notes-android VS advanced-tables-obsidian

I actually have my own little nextcloud instance running on a $5/month digital ocean virtual private server. My intent was for family (only 3 people) and i to use it...but honestly, most of the time it is only me. I draft conventional old text files (though i do use markdown)...and save the files in a nextcloud folder to enable sync anywhere. For actually synching and drafting of the text/note files, i have the nextcloud mobile app as well as the nextcloud notes app on my phone (https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-notes)...so now i can jot down notes anywhere that i carry my phone. I do lack some advanced features that zim wiki would bring, like linkages, some color formatting, styles...but for my workflow i found them not to be ultra necessary anyway. Side note: i use nextcloud for general file synching, rss/feed reading, and other functions...so it was not setup only/specifically for notes...the note taking just came along as an extra benefit. Any headaches in managing my own nextcloud instance (and just like managing any of your own infrastructure, there are always costs), are outweighed by all the features that i legitimately use/benefit from nextcloud.

If you use nextcloud, you could also use other text editors on mobile phone like joplin, qOwnNotes, etc. - so you are not stuck only with the nextcloud notes app. Also, if you are not an adherent to open source software, my workflow can also be used via dropbox, box.com, onedrive, etc. too i suppose (you're just drafting notes on the road and saving them up to someone e;lse's server/cloud). I hope that helps!

You can use Advanced Tables Plugin. Very useful for formating, sorting, and other utilities for tables on markdown format: https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian

Before they breathed new life into that project I used the following to better manage tables: - https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian - https://github.com/ganesshkumar/obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table

I use advanced tables[0] and Excel to markdown tables[1] plugins - they make working with tables in Obsidian a bit easier.

That said, I think tables are markdown's Achilles heel - anything involving multi-line content starts to make things complicated.

I really like make.md for its powerful and simplified design. Advanced Tables and Excel to markdown table are great if you are working with tables a lot and also "smaller" plugins like paste url into selection and tag wragler really can make your life easier.

I can recommend https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian, makes dealing with tables much easier.

As usual you've probably got to rely on plugins. [Table Enhancer](https://github.com/Stardusten/ob-table-enhancer) isn't released yet, but it's very usable. I used to use [Advanced Tables](https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian) but Table Enhancer is better, so I only use it to auto-format the markdown now.

I tried to look for a solution: https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian/issues/44

Advanced Tables you need this one, just get it, it lets you make tables without developing a headache. link

There are plugins like improved tables ( https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian ) which make markdown tables quicker to write up.
