I’m trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

    Also not a fan about the closed source thing, but I like about Obsidian that it’s all just markdown. If I ever need to ditch it, I can keep and use my existing files as they are.

    Would this also be possible with Zettlr or Logseq?

      Exactly, that and the mobile app. Having simple markdown files and ability to sync them with Syncthing are just too good.

      I don’t know about Zettlr, but last I looked at Logseq it worked off markdown files similar to Obsidian.

      That said, I felt Logseq wasn’t quite ready for prime time when I was doing my research a year or so ago. So I went with Obsidian and have been very happy with it.

      Been using Logseq for six months, and yes. It’s all just .md and media files referenced by relative links.

      This was an important factor the choice to use it. Having used several note taking applications / systems, getting your data ‘out’ in a painless fashion is the #1 concern.
