Today I learned that Obsidian allows you to use Vim key bindings by enabling it in the settings. I also love that Obsidian wants to make sure you know how to use Vim by asking you what is the command to quit Vim without saving, before finally enabling Vim mode.
Obsidian's Bases, a core plugin for creating databases from your notes, is finally available in its public releases since version 1.9.10!
When I switched from Notion to Obsidian as my main note-taking and knowledge base app, databases were the only thing I missed about Notion, but now Obsidian has an equivalent feature in Bases at last. At this point, the only purposes I use Notion for is creating databases to share publicly, and collaborating with someone else.
In my previous post, I talked about how the Obsidian community plugin Remotely Save convinced me to switch from Notesnook to Notion for my as my note-taking software, as the plugin mitigates the main disadvantage of Obsidian compared to its competitors of inability to sync notes across multiple devices without paying for a subscription.
Similarly, I have begun to migrate the majority of my Notion notes to Obsidian thanks to Remotely Save. It helps that Obsidian actually has an official Importer plugin that supports Notion notes. I enjoy having more control over my notes in my own device, by being able to directly edit the source of my notes.
Migrated my Notesnook notes to Obsidian and Standard Notes and deleted my Notesnook account. Notesnook is a decent note-taking software if you prioritise open-source and privacy-focused software, though I have always found its note organisation system rather clunky.
I am officially boarding the Obsidian love train. Shout out to the Remotely Save community plugin in particular for enabling note syncing without paying for the official Obsidian Sync, and convincing me to switch from Notesnook.
