obsidian.nvim VS glow.nvim

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

Try this plugin called glow

Perhaps take a look at Glow.nvim?

Something like this might be interesting: But I guess you might be looking for something more integrated. https://github.com/ellisonleao/glow.nvim

https://github.com/ellisonleao/glow.nvim - A must for getting live in buffer previews

You want the preview in neovim itself and not in an external application? What kind of preview did you have in mind? Neovim typically runs in a terminal, and in the terminal, you typically can't have graphics or multiple fonts or other things advanced markdown would support. There are plugins that would preview with something like glow—see here. Not sure if that would met your needs.

i usually use https://github.com/ellisonleao/glow.nvim for quick in-terminal peeks, and https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim (browser and terminal side-by-side) if I need to refer while editing.

I don't know about brow.sh but you can do it with glow.nvim, which uses Glow
