I fell in love with notetaking app Obsidian months ago but can understand some folk not taking to it.

This post highlights what looks like a good alternative!

@todb not off the top of my head, sorry. I keep a pretty rigid folder hierarchy. But I wouldn't be surprised if a community plugin exists to solve this problem, or a plugin that enables scripting in order to automate your way out of it.

@neurovagrant Do you use the Obsidian cloud stuff? I just save everything in a GDrive synced folder for cross-computer sharing. I wonder if i’m missing out.

@todb @neurovagrant at work, I sync the filesystem using Google Drive. At home I use Next cloud's wevdav + Remotely Save plugin. I've lost days several times due to naive conflict resolution though.

But I saw this recently, and wondering if it's worth a shot: https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

@iagox86 @todb @neurovagrant oh man i keep forgetting about obsidian. ive been trying to solve for todo.txt 'but everywhere' for years. i was using evernote and it was doing the trick but then they did the dropbox thing and went 'welp if you want more than 2 devices gimme cash'. i got a lot of wireguard plumbing around. I bet i can do the local sync thing easily. do any of you know how it handles offline updates? like if i edit something on my phone and then sync later when i have service again?

@Viss @todb @neurovagrant offline editing + sync later works! I use the Remotely Save plugin because I don't want my data on their servers, and you just run it when you want to sync, it set it to sync every x minutes. The problem is that it resolved conflicts by "newer is better", which isn't great.

@iagox86 @todb @neurovagrant oh so it doesnt do like, a merge diff?

@Viss @todb @neurovagrant the plugin doesn't, but their paid sync option claims to.. I've never used it.

This also sounds promising: https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

@iagox86 @todb @neurovagrant oh neat! this is probably something i should give a swing over the weekend :D

@Viss @todb @neurovagrant if you get it going, let me know how painful it was, and how well it works! I need to get around to till that

@iagox86 @todb @neurovagrant yessir!

@0daystolive @todb @neurovagrant You can also just right-click on a folder and set it as the "attachment folder"
