   The kind of software that may change your life

   Perhaps you know someone who swears by Obsidian, it may seem like a cult of overly devoted people for how passionate they are, but it's not without reason

   I've been using Obsidian for over 3 years, at a point in my life when I felt I had to handle too much information and I felt like grasping water not being able to remember everything I wanted, language learning, programming, accounting, university, daily tasks. A friend recommended it to me next to Notion (of which he is a passionate cultist priest) and I reluctantly picked it and fell in love almost immediately.

   Obsidian seems very simple, like a notepad with folder interface, similar to Sublime Text, but the ability to link files together in a Wiki style allows you to organize ideas in any way you want, one file may lead to a dozen or more ideas that are related

   If you want to do something specific, Obsidian has a plethora of community created plugins that expand the functionality, in my case, I use obsidian to organize my classes both as a teacher and as a student, using local databases, calendars, dictionaries, slides, vector graphic drawings, excel-like tables, Anki connection, podcasts, and more

   My personal knowledge-base of choice

   I've been using Obsidian for more than a year. It's been great. I think it offer a great balance of control, flexibility and extensibility. What is more, you own your own data, that's been a must-have feature for me. I just can't imagine putting all my knowledge into something that I don't have control over.

   I think two of the most popular alternatives that people consider are Logseq and Roam Research. Although Logseq is a bit different, it's considered compatible with Obsidian. Supposedly, you can use them with a shared database (files. Both use simple text files for storage). I tried that once, a few months ago. It worked, yet it messed up a bit my Obsidian files ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

• Show HN: Sava OS – A desktop interface for you web browser

  This does remind me a bit of a personal knowledge management solution that has (fairly) recently gone out of beta, AnyType [0], as that too was sometimes refered to as an "operating system for the new internet" and received similarly skeptical reception. Seen them refine the concept into a more rounded project that has been rather successful in the PKM space, though their concept never fully fit my use cases.

  Anytype - looks like a great Notion alternative, however too complex for me. I need a simple tool. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Show HN: I am building an open-source Confluence and Notion alternative

  Notion is excellent at collaboration, and works so so on mobile the last time I used it. Mostly if you didn't open all the pages you wante before taking off on a flight (imagine no wifi), things fall apart. On to the option -- currently been giving Anytype a pretty hard go on the colalboration side, as well as playing with Obsidian to see if it can feed into it. https://anytype.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  If you don't require support for teams, it sounds like you might like AnyType. Think Notion, but FOSS and p2p. https://anytype.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Building a Knowledge System That Enhances Rather Than Replaces Thought

  Excellent article. IMHO it tackles the gist of what personal knowledge management should be about. True learning/understanding (and intellectual depth for that matter) seems like something that (due to neurocognitive reasons) cannot possibly be achieved only through the process of reading, but is rather a function of the reader's quality of elaboration on what has been read. This inherently requires the reader's... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago
