> [!tldr] **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 - It's actually pretty easy to make your own obsidian plugins! - [[Semantic Canvas]] - [[Auto-properties Plugin]] - Themes and custom CSS - The [[Dataview Plug-in]] can partly make up for the lack of databases, and can do some things [[Notion]] can't - Same goes for [[Obsidian Bases]] - 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 [[Python]] - 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]]
