I know people are going to come for me for this one, but definitely Notion. I know I don't own my data and what not, really would love to switch to Obsidian at some point, but I have trouble with markdown and I really prefer "What you see is what you get" editors. I have Notion databases for keeping track of physical video games I own, I write all of my notes for D&D campaigns in there, I have a reminders and to-do page. It's slow, it's not very privacy focused, but it's a dead simple and very feature packed tool to organize virtually anything.
As someone who loves both apps, you might be surprised with the functionality in Obsidian's plugin platform. I have to-dos, kanban boards, book reviews, media embeds. You can even use JavaScript to code with your files and their properties (not that everyone needs to do that of course).
I use Notion at work still, but Obsidian has come really far since I first heard of it. I will say though migrating has not been an easy process.
Thanks for letting me know, the few times I had tried Obsidian in the past I was unaware of plugins. Sounds like some of them might be adding the functionality I'm looking for! I'll definitely check it out again soon!
Hey I decided to download Obsidian and give it another shot. Have you tried migrating any databases to the database plugin? How comparable is it to using them in Notion?
Hey there! Databases aren't something I've done yet in Obsidian, although I'm at my computer right now so I took a quick peek and I think maybe https://dataloom.xyz/ is what you're looking for. Seems to be angled specifically at Notion users.
Woah that seems really neat!! Thanks for telling me. Damn it's moments like these I wish Lemmy had awards. So helpful. 🏅
I try my best, haha. Hope the app works out for you!
