		omair_inam on Oct 13, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app Anyone have any thoughts on Craft[1] and how it compares to Obsidian as a note-taking tool? My primary work machine is a Mac (I also have an iPad and iPhone). I'm looking primarily for a note-taking app with support for images. I don't necessarily need the more "glamourous" publishing type features that craft has. Things I like about the app: * (Generally) good keyboard support * Syncing (but I'm paying for it) * Good native apps on mobile Things that aren't so good * Editing code blocks [1] https://www.craft.do/

Two reasons why I’m using Obsidian instead of Craft:

Craft uses a proprietary data format. Obsidian is more portable since it just uses folders of Markdown files.

Craft for Windows doesn’t work offline (only online).
