I have yet to find a solid obsidian competitor, plugins + git repo really do cover most things.

A folder of markdown docs in your favourite text editor, ftw!

+ It’s all within the editor you already know really well. Uses your existing tools.

+ Many editors have really good support for markdown built in. Treat H1’s like notes and along with modern fuzzy search for files/symbols you can easily get to any note and jump around.

+ If you want smarter [[liking]] there’s some good plugins out there to bring this to your editor.

+ Simple, future proof and no lock-in.

I’m currently enjoying markdown-oxide, an LSP for markdown docs. Captures all your notes as symbols so you can fuzzy search and “find references”, etc. supports #tags, too.

This! I have all my notes in markdown files in folders. I self host Silverbullet on top which is a nice web UI for managing notes, tagging them etc. All tags are stored in the individual markdown files using frontmatter. I also push my notes to forgejo (gitea) which means I have versioning. Works well for me!

Silverbullet looks pretty cool; its landing page describes a feature set and workflows virtually identical to my use of Obsidian. Thanks for sharing!
