Title: Cofounder of Obsidian here. We&#x27;re excited to announce Obsidian 1.0 is live!<p>Obsidian 1.0 introduces two big changes: a UI overhaul and an new tabbed interface. We&#x27;ve put a lot of care into making the app more approachable and more accessible. We&#x27;ve also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows, and many details.<p>We got our first private beta users from a comment under a HN thread about org-roam [1], and our waiting list was an innocent Google Form. Good times!<p>Our initial launch on HN was over two years ago [2], when terms like &quot;second brain&quot; and &quot;tools for thought&quot; were still in their infancy. Since then, the landscape has continued to evolve and new ideas are sprouting in the space every day. Obsidian has always embraced its &quot;hacker&quot; nature and thrives off its community of tinkerers. We now have over 670 plugins that push the envelope of what&#x27;s possible in the app.<p>We want to continue to foster that same hacker spirit, but at the same time, we want to provide a polished product that can stand on its own. In the last several months, we&#x27;ve expanded the team and refocused ourselves on providing a product that&#x27;s polished and easy to use.<p>We have big plans to continue making Obsidian the best and most refined thought-processing app for decades to come. Obsidian 1.0 is just the start!<p>Special credits go to Stephan Ango (@kepano) for the redesign and Liam Cain for tirelessly polishing this release.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22767658" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22767658</a>
