Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.
Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there's decent pdf support so I don't need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that's MS Word.
I keep meaning to check out Obsidian, but I'm like you said, lazy.
Hi. This is your push to do it.
Download it and start a video tutorial of your choosing.
It's great! Do it!
Lol thanks, I appreciate the push. I have more important things to be pushed towards though, such as work and personal tasks.
Be lazier! I believe in you.
I have obsidian installed, but I haven't really looked into how to use it. It has been on my list of things I should probably learn for a long time now
I am probably just an idiot but i find writing proper notes with links etc very tedious, in obsidian.
So i end uo just typing everything into a few documents based on the doc title. Which means i might as well just use notepad
Sounds like you need to check out Org-roam (if you use emacs) or some other zettelkasten style note taking software
Randomly seeing German compound-words in the wild being used as a technical term is always funny to me for some reason
I was using MarkText and a fairly structured set of directories. I switched to Bookstack which allows me to do essentially the same thing but with a web interface and the ability to share with even using RBAC. It doesn't do the cool linking stuff though.
Change Obsidian to Zettlr.
I think the use cases are different, as Zettlr seems like a pure publication tool but Obsidian (at least originally) was more of a personal note organizer that grew due to having community plugins.
I do agree though that Zettlr is a better publication tool, though I wouldn't change Obsidian for it as a personal organizer/kb.
Obsidian is what I used to keep my notes while playing Book of Hours. It was a fantastic tool and I'll definitely use it in the future!
How's the Book of Hours? I played a good deal of Cultist Simulator, but it tends to suck me in and I recover few hours later without an understanding what just happened.
I finished my playthrough a couple days ago, after 80 hours. It's much more forgiving than CS -- there's no lose condition, as far as I can tell. There's also a shitload more to keep track of, hence me using Obsidian. I personally found the experience of tracking [what books give what resource] and [what resources make what crafting recipes] to be extremely satisfying, but your mileage may vary.
Pandoc is also great!
Definitely, I said latex but I wanted to mean Pandoc.
The only thing is that applying a docx theme format to Pandoc was very challenging, although I would blame docx, not pandoc.
