I’m trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

    I don’t mean to be all “BuT iT’s cLOseD SoURce” but you should give Logseq or Zettlr a try. They’re similar WYSIWYG markdown editors, but also FOSS. Zettlr also has vim keys.

    Plus Obsidian is horrible at editing tables.

      Also not a fan about the closed source thing, but I like about Obsidian that it’s all just markdown. If I ever need to ditch it, I can keep and use my existing files as they are.

      Would this also be possible with Zettlr or Logseq?

        Been using Logseq for six months, and yes. It’s all just .md and media files referenced by relative links.

        This was an important factor the choice to use it. Having used several note taking applications / systems, getting your data ‘out’ in a painless fashion is the #1 concern.
