What is it?

Obsidian is a free* notetaking tool similar to one note and such. It uses markdown for formatting and offers good extension support.

I've used it for free for about a year and I'm pretty happy with it.

*Some services are offered only for paid users, I think it's only online storage /sync but I'm not sure.

They're doing WYSIWYG tables but still show bold and italics as markdown, are you fucking kidding me?

I love this app so much but I just don't need it for anything. I open it to have a look at plugins then close it after realising I don't need to make any notes.

I wish I knew what to use it for. :(

Obsidian needs to improve how it handles resource files (images, etc). There are plugins that improve the situation, but they’re not reliable. With a notebook with hundreds of notes with most containing images, sometime tens of images, move the notes around to different folders and soon you have a big mess. Images in the resource folder that aren’t connected to any notes.
