How to get started with the Obsidian app
From the moment it reached public beta in 2020, Obsidian has been included in practically every best note-taking app round-up I've read. There's practically a cult of Obsidian users who admit to spending more time customizing it than they do actually using the app. In fact, Obsidian is so flexible that its basic note-taking capabilities are often lost among all the razzle-dazzle uses folks like to talk about.
You want to manage all your projects and tasks in Obsidian? No problem. Write a novel or publish a blog? Easy. Build a second brain by integrating all your appointments, meetings, emails, and company documentation? Sure thing. With just a few basic building blocks—a Markdown editor, powerful search, tagging, and the ability to link notes together—you can build, as Harry Guinness has written, an "all-encompassing digital database for your life."
