ooh, this is great, lets hope there’s some adoption.

Im quite happy with just a few additions to basic markdown, however I’ve been holding off using canvases much because they’re not portable, should Obsidian turn to the dark side so perhaps im missing out.

Any recommended usecases for canvases over notes?

I started trying to use Joplin and couldnt get over it using a database rather than raw .md files. Once I’d added a bevy of plugins the UI really didnt seem to be handling thinhgs well.

I considered VS Code ± Foam and found myself doing a lot of the work baked into Hopping/Obsidian myself, and could see coming a less rich plugin ecosystem once I was done.

Quite happily using Obsidian now and managing my files myself. Glad I can just get on with de-OneNoting now.

Seeing privacy & security taken seriously offsets the lack of OSS for me.
