I use obsidian right now. I do enjoy the convenience of markdown files, do you have any specific use case where the graph DB would be superior to them? Would it stop scaling at very large notes? Furthermore, the biggest painpoint for me is sync and cross-platform support. I have to use dayone, a journal app on iOS, because the experience (of actually writing thoughts) of any other app is just too inconvenient for rigorous daily usage.

Outlining. Treating each bullet as its own document. Granular embedding.

I've been using Obsidian to gather research and plan requirements for a software project. It's worked well, but feels like using a wiki with a few extra features.

I wanted to use Roam but the privacy policy wasn't suitable. I think with Roam I'd have ended up with less duplication as I could transclude more.

Also, miss a visual editor. If Obsidian and Typora had a child, would be amazing


Have you tried using SimpleNote on mobile? The sync to other devices is great and it works on more platforms.
