zoug<p>I've been using <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> for a couple weeks now and I love it. I needed a new setup for my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/notes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>notes</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/todos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>todos</span></a> for quite a while, and was a little set aback by the fact that <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> is not free software. But now that I've tried it I think I will stick with it: it's *very* good.</p><p>Syncing's the only thing that was a little challenging.</p><p>I have a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NextCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NextCloud</span></a> that I want to use for syncing the notes. Obsidian uses <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a>, with a couple features on top, so your notes can be synced like normal text files. It has been a pain to get it to work with the official app on mobile. What kept happening is notes not synchronizing to NextCloud when modified by Obsidian, even after forcing a synchronization. At worst, what also happened is data loss, i.e. the note in the NextCloud server (old) replacing the local (new) one that I had modified through the Obsidian app. Not cool. I don't want my notes to go through anyone's servers, otherwise I would've considered paying for Obsidian <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Sync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sync</span></a> (and it supports the project!).</p><p>The solution I've come up with, and that works perfectly well, is the NextCloud Notes app. You can install it in your NextCloud server then use the Nextcloud Notes app on mobile. And it just works. Of course, you won't have any of the Obsidian linking/visualizing or canvas features, it's only Markdown. However it's more than enough for notes on mobile: for more advanced Obsidian stuff, I use the client on my computer.</p>
