Ok, the templater + button plugin for @obsdmd is neat, and works well on mobile.
I had a quick idea of how could I add a time stamped quick entry on an active note while out walking, and then quickly made a proof of concept before said walk.

Going to go on that walk now - very basic.
But how quick it was to do, it& #39;s barely scratching the surface - it& #39;s giving me ideas.
Switched to Obsidian a few months ago and I liked it then - but some of the recent improvements, plugins and mobile has made me have an ah-hah

I think especially for developers - if your looking for a personal note app, it& #39;s worth checking out Obsidian, might do a longer write up later.
Even not making use of the more advanced features, it& #39;s a great app for keeping notes as you work.

The files are markdown, and stored locally - and local apps, so if performance and ownership of information matters, nice win there.
They have a sync service - I haven& #39;t used that myself, but I do backup to git.

For the mobile app - I have it using iCloud and it& #39;s been smooth so far.
Can jump between desktop, iPhone and iPad pretty seamlessly.
Even if one day the app stops working - you still have all your stuff in markdown.

Can use frontmatter / YAML at the top of the files.
Few fields are Obsidian specific - tags and aliases, but you can add whatever else you want.
With plugins like DataView that let you query your notes - and use information from the meta data, it& #39;s very handy

You can also query on the incoming links / out links / etc.
The DataView plugin is adding a javascript API to use instead of the query syntax, haven& #39;t tried that out yet but that opens up alot of cool possibilities.

People who customize the hell out of vim or emacs and say why not just use that - shush!
