> 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.

Day Planner

Slated by u/tgrosinger : Setup repeating tasks, defer tasks to another daily note, move all incomplete tasks to today's daily note.

I was using Microsoft Task combined with Obsidian for notes at my job. That fragmented/duplicated the information collection. Then I find out Slated plugin and I dropped completely the Microsoft Task. Slated allow you to move uncompleted task to daily notes (future included) and create cross-links. That is quite convenient to do thigs like: - Define actions on meeting notes, move them to due date, keep the link between the to-do and the notes - Create recurrent tasks - Keep the links and notes centralized in obsidian, with all the cross-linking benefits
