    I really just want it to be open source.

    I also really missed the Outline feature of Logseq when using it. It’s hard to lose that.

      I feel the pain, I also really want it to be open source (and I think it’s funny that they talk about most of the community plugins being open source as a plus, but don’t recognise how that could be a plus for the app as well if they open sourced it).

      As for missing bits of LogSeq, I use both LogSeq and Obsidian together. I have my LogSeq graph and Obsidian vault use the same folder, and have them configured so they use the same default folders and date formats. It works quite well for me

    i love I have a central place i can put everything I need to reference or remember and have it backed up to Git for version control and all the connections between documents relate to each other the way they do in my head.

    What I hate is the phone app not letting me have a default template or template select on news document. I also wish it was open source but I won’t fault them for that. I also hate that the git plug in doesn’t work on mobile so I have to do a sync and commit from my server vs committing directly.

      It would be amazing to have a way to not have to use the Sync system across all devices. I get Sync is good for most people but it has its limits compared to using Git or other methods.

      Also, it’s always good to have your notes work the way they do in your head.

        yeah I known it sounds weird but i group my messages normally but also tag based on emotions, smells, tastes and other sensory input I feeling when experiencing the thing I’m writing about. It helps me connect to the information and helps with recall to put me back in that place.

    Syncing probably, but even that can be solved by another excellent software called Syncthing… Or just spend money to subscribe to their sync service, if you have it :)

    The start up time seems to be pretty slow to me, barely a problem in desktop, but on mobile it genuinely bothers me

    I just wish it was open source. I love everything else about it pretty much.

    I love how quickly I can get things done using keybindings (I use Vim in Obsidian) and how I can link everything together to really form a second brain with lots and lots of stuff all linked together nicely. I also love Obsidian Sync, I think it’s worth it.

    I hate the unreasonably long startup time. It’s even worse on mobile as every time you open the app, it fully restarts, taking 10+ seconds. I’ve been trying to leave it open in the background but it’s muscle memory to close all apps immediately.

    I also don’t like the lack of a good CAS plugin. I currently use mathpad which gets the job done but I often find myself tinkering with my input because mathpad sometimes just refuses to work properly. Maybe it approximates too much or sth but often times it just doesn’t calculate accurately, doesn’t solve equations properly, etc.

    For some reason my obsidian can only remember 3 or so vaults, when I want to open another I need to enable thrust and have to reindex the data.

    What I love is that everything is a file and is easily backed up and restored via git.
