Cool. Available for windows, linux and iOS. I tried to use todoist, but it has some real problems syncing and arranging data. I spent hours creating a worflow only to lose more than half of it when trying to sync it across devices. I hope Obsidian will do better.
Obsidian is a note taking app. Todoist specializes in creating tasks and scheduling them. They are different tools for different jobs.
Obsidian is very capable of handling tasks and scheduling them. That's a solid portion of what I use it for, while also conveniently having my notes directly linked to from these tasks.
You can extend obsidian to basically do anything.
That doesn’t change the problems I had with todoist. I was using it in a note taking format, the scheduling part wasn’t really relevant to my use.
I use Obsidian between Ubuntu and IOS.. Sync is a bit erratic.. It always... eventually, refreshes, but have not been able to find how to force sync on IOS. Sometimes end up doing trivial changes to see if can get the sync on IOS to trigger.
Ubuntu client shows when it does sync and it does appear to do it fairly quick.
Good to know. Thanks for the real world use info.
