Obsidian Introduction (at least here)
Obsidian.md is the software tool that I’ve used to implement my Life OS, FAKRA which I am presenting as Build YOUR Life Operating System. It is a Markdown editor and display tool but is expandable by plug-ins. This has generated a vibrant community of users (process) and developers (extended functionality).
The fact that Obsidian is based on markdown makes it an ‘open’ tool in that there are other editors/readers that can be used with the file. The files are stored locally, so you are not ‘captured’ by a provider, although the developers of Obsidian do offer extended services for synchronizing your files across devices and publishing your notes as a website.
