I've been looking to migrate away from https://simplenote.com to something else and I've been dragging my feet. However, what's happened in the past 2 weeks with the CEO was the push I needed to resume looking for another solution.

I've landed on Obsidian.md. I actually prefer Simplenote over Obisidian, because Simplenote feels smoother and the online web app is great, but I've decided that having more control over my own data is more important so Obsidian it is.

If you start missing collaboration in Obsidian, check out the Relay plugin. A lot of folks are compelled by the offline-first capabilities of Obsidian but then find that they eventually want a shared folder to collaborate with a colleague, friend, or partner.

Obsidian is not perfect, but IMHO it’s the best note-taking application out there.
