I honestly like how Obsidian presents itself. The problem is the fact that it's not free software.

you've quickly become one of the Linux YouTubers I share the most opinions for programs with

[IAmTheSlink]

Obsidian has more than light and dark modes. There are dozens of themes you can choose from. You can even roll your own if you can use CSS.

The vault in Obsidian is just a regular directory containing your md files. It's highly portable and the files can be easily used with any text editor.

As an avid ghostwriter user, I gotta say, I was super pumped to see my go-to markdown editor made your top 5! Also, I found out recently that ghostwriter is a KDE app now. When did that happen? I must have blinked and missed it.

Excellent video, as always!

Yeah, the thing about Obsidian is the amount of plugins you can get, they even have one for PlantUML. I really like it for documentation because PlantUML + the plugins for better tables and stuff like allowed me to remain there without having to switch apps. The downside (kinda?) would be that you'll end up hoarding tons of plugins because everything looks so cool and shiny, you'll end up more worried about the plugins than actually writing and getting your work done.

Also, Vim + markdown preview plugin is really good as well.

There is a neat little application called Joplin. It is simple, has live preview and sync capability. It's a hill i will die on. For those who hate snaps, on Debian and co. it's a snap

vim with the markdown preview plugin makes it awesome as a markdown editor, plus vim keys ofc.

i used to use obsidian but it would lag like hell as soon as the file got a little longer and especially when it's latex heavy

[CaptZenPetabyte]

I think the biggest thing for me is the output; output to PDF or output to HTML allowing an easy setup for the CSS linking etc. - thanks for the reviews though, some new stuff I didnt know about. Will have to give them a try

Neovim with the plugin MarkdownPreview is all I need

[SugarBeetMC]

I use Vim, Apostrophe and a self-hosted HedgeDoc instance for my Markdowning. I especially like how multiple people can edit a document on HedgeDoc at the same time and use that feature frequently.

I've used obsidian in the past and have really enjoyed it. More recently I have switched to Emacs and I enjoy that workflow as well

[vimrichie]

I moved all my note taking to Inkdrop. It’s not FOSS, but it is one of my favorite apps and the developer is pretty awesome.

[MickTheRus]

I use NeoVim for MD with neovim md preview that pops it up in the browser

[thingsiplay]

I use Vim for editing and have the markdown file open with Gwenview at the same time for live preview. Not ideal, but what you gonna do, if you love Vim and won't accept any other editor?

[DaKingof]

Are you going to take a look at NixOS? Love to hear your thoughts!

[miljantrajkovic]

I love Apostrophe, can't want for the port to libadwaita and GTK4 😁

[MENTOKz]

If u love vim and vim keybindings then use emacs with evil-mode then u can also customize org-mode and also export it to markdown 😁

[ZippSolutions]

What about "trillium notes"? I'm using it for quite some time and I'm very pleased with it.
It's open source, full of features, very customizable, cross platform and can be self-hosted on your server (as a docker container).

[viinisaari]

Mark Text supports inline and block math. Comes in handy as a STEM student. No need to compile a latex document everytime you want to write down some quick math formulas.
