren von OneNote (nach einer kurzen Probezeit bei Notion) zu Obsidian gewechselt. OneNote wurde über Jahre nicht wirklich weiter entwickelt. Der Umstieg hat echt gedauert (Bedienkonzept, Methode, …) aber nun habe ich Obsidian privat/beruflich so integriert, dass ich es keinen Tag mehr missen möchte. Top App zum Lernen, Arbeiten, Verwalten von Ideen, Aktivitäten … alles. Extrem gut erweiterbar durch die vielen PlugIns. ObsidianSync funktioniert wunderbar (und ist mein Beitrag das Tool am Leben zu halten).

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Imo this might just go down as the most important personal app we have seen to date, with implications potentially changing the way we everything understanding ourselves by documenting it with our own privacy.

It’s very evident.
