I did, and I sort of like and sort of dislike it because of the way it handles metadata.

For me, this kind of note taking app ought to use folder names as topics or categories (dev/rust) and have an index.md (dev/rust/index.md) as an entry point, and some sub-documents/sub-sections in the same folder.

Also, many of these tools only go half way: they have folder support but instead of a "bag of posts" you have to put images in a "bag of media" folder, which is even worse sometimes...

It's up to you how you use it. If you want folders being categories and have index.md'd, then do it, create them. Obsidian is very liberal in it's usage and does not enforce a specific workflow or structure.

I remember there is also a plugin which allows to use folder as notes, by loading a kind of index.md when opening the folder.

But what do you mean with "bag of media" folder?
