Obsidian is basically a "markdown renderer + code coloring with some extra search and other features" too.

Notes in Obsidian are just regular markdown files that sit in a directory on your hard-drive. The notes can be version controlled with Git, synced with Dropbox, etc.

Yes I thought one of the things he didn’t like about Obsidian was it is closed source / proprietary. I do think they overlap pretty heavily. I’m personally going to give Obsidian a try tomorrow and see how it compares.

They aren't regular markdown files, they wont' be supportd any time soon by other markdown editors (i.e. there is currently no compatible ios markdown editor for it). They are regular text files though.
