obsidian-kindle-plugin VS obsidian.nvim

If you want to setup a zettelkasten type system for free, with minimal effort / requirement on any plugins (just "templater" will be helpful) I highly recommend https://reasonabledeviations.com/2022/04/18/molecular-notes-...

If you take kindle highlights when you read, the https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin plugin is awesome. I use the following template to create book review ("source") files

I use the Kindle Highlights plugin and love how it works. When I highlight, I can also write a note in my kindle as "[[sample_backlink]]" (without the quotes), and when I use the plugin to import the highlights from my book, Obsidian automatically registers the note it as a backlink.

It's open source, so you can see if it does anything nefarious (or, if you're not a programmer, trust that others have checked this already). https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin

Shameless plug for this /r/ObsidianMD Kindle highlights plugin. I have used it for leisure reading and professional/school textbooks with great success.

use this

Fast-forward to now, and I simply take notes in Notepad/Notepad++ and save them with .MD extensions, and it's completely effortless for me to search them later and see how previous notes relate to my current notes. This, coupled with plugins like https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin allows me to read my class books on Kindle (my wife and I share ~400-ish books, which we've got highlights and notes on for ~100) really help.

There are extensions like obsidian-kindle-plugin which can sync Kindle highlights to Obsidian & Obsidian has mobile apps which can use their paid sync or you can use free sync mechanisms(e.g. local network).

Don't fall for the trap of note taking tools. At the end of the day, if you can write down your thoughts then it does the job. Spend less time on thinking about tools and more time on writing notes.

At the same time, in my opinion you should feel comfortable in your tool. If VimWiki does not suit your needs but you still want to use vim (like I do), you could look into https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim to edit notes in neovim, and then view them in Obsidian using :ObsidianOpen. I like to have my terminal and Obsidian open side-by-side for this workflow.

I'm currently switching from org-mode to obsidian for note taking and an important thing to get right is editing notes in neovim while they render in the obsidian app. obsidian.vim helps but we also need the obsidian UI to automatically follow when active note changes in neovim.

And of course there's also obsidian.nvim, if you want Obsidian-specific features.

There's also zk[2], a zettelkasten-based notetaking tool like Obsidian, but it provides its functionalities through a CLI and LSP server.

Yea worth it. As far as good for certain languages over others: text is text. Once you’re more experienced with how (neo)vim works, you won’t want to type anywhere. Like in the browser or obsidian

If i remember correctly, obsidian.nvim had something like that? Haven’t used myself so sorry if I’m wrong.

I use obsidian + obsidian.nvim

Because I like to collect notes from the browser with https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/markdownload/ to obsidian and edit in Nvim with https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Could try out this plugin for interacting with an obsidian vault: https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim
