obsidian-leaflet VS CherryTree

Perhaps Leaflet will be able to help.

I am using "Obsidian Leaflet" from Jeremy Valentine (a true TTRPG Plug-in Hero, all his plugins are amazing). It is made for normal street maps, but you can embed a picture and it works really well for me. I use it for City Maps and for my World Map.I can link some screenshots later, if you're interested.

I use leaflet for that personally. Just make sure you don't change the resolution on the map once you start putting pins in.

Obsidian Leaflet - Lets you create a zoomable interactive map from images you put in your vaults, basically letting you create a simplified Google Maps of whatever fantasy maps you have, all while you can plop them in any note you have. Honestly my favorite of the bunch- this plugin alone blows any other worldbuilding program out of the water for me.

Leaflet Map View

You can try either of these plugins: - Map View - Leaflet Plugin

Obsidian.md is primarily a notetaking app, but the Leaflet plugin is fantastic, and lets you link each marker to its own note.

I am started using CherryTree. (There is a screenshot here.)

I wonder if an extensible editor (example: Atom) could do both of those things with Markdown files. Assuming by styling you mean things like being able to highlight and custom-style some text, even in a typically text-only view of a markdown file. It wouldn't be a big surprise if that could be done...somehow. Collapsible points ought to be doable for sure.

Personally I use other methods for styling within markdown, for example emoji, tags, link formatting with brackets (for things that are not really links), etc.

I also take any list that's longer than 8-10 items and break it up by category or reorganize it so it's less visually overwhelming.

Otherwise you may find it helpful to look into more rich-editor-style notetaking solutions like cherrytree or Notecase Pro. The latter is proprietary but I used it for years and was very happy with it. Good luck in your search.

I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned cherrytree yet.

cherrytree

I use FocusWriter. It's a lightweight, full-screen app that does more than enough for a manuscript. I used to use Google Docs with Wavemaker, which has a lot of extra functions like cards and timelines, etc. Docs slowed down a lot with a lot of open windows or really long docs, however. And with WFH the sync isn't that important to me anymore. For notes lately I've been using CheeryTree. All these are free.

CherryTree for a general note-taking database. As an Application Packager I can't remember PowerShell scripts I wrote two weeks ago, so saving my recipes in here is priceless.

How do you keep track of/document everything? I have been using Cherry Tree. It is a fancy open source note taking program that lets you keep notes in a tree like structure.
