Anyone else using #obsidian for notes or documentation? I've been toying with it personally and tuning up some ideas for my next term starting this week. What plugins have you found useful as an IT professional?I'm a solo #sysadmin with a fallback #msp. Agent facing documentation in my ITSM is a process (rightfully so) to edit and update, but is slow to search if I can't find it straight away.

@dapprvilln I prefer LogSeq, which is more or less the same but open source

@Pantsu THAT'S the one I couldn't remember. Love me some FOSS tools. Will give it a try this evening and compare them.I tried them both out a while back and couldn't wrap my head around the idea of markdown notation for some reason. Now I'm better suited to using it.

@Pantsu @dapprvilln I’ve never heard of #LogSeq before, having settled on #Obsidian (even though I’m not a closed-source fan) after trying a number of #Markdown #PKM apps. I’m going to try it out this morning, so glad I saw this thread!

@punko @Pantsu maybe the #LogSeq regulars can better clarify this. But from my initial reaction, when I imported the 'graph' that was my existing #obsidian 'folder', it simply parsed all of the notes as pages and didn't offer any out of the box structure to the notes that I had with Obsidian. That was my biggest hangup - expecting them to be equals in that regard. I'm sure a plug-in exist, and maybe that's part of the mindset difference I'm not getting between the two platforms - that maybe LogSeq is meant to be simply a journal where you outline and take notes and use tags or search/links to reference data in a meaningful way. I'm still a newbie at this markdown mindset.I have it in mind to categorize Obsidian into folders for specific items, like projects, documentation, templates, etc.

@dapprvilln @Pantsu I waver between #ObsidianMD and #Zettlr. Going to try #LogSeq. I started with #CherryTreeNotes, but didn’t stay with it long. Of course, there’s always #Vim, and I am not an #Emacs person.

@punko @Pantsu leaving my original response. But I'm revisiting LogSeq. Digging more into it and giving it more time to learn the method behind it.

@punko @dapprvilln @Pantsu I use emacs org-mode with evil-mode. With org-babel it's really powerful for executable documentation with the ability to mix and match languages and then export to markdown, html, or whatever for stuffing into other systems. Not to mention all the gtd task management and pkm capabilities even before looking at packages like org-roam. Plus then your inside emacs, so you can read email and use Magit and and and#emacs #orgmode #pkm
