An introductory overview of Obsidian, a local markdown-based note-taking app. Covers why Obsidian is worth using (local files, open format, plugin ecosystem, no feature limits), practical advice to keep setups simple, and how the author personally uses it for content creation, knowledge management, project management, and media tracking. Also touches on syncing via Google Drive and GitHub, the graph view and canvas features, and briefly mentions alternative tools like Notion, Logseq, and others.
