Great article James! I've tired Obsidian too and it's amazing. I love the graph which allows me to visually see how my backlinking relates. The biggest downside is the lack of a mobile app. I love to read and think in bed before I get to sleep, and being able to open my iPad and read my notes is a huge requirement for me.

Obsidian has mobile apps for iOS and Android now. Not sure if it works on iPad though.

To be honest, in the last period, I also feel like Notion is a bit too much. It seemed cool in the first place, but since I am using it alone, and not in a team, I feel like over time things may get complex and tricky. We'll give a shot to Obsidian too right away.

Notion is a powerhouse but requires documentation to use it 😅

That makes sense Alin Pisica - works better in teams I felt that way as well - the complexity became too much.

I'm glad you are going to give Obsidian a go.

Cool write up I am using Notion alongside Obsidian. I prefer it for note taking because the experience feels much better than doing it in Notion.

Great article! I tried obsidian about a year ago and I really like it too. they didn't have a mobile application though and that was something important to me because i like to add quick notes through the day from my phone :3 that's why i stuck with notion. I do agree though notion has a lot of features and I don't use all of them

Thank you!

I get that. I was lucky I found about it when the mobile app was now available. The mobile app streamlines my creation process.

It really is. Oh, I really should have shared that (article idea 😉). There's an app called Taskito on android. It gives me a better view of my tasks and subtasks.

Also, thank you for reading
