General Discussion / Obsidian
Mon 27/03/2023 03:00:52
I've lately come across a quite nice note taking / documentation tool called Obsidian that may be of interest.  It's based on plain text files using Markdown formatting. It features a live preview (WYSIWYG) editor, linking, embedding, etc.  I have been using it to collaborate with colleagues.  We have a vault (i.e. folder tree) on dropbox to which multiple people can simultaneously access and modify. It's not fool proof as content will be lost if people don't take turns editing the same file and allow a few seconds for synchronization.  Images are easily embedded as are external web links.

It could be a good tool for managing and coordinating teams or for documentation.  It takes a little getting used to as the interface is geared more toward keyboard rather than mouse operation.  Think college student, sitting in lecture hall with laptop on lap, taking notes. So there is a little of not knowing how to do this or that at the beginning but is quickly overcome. Plenty of youtube tutorials as well.
