Congratulations on the launch! I downloaded Obsidian for the first time last night and spent all morning customising it, so the timing for me couldn't be better.
Quick note, on the website the download button for MacOS is delegating to "https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/releases/dow..." despite the button saying "Version 1.0.0", I believe it should be "https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/releases/dow..." instead?

logseq
A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
> I'm not sure how is this different then for example OneNote
The main difference is that your notes are stored in a readable plain text format.
But if you are interested in an open format, you may as well go the full route and use the open-source app logseq instead.

obsidian-remarkable
Integrates the reMarkable tablet into an Obsidian workflow by letting users quickly capture and insert their drawings.
I was quite proud of myself when I brought Simon Welker's obsidian-remarkable[0] plugin back to life a few months ago. It's one-way screenshot sync, but the experience is stellar (single shortcut, sub-second later you have a cropped, transparent screenshot of what's on your remarkable screen with no toolbar etc). I find it really useful for both staging meeting notes into Obsidian before summarising them, and for adding monochrome 'brutalist hand-drawn' graphics to my personal documents.

obsidian-git
Integrate Git version control with automatic commit-and-sync and other advanced features in Obsidian.md
Here is a way to capture pages from the browser in Obsidian https://stephanango.com/obsidian-web-clipper
https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git will help you sync across platforms
Obsidian has all files locally so can be read offline
I use a mix of tagging and two plugins (dataview and tasks) to accomplish the last one.

Not sure what approach you're stumbling with re: images, but they definitely support them, but you can literally just drop an image onto the editor and it'll embed it, including locating it where you've specified that attachments should go.
The default file per folder is not built-in, but there is a handy community plugin[1] which does it.

A couple tips for those new to Obsidian:
- Don't rush to install a bunch of plugins. Start with the defaults and add only what you need. It is easy for some to spend more time tweaking Obsidian than actually using it.
- When you are ready for plugins, you may want Omnisearch[1] to be one of your first.

Love Obsidian. My main problem with it and similar markdown apps for notes is the way they store images and attachments. I find it very confusing to maintain multiple different files per note and IMO the only app that nailed it is FSNotes[1] using the textbundle[2] format (with a custom implementation for encrypted notes too). I think it's elegant and future-proof.
But FSNotes is for the Apple ecosystem only and I can't tie myself to a single platform for something so important (I don't need another artificial reason to make OS switching so difficult).
I hope the textbundle feature request[3] gets some love soon. It would be great for Exalidraw files integration too[4].

While I encourage supporting the Obsidian team by paying, there are ways that you can get the same features without paying.
Sync - On iOS, you can use iCloud to sync your files between your Mac and iPhone. I imagine that there are more configuration options for this on Android.
Publish - lots of different ways to deploy your notes to a site. There's one repo that helps you publish with Mkdocs [1], and I'm sure there are other tools the community has created to solve this problem.
It may not be as simple to set up as Notion, but that's the price you pay for wanting a solution to be cheap, private, and let you own your own data.

Wohoo! I've been using Obsidian for 2+ years and even wrote some personal plugins [0] to automatically backup my vault on GH, import all my Pocket.com highlights, etc. Highly recommend it :)

Have you checked out the Obsidian Pandoc plugin? I think it might meet your needs:
https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc
That being said standard Markdown does not provide notation for certain things, so it is somewhat up to interpretation how to convert certain features to standard Markdown.

Is standard markdown a thing? What is now called commonmark [1] was called by thar name originally, but the name was changed after John Gruber objected. Other than that, there seem to be a plethora of markdown dialects, none of which is very “standard” as far as I can tell. Perhaps variants of the github flavor are most widespread, though.

app
Think fearlessly with end-to-end encrypted notes and files. For issues, visit https://standardnotes.com/forum or https://standardnotes.com/help.
I've been working on a new project https://www.capsulel.ink
some people have told me that to them capsule takes the place of some of their actions in note taking. I definitely save collections of links in my notes. I _rarely_ have "shared" my notes beyond copy and paste. On iOS I have done some sharing with lists and the joint editing has been helpful.
I switched to Standard Notes [1] on iOS (and across all my apple laptops and desktop computers) I switched mainly for performance reasons. The native Notes app was just weird with syncing updates. Standard Notes does it easily and sometimes no the native notes app I would wind up with multiple copies of the same notes.
I will check out obsidian though, I have lots of interest in different ways to organize, create, save, and share information online.

If you just want a knowledge base in Vim, have you tried Vimwiki[1]?
I use Vimwiki in vim and Obsidian outside of Vim -- they can be configured to use exactly the same pile of Markdown files as a vault/wiki.

Cmd-K to find any line in your notes and Cmd-shift-K to find any line in your page. Starting with 0.8.3 there is also a native find-in-page feature, https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/Find%20in%20page, which can search anything that is visible including results of queries
-
There are two Obsidian plugins for this: Map View[0] and Leaflet[1]. You can store the geocoded locations using YAML frontmatter or Dataview inline fields.
