Yesterday I put #Obsidian on my PC. I am trying to figure how how I would benefit from using it.

So far I don't see a use-case for it that is better than how I use any other text editor. The window management seems clunky.

I'm trying to think of a reason to use its note linking/graphing feature. I'm just drawing a blank.

Maybe I could use it to "map" my #PathfinderRPG campaign, like cross-referencing characters and stuff, if I actually wrote it down, but I don't. It's in my head.

Here's an example: I have a note for each person I know or interact with. I use properties in the frontmatter, one of which is date of birth (dob). I have a das...

I'm still messing around with #Obsidian on my PC. While I don't see a specific benefit to using it over another text editor, I don't see any major drawbacks either, so I'm tagging my existing markdown docs with its header format and migrating over. I still don't see a use for the graph, but it's...
