I really can’t tell - does it work on top of Markdown flat files or not? Based on the mention of an exporter, I’d guess not.
Part of the reason I moved from TiddlyWiki to Obsidian was to get my writing into plain text files, so anything that doesn’t interface with the OS file system is off the table for me from the get-go. (Part of the reason I care about this is so that I’m not locked into a specific app and can use VS Code to browse and edit as needed, or build a static site from my files, etc.)
Unfortunately no for now, it uses a database that renders it more powerful but can import and export markdown effortlessly. Editing directly in markdown should be a feature tho for those who want to use file systems
This could be a very important point for why it isn't more used. For example, i only use markdown files, which allows me to manage them in git, edit and navigate via VimWiki, and visualize in Obsidian.
