    The way it's handled can make the difference in control.

    > by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.

    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

    The Obsidian team uses the "remote vault" feature[1] to collaborate on making Obsidian. Since Obsidian runs on local files you could use any shared file storage like Dropbox. If you want more granular version history, you can use Git, there's a nice plugin for it[2].

  • Show HN: Open-source obsidian.md sync server
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Aug 2023
    I've been using the main Obsidian git extension, https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git. Took some work to set it up ergnonomically but it works great now. I enabled auto-commit and push on save, and auto-pull when you start the editor. No merge conflicts yet between two machines.

    Should note I use Obsidian for a journal, so it's pretty much append-only.

    I use Obsidian which gives me full ownership of my notes and works offline. With an open-source plugin, I sync my vault across multiple devices. If I choose so, I can edit my notes in other apps. I can encrypt them end-to-end if that's my choice.
