Founder here. I started Dendron because I was frustrated with the lack of good note taking tools while working as a developer at AWS.

I wanted something with the ease of notepad, the structure of evernote, and the speed of redis.

Iterating over these features led me to Dendron and its been battle tested with my own collection of 30K+ notes

Did you find any features in particular lacking in Obsidian?

[kevinslin]

Dendron's main difference from obsidian is that we put the emphasis on structuring and organizing your notes.

Obsidian (and other tools like it) focus on backlinks and using a graph to connect your ideas. This is valuable for connecting disparate ideas but its still hard to find any individual note once you have a lot of them.

Dendron helps you organize your notes into hierarchies that you can enforce using schemas (think type system but for your hierarchies)

The problem we're solving: once you have hundreds or thousands of notes, how do you find a specific one?
