I've been using foam instead of obsidian for my personal knowledge base. It works rather well. And it's completely free and ultimately just markdown. While I might wish it was djot, I don't wish hard enough to make that so myself

Kinda neat, but only if you live in Code.

Not sure it would work for me, as a lot of time I have a random idea I don't want to lose while I'm not at my computer. And while I know it's just markdown and thus any text editor could open them on my phone, I do enjoy having something like Obsidian which works well on my phone and syncs files over git.

It makes VSCode very slow though which itself is getting heavier every release. Obsidian doesn't feel like an Electron app just like VSCode from a few years ago..
