Obsidianis based onMarkdown file(used form a nominal expression)this localityKnowledge management software, and the developers promise that Obsidian will be available to individual users.Permanently freeObsidian was founded by Shida Li and Erica Xu during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine. Li and Xu met while studying at the University of Waterloo and have collaborated on several development projects. Obsidian was originally released on March 30, 2020. version 1.0.0 was released in October 2022, and version 1.1 added Canvas. Version 1.1 was released in December 2022 with the addition of the Canvas core plugin.

Why build another note-taking application, Obsidian?As the cliché goes, we started using Obsidian because Erica couldn't find anything that would fulfill her need to build a personal knowledge base. From TiddlyWiki to TheBrain, she's tried all sorts of software; nothing felt wrong though.

Although we refer to it as your personal knowledge base or your "second brain", we also like to think of it as an IDE for your notes. You can think of the IDE as a powerful front-end that tries to understand your code, such as where functions and variables are stored and what their types are, so that it's very easy to navigate through the code and get suggestions as you type. as you type.

In this sense, for most current note-taking apps, using notes feels like using notes without the syntax highlighting,Code autocompletionmaybeIn the case of Git integrationWriting code. Something that all programmers have taken for granted for decades. That's sad, don't you think? Today's knowledge workers face new challenges all the time, and they deserve better tools.

Yes, that's why we built Obsidian, "another note-taking application".

Product Advantages

Recently a chance to use WeChat reading, saw a netizen shared a obsidian WeChat reading notes synchronization plug-in, with curiosity to understand the obsidian, can only say that a little into the pit.

To briefly summarize the advantages of obsidian as I see it (a short time of shallow understanding, so if any of the big boys see it, they can add to it):

1. markdown + back to local.

The cloud does have the advantage of the cloud, but the return to the significance of local storage is actually very important. Language sparrow is to support local, but I personally feel that it is not particularly stable, sometimes the network environment is poor when the use of the time will be affected, the local storage format is not particularly common. In addition, as long as your data and information in the hands of others, in fact, can not guarantee 100% stability, so many years of business wind and water, the impression is an example of a change in the charging policy, the form of Microsoft's home can be said to cut things. Ali's products will go where, not much comment. obsidian built on the basis of local markdown files, if you change a computer, just copy the entire directory on the line, these files you can also use their own way to save synchronization, I am synchronized to a github, obsidian support through the plug-in automatic synchronization.

We have a consensus, markdown this format can survive longer than most of the enterprises should be longer, even if the future obsidian also sunset, the same will have his alternatives will appear, this time the flavor of these very pure markdown files can be seamlessly integrated into the past. Return to the local another important significance of this knowledge, thinking, data, is no longer your casual excerpts uploaded, to be treated like their own student days of those notebooks to record their own thinking process and learning results as carefully.

2. Dual-chain methodology

This is probably a point that will lead to war, and I don't want to elaborate too much. I have always believed in the saying that real learning relies on the activities and habits in the mind, and tools are the sharps that carry these activities and habits, rather than putting the cart before the horse. Most of us are ordinary, from a young age may not have developed good habits of learning and thinking, appropriate to toss themselves to contact some methodology is not a bad thing, gain and loss of their own mind can be. Like I only throw out a "double chain" concept, interested people will naturally go to find, have the subjective to think about how to use, how to look at.

After a cursory look at the usage of many of the greats, one has to wonder if it's the people and not the tools that are truly great. Even if you give them the simplest txt and folders, you can also whole well organized. Raise your hand to throw group influence millions of people in the big brother, in the record of tools may be used every day in the hands of a small paper notebook and a ballpoint pen.

3、Plug-in idea

With the popularity of Microsoft vscode, custom plug-ins have become popular. There are two sides to everything, too many plug-ins too rich, it will lead to the proliferation of content, can not focus on the knowledge itself; plug-ins are too few, some of the necessary needs can not be realized, we must rely on other tools, there is to maintain more than one copy of the same kind of tool. obsidian plug-ins give a person the feeling that is, very implicitly low-profile. Not very urgently let you go to use a variety of plug-ins, but in you think of certain points when, found that there has been very good support, and very good to use. I am currently using the community calendar plug-in, diary plug-in and WeChat reading plug-in, I have to say that very good to use, interpretation of the essence of the plug-in, small and beautiful.
