Using Obsidian to manage goals, tasks, notes, and software dev knowledge base
After having used Bear, Notable, and Atom + plugins, I’m realizing I don’t really want an app to manage my notes.  I just want the notes, plus a tool to traverse them that’s got a bit more beef to it than Finder.app.<p>I’d like to use a more powerful app like the one promoted here, but I feel desperately uncomfortable tying my notes [in] to a piece of <i>proprietary software</i>.  I feel like that was a mistake I made already, and don’t want to repeat.<p>It’s almost like Obsidian et al are highly featureful filesystem browsers, but where the only files one can have are markdown files.<p>What about if I want to style a real PDF in Asciidoc?  It’s really common for a note to evolve into a document.  An idea becomes a lesson plan for a class, which morphs into a handout with tables, admonitions etc.<p>What about if I want to represent some idea with a quick spreadsheet?  Or a sketchup?  It would be fantastic if those were somehow all represented as first class documents in the filesystem, as markdown is inside the current wave of proprietary markdown editors.
