Obsidian
Obsidian is the app I use to write these notes.
- It’s great for personal knowledge management
- It’s highly customisable with many community styles and extensions.
- It’s local-first—no waiting for files to load or anything like that
- It’s all markdown, meaning I can put them into many things that take in markdown files
- It can be fed into my static site generator to generate this website1
