ObsidianMD Sales Pitch for tumblr users / creatives
its pretty much an excellent all-around jack of all trades tool. here's some samples of what you can do in it
Honestly, markdown is less complicated than it looks but in order to get around markdown just download a plugin called "Editing Toolbar" that recreates a Word-like environment. There's also the default hotkey command of Ctrl P that makes things easier.
You can embed Youtube Videos (aka all those tutorial videos) into your notes by default and use the "TimeStamp" community plugin to play, pause, and insert timestamps (doesnt have to be purple/pink, you can change the color)
You can utilize the core plugin "Canva" to make mindmap and connections between notes. More importantly, you can hypothetically make relationship charts using arrows. There's also an excalidraw plugin---that one makes it look more hand-drawn.
There's a plugin called "Longform" for writers that combines "scenes" into one entire manuscript
pdf integration is a thing! you can both export your notes as a pdf, and upload a pdf. this is a default ability of obsidian!
you can create templates to make note-taking super quicker
there's themes to make it look nicer and more aesthetic, and you can change the font! (I'm using Anuppucin with a etsy font I bought, if you're curious) (yes there's dark mode)
it runs very much on the concept of backlinks, which means if you create a link in one note, you can find out which notes all include that link. example of this with an embedded link
there's a kanban plugin!!!!
there's a kanban plugin!!!
in conclusion: obsidian is super cool, please try it out.
