Bye Notion, hello Obsidian

I’ve finally started to move off of Notion for my knowledge and information system. It’s been so hard since I am so invested in it, that I am never going to trust any third party app to own and host my data.

I’ve made peace with the fact that my stuff is trapped in there and I am starting fresh in Obsidian. Obsidian’s UX is something I’m willing to adapt to because I think it’s the best interface we have so far to deal with plain text content. It’s a whole thing I have a few words to say about.

What I’m most excited about is the switch to just power-dumping my notes into daily notes, and using tags to reference certain bits (lines and headings), and using Dataview to surface it wherever I want.

I am still using Notion for my ongoing project management, but I think all my new stuff is going to be in Obsidian as well.
