> 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

This is very educational, but is very similar functionality available through the Day Planner plugin?

That's Day Planner! :D

this one (https://github.com/lynchjames/obsidian-day-planner)?

To organize the day I recommend to use the plugn Day planner the same one will create a gant chart with the tasks that you intend to fulfill throughout the day.

Here you go - you'll see I have two panes in my right sidebar, the top-right pane displays the Outline of my open note and the bottom-right pane shows my Day Planner schedule for today (which is pretty simple today since I'm writing the second half of my 6k word final for a class).

lynchjames/obsidian-day-planner: An Obsidian plugin for day planning and managing pomodoro timers from a task list in a Markdown note.

Try SiYuan Note. It's free and open source local-first mix of Notion and Obsidian.

SiYuan Note. https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

Siyuan - GPL Licensed - Probably the most advanced personal note/knowledge management app on the market - blows Joplin, Obsidian, Logseq out of the water: https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

SiYuan, open source and I believe cross-platform, has a lot of awesome features (https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan)

Do you know of https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan? It's not Markdown though, and English documentation is somewhat lacking. But it's *much* more performant than Logseq.

Here's a plug for SiYuan (I'm not affiliated with at all and I'm still using Obsidian): It's like Logseq but much more performant: 100% local, FOSS, block-based, PDF support, etc. You can write long form or in bullet point freely. The downside is it's not markdown but in plain text JSON. The other side of the coin is that much for easier to do "basic" thing such as merging table cells, fully WYSIWYG, etc. Another major downside is very barebone English documentation.

SiYuan - https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan - have a poke around. A good number of things is in English but the community that surrounds it seems to be principally Chinese.
