    FWIW, I was hesitant about obsidian for the same reasons. I would’ve preferred an open source editor and a syntax like asciidoc. But the fact that everything is markdown and it being such a common standard does make obsidian being closed source more palatable[1]. And tbh, for note-taking/“second brain” purposes, a relatively constrained format like markdown is pretty suitable. I wouldn’t want it for technical writing but it serves the purpose for quick and dirty tasks like quickly jotting down notes[2]. And any other markdown language wouldn’t have the same amount of tooling (e.g. org-mode is underspecified and essentially emacs-only unless you see stick to a specific subset of features)

    2. in an ideal world a more sane/context-free syntax like Djot would have been nice ↩︎

        I did use the previous one. Liked it well enough, despite having some config issues. (definitely my own fault though)
        But then it entered maintenance mode, and I had a few alternatives to try out … It’s good to see it lives on though, so I’ll keep an eye on it as I might give it another go, thanks :)
