marksman VS obsidian.nvim

Although not as featureful or powerful as Obsidian I personally created a python script to help me manage the notes, and I preview them using my own blog being run locally and for the linking part I use marksman, it takes time and it might not be the best solution for everyone but it works for me.

I have never used this, but for NeoVim it looks like you might be able to use this (or hack on it a bit to make it work with LogSeq a bit better) https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman

A hackier way that you can bend to your will and might be more vim-like is using the Marksman LSP with regular old markdown files in vim. You can go-to-definition in markdown links, etc. This is a Helix YouTuber who shows off some of the power of marksman, but all of these concepts translate 1 to 1 with neovim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GQKOLh_V5E

Have you seen https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman which uses LSP?

I found https://github.com/jeffmm/vim-roam and https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman . The first is a plugin where the second is an lsp and I'm sure there are more. Vim-roam codebase looks to be a couple of years old.

Interesting. Have been using https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman up until now (in neovim, but also runs in vscode apparently).

You might want to check out https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman. It's a Markdown LSP as well and has been out for a while. In addition to the regular markdown stuff, it also supports [[wiki-style#links]] which is particularly handy for the "personal knowledge base" types of workflows.

Perhaps you’ve tried the version before https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman/releases/tag/2022-07-31 which fixed incremental text sync issue in neovim? If you’re still experiencing inconsistencies with a newer version, please do submit an issue to GH - the maintainer is very responsive 😉

Don't fall for the trap of note taking tools. At the end of the day, if you can write down your thoughts then it does the job. Spend less time on thinking about tools and more time on writing notes.

At the same time, in my opinion you should feel comfortable in your tool. If VimWiki does not suit your needs but you still want to use vim (like I do), you could look into https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim to edit notes in neovim, and then view them in Obsidian using :ObsidianOpen. I like to have my terminal and Obsidian open side-by-side for this workflow.

I'm currently switching from org-mode to obsidian for note taking and an important thing to get right is editing notes in neovim while they render in the obsidian app. obsidian.vim helps but we also need the obsidian UI to automatically follow when active note changes in neovim.

And of course there's also obsidian.nvim, if you want Obsidian-specific features.

There's also zk[2], a zettelkasten-based notetaking tool like Obsidian, but it provides its functionalities through a CLI and LSP server.

Yea worth it. As far as good for certain languages over others: text is text. Once you’re more experienced with how (neo)vim works, you won’t want to type anywhere. Like in the browser or obsidian

If i remember correctly, obsidian.nvim had something like that? Haven’t used myself so sorry if I’m wrong.

I use obsidian + obsidian.nvim

Because I like to collect notes from the browser with https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/markdownload/ to obsidian and edit in Nvim with https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Could try out this plugin for interacting with an obsidian vault: https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim
