Really love how comprehensive @eric’s post is about Obsidian! It looks like an amazing tool, though I’m concerned that it’s closed source which not only does not respect my digital freedoms, but also risks costly vendor lock in and forced obscelesence.
I wonder if there’s a way to achieve what Obsidian can do with TiddlyWiki as @DrBrian suggests? I’ve known about TiddlyWiki but hesitated when I learned that it uses its own mark up language instead of Markdown. Though I also know that TiddlyWiki is highly extensible, and maybe there’s a way to make it work for me.
Also looking forward to @jbrennerFIT’s “One Card Deck to Rule Them All”, which is a curious name!
Lastly, I just want to link to this thread about negative case studies of closed source hardware which is receiving useful responses. It would be good to collect these stories for our collective knowledge!
