Obsidian - Connected Notes 4+

I love this app. I have since discovering it moved all my notes from disconnected various platforms into one, truly adopted this second brain concept which this tool allows.

I wanted to always build something like this, but even then could not have done so as well as the devs had.

Truly remarkable. Obsidian is my knowledge, my memories, trusted companion.

The only few things which I would LOVE to see and hence 4/5 stars currently is:
1. iPhone Widget for calendar so I replace third party apps and have my daily journal / calendar appear worth my todos and reflections etc. currently I find myself using one or the other which can be frustrating
2. iPad Support - with obsidian being a tool heavily emphasis better knowledge grasping techniques through back links / tags etc., I was surprised there wasn’t much iPad written support given the many research done on how writing can positively impact knowledge capture. Hence, I would love to see this in future, to be able to write on my iPad directly on my obsidian note. Rather than screenshots of my iPad written notes

I love obsidian on my laptop, it’s such a powerful software that has been a game-changer for me. But, the mobile experience is unusable. Admittedly, I’m on an iPhone SE and am using iCloud to sync my knowledge base, but the loading times for the app are 30-60 seconds every time you use it (even when you access it from multitasking), and for me, when I access it, I am shown a number of indecipherable errors (which is so frustrating, as it means I can’t understand the errors or try to fix them - these are also not present on my laptop, so it seems to be a mobile thing).

When I do get through loading, the app completely freezes - sometimes for a minute, sometimes indefinitely, and continues to freeze for every single action I try to take in the app.

If that wasn’t the case, I know the app has a rich set of features, and would be brilliant.

I love having full freedom from the note taking apps. I know my notes will always be mine and I'll never have to worry about Evernote going down or such. Although this app could be definitely improved, having the full power of the desktop application is just awesome. And there are loads of plugins to make your experience even better. Also great community. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but I've grown to love this app, specially in conjunction with the Spaced Repetition plugin to replace Anki and the Templater plugin that allows me to create really complex templates with the full power of a turing complete language like JavaScript.
