@menelion n asterisks are n-th level headings (1 to 6).

Lists are specified using a hyphen


This would render perfectly well in Org:

* Eins
- list item inside eins
- something else
** Zwei
- list item 1 inside Zwei
- item 2
- item 3

Honestly, #Orgmode is also easier than #Markdown. Just like Markdown, #LaTeX support is built into the language.

I've written scientific papers and whatnot using #Org mode. My static website is published using #Hugo, which supports Org OOTB (if not for this, I'd be using #Zola or #Astro)... With #orgroam I can organize my notes using the #zettelkasten method and view notes on a graph à la #Obsidian. Note that #OrgRoam is the objectively superior #Obsidian alternative, just as #Orgmode itself blows Markdown out of the water.

How could I forget literate configs? Computational notebooks are a GODSEND. Imagine a file that acts very much like a #Jupyter #Notebook (graph support etc is taken care of thanks to #Emacs). Imagine an entire Jupyter Notebook sent in a simple text-ready file.

It's totally possible to open an Org notebook in a plain text editor, make changes and send it to peers. If they have Emacs open they can also execute the notebook just like they would with a Jupyter Notebook. Results are displayed (by default) in-place too.

I invite @publicvoit to share his opinions 😉

Today on AppAddict - Use Obsidian in a Browser from Anywhere, Without Installation - I just got into self hosting about a month ago with an old Lenovo Thinkpad I pulled out of the recycling pile at work and a couple of big external hard drives. Tonight I discovered that there is a Docker version of Obsidian that works on my server. In a... - appaddict.app/post/use-obsidia - #Obsidian #AppAddict

I am looking for ways to save (some of) my Mastodon posts as notes in Obsidian. I have seen a template for Obsidian Web Clipper, but I do most of my Mastodoning in the Ivory app and I don’t want to pop out to a browser for this.

Anybody have suggestions?

I know people build INCREDIBLY complex bookmark collections in their browsers.

My brain just doesn't work that way. If you force me to create hierarchies, they will suck and be annoying.

I want tags. My brain runs on tag clouds. No wonder I favor tools like #obsidian and #joplin_notes for note taking and #linkding to keep track of links I want to remember.

I have switched from Joplin to Obsidian.
For no reason at all (no new version, no added plugins) Joplin suddenly takes about 20 seconds to load and is very sluggish.

Obsidian is running in 3 seconds and switches like lightning.

I uncompressed the Joplin appimage to see if that made a difference: nope. Couldn't find any info online for this either.

Great thing: the switch only took 1 export to markdown.

#Obsidian 1.9 changes its front matter format for array values, so "tags: tag1, tag2, tag3" no longer works. If your vault is full of front matter in that format (aliases, note IDs etc.), then here's what you can do about it: forum.actions.work/t/front-matt... #ObsidianMD #PKM #ShortcutsApp

I just used #ChatGPT 4o to help write Python to convert the export provided by Apple's Journal app from HTML into Markdown suitable for import into #Obsidian. It took about 15 minutes of back and forth to get right. This is something I could have done myself, but it probably would’ve taken me a couple hours. This is a great use case for a #LLM.
