Roni Laukkarinen<p>I have decided to move on to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@obsidian" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>obsidian</span></a></span> from Craft and Simplenote. It takes a long time to get through all my 5000 notes but I'm willing to do it. I imported all my notes from those apps to Obsidian.</p><p>There are 1902 plugins for Obsidian and with them the customization options are endless! At the same time I'm in love and horrified. I'm going to nerd out from this.</p><p>Why did I make the move:</p><p>1. Own your data - I already self host a lot, social media (Mastodon), chat (Matrix), code... why not notes as well? There is certain appeal in having your notes to yourself all the time instead of a walled garden. I love seeing my note changes in git diffs.</p><p>2. Options. I don't have to use Obsidian if I don't want to, I can open the note file with any editor I like and it still keeps in sync if I decide to use Obsidian on other device to further view or edit the note.</p><p>3. Performance. Having notes locally available at all times makes the app really fast. Like it should be. Notes should not load up forever. On Craft I had even difficulties removing notes. I grow old watching those loading bars...</p><p>4. Offline notes. Notes should be alaways available on airplane or train tunnel or whenever you need, without Wifi. With Obsidian this is possible.</p><p>5. All the bells and whistles. It's really nice to be able to visually see your notes in a "brain graph". I really love this view.</p><p>6. Security. Neither Simplenote or Craft have E2EE or other security features. Obsidian does.</p><p>7. Endless canvas and mind mapping in the same note app. I really didn't think I needed this, but it's awesome.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Notes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Notes</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/NoteTaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoteTaking</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apps</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a></p>
