Good:
* <WYSIWYG>
* Extended-<Markdown>-based
* https://help.obsidian.md/Getting+started/Sync+your+notes+across+devices they do have a device sync mechanism
* it watches the filesystem and if you change anything it gets automatically updated on UI
* https://help.obsidian.md/links#Link+to+a+block+in+a+note you can set (forcibly scoped) IDs to blocks. But it's not exposed on WYSIWYG?
Bad:
* forced ID scoping on the tree as usual
* no browser-only editor, it's just a local app apparently:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/10sj378/web_version_of_obsidian/
* https://forum.obsidian.md/t/online-editor/25748
* https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-for-web/2049
* https://obsidian.md/publish they have a publish function, but you can't see the generated websites with JavaScript turned off. And they charge you 8 dollars / month for that shit. Lol.
* folders are not articles, you can't see them as as page
* HTML export only as third party plugin:
* https://github.com/KosmosisDire/obsidian-webpage-export
* https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/pf3cw6/any_plugin_to_export_an_entire_vault_as_html_pages/
Possibly in self conflict with them wanting people to pay 8 dollars / month for their hosting? Crazy.
* block elements like images and tables cannot have captions?
* https://forum.obsidian.md/t/adding-caption-to-images/16431
* https://forum.obsidian.md/t/captions-for-tables-in-markdown/17240
* they kind of have synonyms: https://help.obsidian.md/aliases but does it work on source code?
Some <Obsidian> <digital gardens> that would fit well with <OurBigBook>:
