Obsidian is a free note-taking platform that can construct wiki-style knowledge bases from folders of linked markdown files. One major feature of Obsidian is bidirectional linking, which enables deeper interconnection between ideas.

How I use Obsidian

  • daily notes as a journal + brain dump
  • anything lengthy or recurring gets turned its own page and linked to in the day’s daily note
  • selectively publish here once fleshed out and added links between related articles

Syncing

  • use remotely-save plugin
  • dropbox as a db (might migrate to s3 once i reach storage limit)
