How I use Obsidian

It’s a truly remarkable app you and team have built. I’m going to use the term _simple_ but please understand that that’s high praise.

To me, obsidian is a thought-taking app, not a notetaking app. Thoughts are amorphous and incomplete no matter how much you embellish them. They don’t belong in only one place with only one label or pinned to only one date. They reach out to each other. Merge and split. They sit inside each other sometimes.

Obsidian gets that. It offers _just enough_ structure and automation and operating system (of a kind) to force the binary file system on some silicon to work like our brains do...and not the other way around.

Hacker news strips 'how' from the beginning of submission titles. It can be readded (and seems like it was)
