    Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.

    Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there’s decent pdf support so I don’t need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that’s MS Word.

        I think the use cases are different, as Zettlr seems like a pure publication tool but Obsidian (at least originally) was more of a personal note organizer that grew due to having community plugins.

        I do agree though that Zettlr is a better publication tool, though I wouldn’t change Obsidian for it as a personal organizer/kb.

      Obsidian is what I used to keep my notes while playing Book of Hours. It was a fantastic tool and I’ll definitely use it in the future!

        How’s the Book of Hours? I played a good deal of Cultist Simulator, but it tends to suck me in and I recover few hours later without an understanding what just happened.

          I finished my playthrough a couple days ago, after 80 hours. It’s much more forgiving than CS – there’s no lose condition, as far as I can tell. There’s also a shitload more to keep track of, hence me using Obsidian. I personally found the experience of tracking [what books give what resource] and [what resources make what crafting recipes] to be extremely satisfying, but your mileage may vary.

        Definitely, I said latex but I wanted to mean Pandoc.
        The only thing is that applying a docx theme format to Pandoc was very challenging, although I would blame docx, not pandoc.
