A convincing presentation, I must admit. But Obsidian not being FOSS is a non-starter for me. I find note taking to be an enticing topic and try to follow the space. There is a lot of innovation going on. However, I rarely try new note taking apps. Notion, Joplin, Logseq, Zettlr, Obsidian, etc. Some are better than others for some people/tasks. But at the end, what matters is not the app/platform as much as the actual activity of note taking.

I think the appeal with obsidian in the first place is that it uses an open format(markdown). It's basically a really great markdown editor with plugins.

Same here. I read a recent thread on HN about Joplin, it is electron based, but FOSS. You could try it.

Do you have recommendations for a FOSS note taking app?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Zettlr. It works for me. But I think there are many others.

I find it really interesting, but it's not fully FOSS; Is it?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's not FOSS, but it does operate on just markdown text files, and exposes a rich plugin API by nature of being an electron app. I've considered creating a FOSS alternative in using Tauri in Rust

I would HIGHLY support that.
