vim-dotoo VS obsidian.nvim

dotoo

Cool, I'll keep an eye out on that. One of the plugins that stood out to me was vim-dotoo but unfortunately it's written in vimscript. I have no idea how vimscript compares to lua other than that the latter is less pain to write but I figured if one switches to Neovim/Emacs, learning lua/elisp is a responsibility of the user and I'm not interested in also learning to use vimscript if I want to make modifications especially if that knowledge doesn't benefit me anywhere else (e.g. mpv plugins use lua).

Nice idea, thanks for sharing, I am going to borrow this for my plugin https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-dotoo

It looks like there's similar options for vim (https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-dotoo), so I should be all set :)

Regarding your first question, you can check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsv33iOnH34, which is an overview of vim-dotoo plugin, another orgmode clone that was an inspiration for my plugin. It covers basics of orgmode, and it should get you started.

I use vim-dotoo with Orgzly on my phone, sync'd across devices using Syncthing. I really like the features of org-mode and Orgzly on my phone. While this is Android-based there are probably similar solutions for the Apple ecosystem.

You can find the source here - https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-dotoo

I use a org-mode based task tracking system I build as a vim plugin which I named vim-dotoo (https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-dotoo).

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
