Reminds me of "Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of #Orgmode."

Today they're adding a CLI.

Next a REPL.

In a couple of years maybe a decent programming language.

If you want all the fun just now without the lock in effects of #Obsidian, take a look at the cool features of https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/ 😉

@publicvoit I share your concerns about lock-in. They’ve added features like bases and transclusion, which only work in Obsidian. But it’s still all just plain text under the hood — on your computer. And the core Markdown files work everywhere. It’s a much more open platform than (say) OneNote or Notion. (Still, not as open as Emacs.)

@publicvoit Emacs is (ironically) more locked in for me, since it limits me to working on PC-class devices. I do a lot of work on my iPad, which doesn’t have a version of Emacs (and likely never will.)

@publicvoit @jarango you mean your IOS is more locked in.

@tusharhero @publicvoit if you’re approaching the question ideologically, then yes. If you’re approaching it practically, then no. Because I’ve used Android, and it’s not for me. Which means that I need to work with the tools available in the system I prefer, not the one I wish existed (but doesn’t.)
