+1 to the idea of locally stored Markdown files as a database.

Obsidian is a very neat tool but I'd generally preferred using VS Code. I've used roughly the same flow here: https://kortina.nyc/essays/suping-up-vs-code-as-a-markdown-n...

The backlinks functionality is a little more hacked on than the built-in Obsidian tooling but I find most of the other editing tools and extensions to be superior. Having my knowledge database be edited in my normal text editor is easier and more powerful for me.
