Nothing special, just everyone on YouTube admires Obsidian so much to manage knowledge and notes. The following table may be useful for someone. I got sick and recovered from personal wiki using Dokiwiki. And a few thoughts regarding these programs are below the table.
| Functions | Obsidian | Logseq | Emacs org roam | Vimwiki | Dokuwiki |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tasks | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Calendar | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Diary | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Relationship diagram | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Opensource | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Teamwork | No | No | No | No | Yes |
| Size | 221 Mb | 190 Mb | 305 kb | 6,1 Mb | 32 Mb |
| Markdown support | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Plugins | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Zettelkasten | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
If you are still going to use Obsidian, just a reminder:
- It's not opensource, so nobody can say, where this app sends your data to
- There is a service to publish your notes, but it's not the same as a web app for team notes; it works vice versa: a web app (Dokuwiki, for example) can be installed on a local computer, as on a server but in personal mode
- I didn't get the idea of the relationship diagram
- Dokuwiki is just an example, some people recommend TiddlyWiki if you need Zettelkasten exactly
- Vimwiki and Emacs can help a lot with Markdown files: adding links, tables, and lists
I'd also recommend the services with backups included vs. personal note-taking programs.
