> It uses the same format of storage as Obsidian...

Can Obsidian and Jot co-mingle in the same vault?

I use Obsidian and am very happy with the git plugin[0] and Working Copy(iOS)[1] for keeping things automatically synced between my phone and desktop(s). Often I find myself dumping notes into random places from the terminal; feeding markdown via pipes. But I then have to remember to collect these artifacts and ensure I fire Obsidian back up for a push. I'd love something that could work "together" with my present setup.

Looks like things are set out quite clearly[2], and Rust looks quite approachable. Very cool stuff!

Now that I think about it, they can, just not right now. What Jot needs is a 'use existing folder as vault' feature like in Obsidian, or an 'import vaults from Obsidian' feature. As an Obsidian user myself, this would be neat. Thanks for the idea! I'll add this to the feature updates list :)
That was my thought / use case too. I'd love the ability to quickly add notes to my existing obsidian if I'm in the terminal. For longer notes, with images, links etc I'd rather use the GUI.

Nice work tho!!!

Funnily enough, this WAS the original idea, to have a cli tool that acts as a sort of plugin for Obsidian, to be used when in hurry. I looked for APIs and libraries that could make this possible but couldn't find any. This will be a great circle back :)
