over 2 years from writing these notes. I come back to obsidian with a different mind however similar opinions. I think I'm going to give obsidian a harder shot now because I am in the biggest compression of my life and I want 1 place that has word counts, download into a set structure, API/tools integrations capability, and all of me centralized af. Does this make sense? is obsidian where I get that?

Obsidian is pretty powerful, if it's not running the way you want it to there's almost certainly a way to make it do that. if you want it to, Obsidian can do and be just about anything. in my experience, most people don't want to be power users, though. they want something that works out of the box. something opinionated, or something simple. so if there's something out there that you already like and enjoy and doesn't get in the way of your process, then I'd say don't bother with Obsidian. but if your existing tools are giving you grief and you've got some time to tinker, it's pretty satisfying to put together a vault just the way you like it.

Ha! Reading your notes made me chuckle, I might as well have been reading my inner monologue when using a tool. I was a heavy Roam user - swapping to Obsidian was not the easiest swap to make, yet it was 100% the right decision (I am four/five years on now). Firstly, I have it feeling like the most beautiful app I have ever used. I look forward to opening it and writing. The need for a little bit more structure, has forced me to simplify my notes, rather than just chucking things into Roam and not thinking too much about where they go. I have become much more intentional for it.

Yes - my use has centered around just daily notes and not trying to over engineer or overthink things. Just dump a lot, knowing I can work with things over time. I want to hear more about the biggest compression of your life, though

I did a deep dive on which tool is best for me to use. Obsidian is best because, if you look at your file system, they’re stored exactly how you see them within obsidian itself. just .md files. Therefore, if there’s a better system in the future, it will be easily transferable to the new system. The biggest mishap today is being unable to transfer data across platforms. Instagram, farcaster, X, bluesky, microsoft teams, etc. Obsidian gives you full control over your data. Web3. Hopefully we have a global database in the future that makes using tools on our data easier.
