📊 Obsidian: Nutrition
At the end of the day, I use Dataview, a plugin for Obsidian, which allows me to make queries to my notes similar to SQL to visualize the collected information:

Apache Superset

This whole ideas to have data, visualisations and knowledge base in one private offline place is very appealing

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

A structured note-taking app for personal use
> Joplin is using md to.
The way it's handled can make the difference in control.

Joplin is using a popular open database with a healthy community and good tooling. It's as open as markdown. Maybe not for you, when you lack the knowledge, but markdown is similar closed for anyone not understanding filesystems and editors.
> This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me
Good for you, but that is very low level in terms of data-handling. Dataview is really just an elaborated search, there is no good level of interaction. Datacore, the next project of the Dataview is supposed to bring this, but it's not even usable yet AFAIK. Coincidental, the Obsidian-devs are also working on that front, but nothing is finished yet.
> https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!
That's useless when the app itself is not working. And even worse if you are not realizing the errors early.
> Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that?
My own experience. I've tested enough plugins over the years to know their dark corners.
> And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything
The thing is, technically you are not even having proper markdown, but a fork with some extensions of Obsidian. So some features of your parts might break when switching away from Obsidian. And the reason for all this is also because markdown is lacking definitions for what obsidian-people are doing with it. Coincidentally, this seems also one of the reasons why Joplin is using a database.
> And gosh, this is a good thing!
Not if they all suck.
> Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side.
Sure, because the plugins are lacking features, its the users fault... Maybe some users have just very different levels of requirements from you.
> Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown.
Aha. Which problems do you mean?
> Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content.
Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.
This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me, and it never breaks anything in my simple md files.
> Most plugins and features in that area are very brittle and overspecialized, working only well enough in their specific use case.
Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that? And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything, since they are a) in git. https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!
> And gosh, Obsidian has really a huge amount of plugins for data-handling.
And gosh, this is a good thing!
> At some point, it was so bad that there were multiple competing task-plugins which broke each other just because they had different formatting for dates.
Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side. It's not the fault of Markdown or Obsidian.
Just have a look on: https://github.com/ivan-lednev/obsidian-day-planner but you dont need a fancy task plugin like this, if you know your way around https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview or https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks
Since the Ecosystem around Obsidian and pure Markdown, most of the time I stay in my browser https://github.com/deathau/markdownload and nvim https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

I'm completely stressed out trying to fix this so I hope one of you would be able to help me. I'm trying to create a home page of sorts so I can navigate my files without using the folders. (SEE COMMENTS)

Show HN: I made an open-source Notion-style WYSYWIG editor
Have you heard of Obsidian? It's a note-taking app build on locally stored markdown files with bidirectional linking and a great ecosystem of third party plugins. One of the most popular plugins is https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview which lets you treat your notes as databases and query them to form tables. The creator has been working on its successor, Datacore https://github.com/blacksmithgu/datacore for a while - Datacore might come close to what you're looking for, its goals include WYSIWYG views and live editing inside tables.

How to manage tasks in game dev?
After lots of trying out, I found that the tool Obsidian has the excellent plugin Cardboard, which supports subtasks as items in a Trello style view. Not only I have all the backstory, texts, characters wiki style in one searchable, connected space, I can directly create tasks. The next step is to use the dataview plugin to manage in game data.

Do you prioritize gaming over other forms of entertainment?
Also also not OP but if you want a somewhat automated option you can use Obsidian with two plugins: Dataview and MediaDB.

Why I Like Obsidian
The killer feature for me is how extensible the software is made to be. It truly lets you use it how you want, and makes very few assumptions on how you are meant to use the software.
Case in point: one of my favorite productivity plugins is a full-fledged Kanban board. With deep integration into Obsidian features:

- Does anyone have any replacements for the Kanban plugin? (main dev seems to have moved on)

Obsidian, Genuinely the Best Free Program for WorldBuilding and How to Use it!
Kanban this is my favourite plugin, its essentially a really good tool for loose notetaking and has literally saved the progression of my worldbuilding. I keep stuff vaguely organised and just write dot points in it, so easy. link

Is there a way to sync kanban-board tasks to a calendar?
Would there be a calendar plugin out there that can synch with this kanban board by mgmeyers? Sync, in the sense, that when I create a new card in kanban, its date and task will automatically appear in the calendar as well?
-
Does anyone know a good program to save knowledge? To simplify life as a web designer?
I use the Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com) plugin and a Kanban board plugin (https://matthewmeye.rs/obsidian-kanban)

How do all of you revisit notes?
There‘s at least one plugin that supports rendering of Kanban boards, so one could work off of that. https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban
- Looking for a much much simpler alternative to Trello
-
Software that combines Visio, OneNote, and Trello
I guess you can do it in Obsidian with additional help of plugins like Excalidraw and Kanban.
