"Your account will be permanently closed" -- my reasons for leaving Evernote as a loyal user since 2011
Mobile Document Scanning using QuickScan iOS app and OCR search with Omnisearch and Text Extractor: I was a power user of the Scannable app by Evernote for capturing scans of receipts and documents, so moving on from this was going to be tough. But QuickScan has the same functionality (OCR scanning) and has quick outputs to where my scans are stored in my Obsidian folder. Using Omnisearch, searching my scans feels just as intuitive and snappy as what Evernote used to feel like for me.

Tip: Use an Obsidian folder to store your ChatGPT threads
Combine this with my favorite Obsidian search plugin Omnisearch and you end up making this bunch of random chat threads useful - now I can link and tag across, and source them for new ideas.

Using Github to write my notes has helped me retain knowledge immensely.
The Omnisearch plugin might be what you need. No AI but weighted results depending on where your query words are found (filename, titles, frequency...). It works well for me, it's my primary way to find notes.
-
Why do you think Obsidian is better than the alternatives?
The tag system works well for GTD workflows and organization in general. Default search isn't the best but the Omnisearch plugin fixes that.

Search & Omnisearch frustrations - prioritizing exact matches over fuzzy search?
Also - and speaking about plugins in general - the best way to get an issue resolved is to ask it on the GitHub page. If the plugin is maintained, its developer will usually gladly help you solve your problem :) https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch/issues
-
Is there a way to search for a word or phrase just in the current note?
I think Obsidian Omnisearch can help you with that.
-
Perfect note taking and information organizing solution - does it exist ?
The Omnisearch plug-in for Obsidian does search in PDFs and images via OCR.

PDF notes in Obsidian with Zotero
In my opinion it is absolutely possible. The developer of the Omnisearch plugin now works on PDF indexing - https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch/releases/tag/1.6.5-beta.3.

Notion-like Editing Experience - Is That Possible?
For your particular complaints, check out obsidian-columns and Creases or Obsidian Outliner. The new Canvas built in plugin might also be of interest.

a good app to get shit done. Used microsoft todo and Dynalist
[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md). It is a killer app. Add one [plugin](https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner) and you have an outliner like Dynalist. Add another [plugin](https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/) and you have a perfect GTD environment. All free, all in markdown.

Show HN: Obsidian 1.0
Happy to share some of what's been working for me. Some of this is stuff I'm actively using, some of it hasn't quite made it into the "day to day use" yet, but I've been experimenting with. (Random personal advice: Never let your note taking tools feel like using them is work, that's the first step towards not keeping notes!)
- For fans of "outline workflows" Outliner is excellent. A whole bunch of outline/indented text movement and manipulation commands: https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner
- For easily refactoring notes that are getting too large you want to have Note Refactor. It gives you tools to easily take blocks of text and quickly cut them out into new notes. Its not magic out of the box, but its a powerful tool you can use when building workflows with other plugins. https://github.com/lynchjames/note-refactor-obsidian
- Local images is another good one, working with online content can get messy when you copy notes and then want to be able to work any where you have Obsidian synched. I've got it on my Laptop, two desktops, phone and tablet... I want to carry as much of my related content with me so having an easy way to convert remote images to local copies is a big productivity boost when making notes about content from the internet. https://github.com/aleksey-rezvov/obsidian-local-images
- For analysing the content for some useful stats there's: https://github.com/SkepticMystic/graph-analysis but this is for a relatively specific sort of analysis.
- More general and flexible analysis and graph visualisations are available from the combination of https://github.com/zsviczian/excalibrain , https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview and https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin ... in short query your notes and note metadata like its a database, build reports and data visualisations, and then excalibrain is a whole thing built on top of that power.
- Dynamic embeds of outside content are available from https://github.com/dhamaniasad/obsidian-rich-links and https://github.com/Seraphli/obsidian-link-embed depending on the style and use you like. While there is a built in functionality to preview the links to other notes when you hover over them https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Page+preview which has a demo here https://youtu.be/dmnVml_jbsQ?t=222
- And a real force multiplier is adding https://github.com/Taitava/obsidian-shellcommands to your setup. It lets you run scripts and prompt for information and really invest time in procedural automation without having to build your own javascript plugins. So you can setup your system so that when you use the refactor to cut out a new note, the automations will trigger, ask you to give the note a new heading, tags, and you have a little script that checks last modified time of the folder tree of text files, and looks at the folder of the last modified time and asks you in that popup if you want to move the new note to the folder the note you cut it from is located in. Or anything else you can imagine using outside automation and scripting tools on your plain text markdown files.
These are just a start and if you haven't already browsed the plugins at https://obsidian.md/plugins I wholeheartedly recommend it, people are adding new cool things pretty often and other plugins add new functionality that makes them worth checking out if they were previously not something that you found interesting. I do a read through of the plugin list probably at least once every month or two just to see what's new, and more often if I'm experimenting with changes to my workflow.

After Obsidian and Logseq, I give Dendron a try
IMO: Obsidian does a good job in making me reflect and review notes, but not enough to prompt me to write more of them. Logseq does the exact opposite.
There's nothing wrong with Obsidian per se, but that's probably the crux of my issue with it. I'm not very naturally inclined to taking notes in the first place, and Obsidian just hasn't made me take that many more notes than I used to.
Logseq on the other hand has an editor that makes it hard for you to even write longer / multi-line blocks. In some ways, I suspect that writing in bullet points or smaller blocks encourages shorter but more frequent note writing, and my brain seems to respond well to that. Obsidian can technically do that to some degree, but the editor doesn't do enough to make me write shorter and more atomic notes, even with the Outliner[0] plugin installed.

Is there software that looks like Google Keep with blocks but with infinite nesting groups like Workflowy?
As far as workflowly, the general workings of workflowly is an "outliner". I have been using Obsidian.md and the Outliner plugin: https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner .
-
Is there any bullet-threading plug-in for Obsidian?
I have seen Outliner plug-in in Obsidian https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner
-
What are some of your current frustrations with Obsidian?
It lacks a true outliner. There is a plugin, https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner, but up to now it is difficult to manage complex multi-line nested list.
-
How can I achieve drop down sections and highlighted links like in the pic?
The drop down Arrows for each Paragraph Looks like the plugin Outliner.
