The plan for Obsidian is to never grow beyond 10-12 people, never take VC funding, never collect personal data or analytics.

Continue building with the assumption that software is ephemeral, files matter more than apps. Use formats that are open and durable.

See our manifesto:

About - Obsidian

Our guiding principles are set in stone: yours, durable, private, malleable, independent.

✍️ New: The big list of academic #writing resources

A list of books, blogs and tools to hone your scientific writing. I've tried to cover the basics of academic writing, deeper dives on style and even data #visualization.

The big list of academic writing resources

This blog post will be updated regularly. Academic writing is a craft. Like all crafts, it requires practice, but it can also be learned. Unfortunately, resources to learn academic writing are somewhat scattered. In this blog post, I lost some of my suggested resources, including books and blogs, tools to help you write better, and other resources to improve your visualizations. Accompanying this post is The Big List of Academic Writing Tips.

@chrisoffner3d Thank you, I've fixed the link
@johannes_lehmann It all depends on the subject, obviously. One time, I was writing a paper about domain understanding. Instead of writing how other researchers used domain understanding, I narrated the evolution of domain understanding through the years. It's a small shift, but it makes for a much more pleasant read.
@johannes_lehmann Thank you! I think the word 'narrative' works better than story. For example, most literature reviews describe what X and Y did, like a shopping list. There are usually better ways of tying the literature review with the subject of the manuscript. That's what I mean by narrative.

The list is a companion article to another list of easy-to-consume tips on the narrative, grammar and style of academic writing.

The big list of academic writing tips

This blog post will be updated regularly. When I started my PhD, I hated writing academically. I love writing, and I have freelanced as a writer for years, but I hated writing academically. I hated the process and I hated the end-product. It is a common feeling, but I decided to study scientific writing and, more specifically, how to lend my character to it while staying within the norms. This blog post contains tricks that I learned to take control of the story, the grammar and the form of academic writing.

@koteisaev I'm curious: why/how do you think AI will take human jobs?

By human jobs, I mean jobs that require creativity (not just artsβ€”AI models discover but do not invent); empathy, morality and judgment; expert thinking; and social communication.
