obsidian.nvim VS zk-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

I've been using zk-nvim[0], it works well enough for me and uses Markdown.

I find zk-nvim does most of what I need for markdown downs, while using plain markdown.

Hi, i'm an author of https://github.com/dj8yfo/meudeus tool . I created it as a drop-in replacement of https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk for myself in personal workflow. zk, despite working great as an lsp, always let me wondering where i'm at, because the structure of different md files is different. mds has no journal, as i found out that myself was a too shortlived living thing to reread the history of what i was doing a month ago. It doesn't require editor plugins or being used as an lsp, you'd only require to replace helix with vim/nvim in config Cheers.

I am currently working off a fork of lazyvim, but good to know that it is the right place. I've also seen neorg, but I'm not sure what it's advantages really are over just using org files. Also, I saw that a zk plugin exists. Do you have any experience with that?

Currently there are three choices that looks promising to me: neorg (might be too complicated for me), zk.nvim, and telekasten.nvim. What is your experience if you use one of these plugins for note-taking? How well can they address the problems listed above?

zk

I'm using zk-nvim with markdown lsp, markdown / markdown_inline Treesitter and MKDNFLOW for my notes and tasks. This all works great and I also created this shortcut to archive selected lines to a different file
