  • I turn that markdown content into something more 'presentable' a variety of ways, that are on a spectrum of automation. The most user friendly option is the Obsidian Publish (a paid service) by the developer of Obsidian. I keep some public math notes on my publish site. PM me if you are curious to see it, as I am unsure if I want to publicly connect it to my reddit at the moment But there are infinitely many ways to turn markdown files (and non-markdown attachments) into websites, emails, pdfs, anything via tools such as Pandoc Read more about Pandoc here: https://pandoc.org

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  • I use *Obsidian* to organize everything in *markdown* now. It is free, local, and customizable. I couldn't stand the thought of investing as much time as I had on notion (250 hours over 4 months) only to feel it difficult to migrate my data. Markdown gives me peace of mind because I have already successfully opened my notes in 8 alternative software options. It is a standard that is widely used, and will probably outlast a service like notion. Read more about Obsidian here: https://obsidian.md Read more about markdown here: https://www.markdownguide.org
