What people previously said about Obsidian

“As someone using both Obsidian and Note Air 3C, I'm going to give it a try tomorrow.”

“Biggest plus I have noticed so far is that this plugin seems to solve the limitation in polling rate of stylus input that obsidian has. Neither Excalidraw or Ink work with handwriting because the letters come out all spikey and illegible.”

“I’m bee to obsidian, also coming from OneNote, and would love to be able to seamlessly transition from handwritten notes to text.”

“Doesn’t obsidian natively support latex?”

“I use my vault for running my TTRPG campaign. Information on characters, places, and most importantly my session notes.”

“I used mine to write something i own. All other clutter from notepad or anywhere else is now on obsidian.”

“Obsidian is some of the cleanest data to train if done property is what I’ve been told.”

“I really don't know why I would or should use Obsidian.”

“obsidian got lots of things to customize and you can get lost in it easily.”

“Never used Obsidian Sync, mostly using a Google Drive sync. I would definitely love to try it myself, just have to buy an eInk 😅”

“There is a git client on iOS called Working Copy (there might be others) with Shortcuts support.”

“I've used Dropbox since the beginning of Obsidian and never even had to think about it.”

“So far I've been syncing my vault with Obsidian Git and also Onedrive and the "Personal Vault" feature for the more sensitive notes. I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and replace OneDrive with iCloud, because I'll hit the 5 GB limit on my free account soon.”

“I already had a seafile server set up for personal inter-device file sync, I was really excited that obsidian has a community plugin that leverages this. If you have the infrastructure, look into hosting seafile”

“I had a workflow that converted my math notes into LaTeX but it was real janky, might give it another go with Obsidian this time”

“The best and safest solution was 100% Obsidian Sync. Almost no sync conflicts between all devices on different operating systems, native sync implementation, crazy fast sync, easy version history, and the most important was encrypted files. On desktop, I also use Git to back up my files to my Seafile instance.”

“I rate it 18 out of 18–but only using the obscure Obsidian-JM scale.”

“Did Obsidian’s Sync not work for you? Imo it’s even simpler to use than GitHub”

“If so, enable Apple advanced data protection and then set up your obsidian vault in iCloud.”

“Glad you found a way to make Obsidian work for you.”

“I’ve always wanted to use Obsidian but just never thought I’d be able to make it happen. Until I started playing with copilot CoWork at work and basically turned it into my automatic executive functioning machine. I don’t type anything into Obsidian, I only click check boxes and it updates.”

“I’m working on my second brain too, and honestly you should make it yourself rather than use obsidian. You will quickly realise your individual circumstances require your own unique architecture and features.”

“This is part of my agentic brain, i don’t use any plugins due to security concerns.”

“I use it for studying. Like as an extension to my physical notes. I found the combination to be the best solution for me. Especially the plugin Spaced Repitition does it for me.”

“For those who have used craft before; do you prefer obsidian over craft ?”

“I hope you find Obsidian helpful.”

“When I want to record an idea I can still remember it in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, unlock it, and open Obsidian.”

“Ported the Doki Theme(s) into Obsidian”

“1) replacement for Google Keep. Lists, notes, etc.”

“this might make me go back from remnote to obsidian as its what I always wanted my notes to do. Only issue is integrating this with flashcards.”

“I had figured this wouldn't be possible with Obsidian's plug-in architecture.”

“I’m really just going with the flow; I think that’s the best way to use Obsidian at the start—without chasing trends, just gradually adapting it to what I actually need.”

“Obsidian: use it for both GM and Player prep. Found an application that converts PDFs to Markdown files with images, and it's been a game-changer for my game organization and running.”

“I heavily use Obsidian. Digitized all the relevant rulebooks into structured Obsidian notes, and have been using Claude Code to automate mass changes, searches, and assistance with adventure and handout creation.”

“People convincing you to use Obsidian: It's like a second brain with interconnected ideas and thousands of plugins.”

“If you’re neater than I am, you can copy/paste from a pic and shove it into Obsidian/wherever!”

“Obsidian clicked with me. It and its plugins are pretty robust. There are a whole lot of great videos on youtube with people going hard with stuff.”

“I keep my podcast production business organized with Obsidian. I track all my hardware and software with Properties and Bases. I document everything I learn about the technical aspects of the business like how RSS feeds work, namespaces, Podcasting 2.0, etc.”

“I've been using Obsidian for a few months now. It's not as difficult to figure out as I had initially thought. I'm loving it. I also use the Digital Garden plug-in to post notes on game world lore and session reports that my players can access online.”

“Back at home I typed my notes into Obsidian on my desktop. A seperate note for each topic. Pin each note as I create it to make them easy to find.”

“That's similar to what I use in Obsidian as well, with some other plugins.”

“People, who use properties to organise their writing projects in Obsidian, how do you track drafts and state of completion?”

“I love Obsidian, it took me awhile to figure out a folder structure I liked, but I've got info for the entire subsector that I am currently running in. I've also got templates for all the various types of things (vehicles, NPCs, ships, systems, creatures, etc)”

“I use obsidian. I use it to run the game. I move specific player facing items to foundry (twodsix) do that the players have one source of reference and to keep what they can see seperate from what I know”

“Just wanted to share my Obsidian setup running on a BOOX Go 10.3. It took some tinkering to get it to work smoothly on E-Ink, and you can grab the CSS snippet from [here](https://gist.github.com/SahandMalaei/aa9e2f4b91fc09a902bb600880dae3e7) in case you want to create a similar setup.”

“I use Obsidian and it was instrumental in planning out the campaigns I'm currently running, as it helped to have a consolidated place to have everything - PCs, NPCs, Maps, Artwork, you name it.”

“Canvas function could be a solution. It at least has the potential and 50% of the necessary prerequisites. But it seems like it's just a side dish... something missing, something that developers aren't even interested in exploring.”

“Currently in the process of doing a very similar thing, replacing the default assistant with a custom AI assistant that is able to use a tunnel to reach locally run models (e.g. LM studio) which then has access to my entire obsidian vault, and can inject notes, summarize or fetch specific info, etc. Cool stuff you're doing!”

“I use Obsidian. What I found helpful were templates for different types of things(NPCs, subsectors, planets, factions, corporations etc). Properties in those templates to link to related stuff (e.g.”

“So I was wondering if anyone uses something like Notion or Obsidian as a central repository for their campaigns or have you decided to use something completely different?”
