Totally agree. I’m moving away from Obsidian but I’ll never be thankful enough to that software for getting me used to local .md files. I find it just way way better than any other solution.
I never manage to get into foam coming from Obsidian, possibly because I use VSCode/Codium for coding, so it’s hard for my brain to adapt and appreciate all the pkm things (same reason Dendron didn’t stick either). Plus I’ll admit I’m getting used to the live preview thing.
Sorry if I ask, do you use it for note taking or general work management?
I am using it as both. I try to adapt Zettelkasten with todos, inbox and a personal knowledgebase, but also try to manage my Meeting notes, Project information etc.
I loved the idea of Obsidian, but wanted to use FOSS stuff, but damn, Obsidian is great and I always feel a little annoyed by Foam+VS Code because it constantly fucks up my tabs layout, closes the graph and, coming from Notion too, is not as fluent.
@[email protected] mentioned Anytype and I tried it this morning, but I cannot wrap my head around how to properly implement Zettelkasten and something like a folder structure so I think I’ll drop it, even though I was really interestet.
A coworker gave me a tour of Obisian just now and the features it has make it hard to avoid.
It’s not FOSS, but Obsidian operates on a folder of plain markdown files, so it’s at least easy to try.
IMO a folder of markdown files is the way. Interoperable with so many things.

But Foam is. It’s roughly the same as obsidian and it really helps structure my work.

This is what I use. Or if you don’t need image/PDF embedding or mobile support then VimWiki is a similar solution that is FOSS.
