obsidian.nvim VS vim-markdown

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

I think vim-markdown does it too

after searching for a while I found there is a plugin vim-markdown but doesn't work

Not Neovim specific but vim-markdown supports some conceal functionality.

I can only speak to markdown for linking, but check out vim-markdown. ge lets you navigate from a markdown link to the file it’s linking to.

vim-markdown also did not work.

Personally, I use vim-markdown for this and other niceties for markdown.

Something like vim-markdown maybe?

I love this because I use markdown heavily in vim. I can't get vim markdown plugin to support auto bullet point insertion and nice `gq` bulleted list paragraph formatting at the same time[1]. However, vim lets you set a program that will do the paragraph formatting for you. I think I could use this to get `gq` to work while still having auto bullet point insertion!

Not sure which exact plugin that is, but seems like it just utilizes conceal, like this one.
