@EpiphanicSynchronicity Wonderful. Very glad to hear it. Although I am a big fan of outlines, i really like having access to my flies through the sidebar - seems like the answer was in plain sight all along
@ednico Exciting! I’m gonna follow you because I want to experience your thoughts about it as you go. Hopefully I learn something new I can adopt into my vaults!
@joonhyeok_ahn Love it and so true. I think it was getting to the stage of just being an excuse to not actually do busy work and mope around trying to find the one. Onwards and upwards
@thibaultmol This is music to my ears Thibault. I think I was put off by Obsidian due to its UI but probably never gave it a fair try. Glad to hear you have found a home, and fingers crossed it is the end of the road for me.
@ednico@thibaultmol I’ve been teetering towards Obsidian for a little while also for more or less the same reasons.
What’s stopping me is the busywork that would be necessary to import my notes from Logseq and to tune them for Obsidian. I’ve got so many block references that it feels impossible to make the switch without breaking large swaths of my graph 🤔
@steven@thibaultmol I am afraid I have to agree - it took me quite a while to get my notes sorted and probably still a lot to go. Hoping it will be worth it in the long run, but so far really liking Obsidian and the Sync - just works
@ednico@thibaultmol that's good to know, I recently got so exasperated by Logseg Sync and having to constantly resolve conflicting/ duplicated/overwritten notes, that I stopped using it on mobile, too stressful.
@steven@thibaultmol Take my comments with a pinch of salt as only got it up and running today, but having tested it out in a few scenarios, it is a) so easy to set up, b) works across all devices, c) allows a lot more flexibility of what to sync
@ednico
Yep! I've even tested multiple scenarios of multiple people editing the same note at once using obsidian sync and I didn't result in conflicts (I should clarify that both users were online, so the sync happened immediately. This might be a different story of both users were offline when they were writing and then had to sink at a later time)
One annoying thing about obsidian sync is that the default settings don't actually sync certain types of files and stuff. Just change it @steven
@ednico@thibaultmol I can definitely foresee some teething problems, and whilst daunted by the import, another opportunity to review the graph isn’t all bad…
That's a surprise for me. Iirc, you were quite active on Obsidian forum (at least in some threads) and I thought you've been using Obsidian at least 2 years already.
@nhan
I'm surprised you recognise my name. But yeah... I have indeed been looking at it for a while... But never commited to it... Which again... Is very stupid in hindsight, wasted a lot of potential notes over the years.
@thibaultmol@nhan Tell me about this - what I think made me realise "what are you doing" was when I remember a note but could not remember where it was. After using Logseq for so long, I tried others which meant I had some notes everywhere
@nhan
I've been using daily notes properly for a good month and a half now. BUT before yesterday, they've all been very objective (just saying what i did and who i interacted with). @ednico
@thibaultmol@nhan This is so true - I check my notes from a while and were more colourful land detailed - my Logseq ones, yes are more to the point, but man, they are dry as anything
@zhenboli excellent. I had used it a while back, in 2020, but the split view was a no go. Now at least there is some WYSIWYG and enjoying it so far.
Impressed by how easy Sync was to set up and how the mobile app is close to the desktop app.
@ednico@obsidianmd Those are the very reasons I’ve become almost immune to the charms of anything but #Obsidian for my important long-term notes and writing. Knowing they’re in plaintext files in regular file-system folders and don’t need to be exported to be useable in the future is incredibly reassuring.
@EpiphanicSynchronicity@obsidianmd having gone round the houses of late I am really starting to appreciate the simplicity of Obsidian, not in terms of what it does, but in terms of allowing you to keep what is yours and in a simple format that can be read anywhere st anytime.
Also the fact that the base tool is not based on a subscription model is the cherry on top
@ednico@obsidianmd I also like that #Obsidian is bootstrapped and much less vulnerable to the #enshittification that #VC-funded shops are prone to when the loan sharks investors start getting impatient for big returns.
