   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

   🏁 Competitors: Notion, Evernote

   👎 Cons:    Seems complicated/complex at first|Takes time to set up your personal workspace|Overwhelming for first time user

   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)_/¯.

• Need Advice for Passing a Campaign on to a Player to DM. Warning: Kind of a Bummer

  And fantasia Archive ( https://fantasiaarchive.com/ ) to structure the rest and organize the worldbiilding and the adventures. If you want to integrate images to fatasia archive, you must use online hosting (imgur the best). And go on the discord, there is a command pinned (it just an html image reference) to link your images. The underlining code of Fantasia archive is in markdown but there is a WYSIWYG editor....

• Worldbuilding + ADHD and similar disabilities/limitations...

  If you don't like this method, there are other technological alternatives. Some are online (and have small prices) like World Anvil, Campfire, Inkarnate (not a writing tool, but it's a crazy good mapmaking tool). If you don't want something online with a pricetag, try Fantasia Archive, which is free and not online. It's not as good as the online tools, but it's still great. I've been trying it for some weeks now... Source: almost 2 years ago

• [OC] If you're about to start a new campaign, I strongly recommend making a calendar

  I had been using Fantasia Archive, but updates have unfortunately been very slow over the last couple years, and I was already thinking about jumping ship. This might be a good chance to do so. 🤔. Source: over 2 years ago

• what do you use to worldbuild?

  I've found Fantasia Archive to be a great way to keep things neat. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there a software like world anvil and kanka but free?

  Both Fantasia Archive and World Maker are downloadable, free, open source projects (I haven't actually used either, but they look decent). Obsidian is also a decent free option for a desktop/personal wiki, though not worldbuilding specific. There's a guide to using it as a GM tool, which is similar to worldbuilding.

• 2024, A year of resilience, learning, and growth.

  Solution: I implemented structured time management using tools like Notion and Obsidian, broke down tasks into smaller milestones, and rewarded myself after achieving each. - Source: dev.to / 6 days 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
