**Because [[Obsidian]] is sometimes better than [[Notion]]** - Obsidian is local & file-based. Even if Obsidian were to go away, these notes won't - This is their killer feature - Obsidian is **fast**. Linking between things in Obsidian is CRAZY fast. - Unlinked mentions is a great feature - The extensibility of Obsidian is great. If you don't like how it looks or works, you can usually change it to make it that way. - Customizable menus and hot keys are dope - The plugins ecosystem is crazy - Themes and custom CSS - Dataview can partly make up for the lack of databases, and can do some things Notion can't - The security of having a local copy of your notes is great. Being able to create zipped "for emergencies" copies is great - Local files open up the ability to use other applications/code in conjunction with Obisidian - Used NodeJS + JavaScript to mass edit notes - Also used VSCode for global find/replace - Built-in `tag` support is nice, rather than hacking them - You can use [[Obsidian URIs]] to do things from outside obsidian, like link to [[Obsidian URIs#^abcde]] > [!NOTE]- Callouts > Callouts aren't bad, either! Especially these collapsible ones. **** # More ## Source ## Related - [[Obsidian Annoyances]] - [[Obsidian]] - [[Obsidian vs Notion]] - [[Obsidian URIs]]
