Half a year ago I stumbled upon two notetaking tools of which one improved my life's quality, so I thought I share my experience with the community. I'm not sponsored by either of these projects.

Both of these tools are powerful extendable markdown editors with a daily journal, calender function, TODO list and a knowledge base similar to a Wiki. Every page or block can be crosslinked, referenced or embedded. That way, I can keep an overview over my daily tasks with all necessary information directly accessible.

The one tool I use daily now, is Logseq. I synchronize my notes among all my devices via git. Works great under Linux, but I needed to install termux on Android. They are working on a sync service for logseq, which should make it more interesting for most users. There is one caveat though: It's not on Google's PlayStore, nor on f-droid.

The other similar tool, which I can recommend because it is more easily available, is Obsidian. The company also offers a sync service for premium users. I found one missing feature which is more a niche, but still a bummer: Code blocks cannot be indented.

What do you think? Do you use similar - maybe even better - note taking tools?

I just found out about obsidian while I was looking into Lemmy stuff. Do you have any resources that give a crash course on obsidian?

Please search obsidian guides on youtube, there are many, and they are fucking awesome tbh. I'm serious, the amount of available information in Obsidian is staggeringly enormous. You couldn't read it all if you tried, or watch it all if you tried.

My favorite video makers on Obsidian from 2 years ago when I was learning the software: Nicole van der Hoeven and some other guy i can't find :(

edit: pick a recent video with a lot of views, obsidian has changed a little bit, not too much, but i bet most of the guides out there are great to get you started

Second guy I think is called Bryan Jenkins. Almost sure. I'm going to sleep rn tho. That guy's guides were my background noise for a while. He's deals with ADHD so I valued his perspective.
