Software that is free and has 60,000 user-created plugins and does everything, but "it does everything" does not clarify how to do any particular thing:
- Resolve
- Blender
- Gimp
- Godot
- the reason for this post is I installed Obsidian because if you're a writer with a huge collection of mostly-text content it... does everything... π
oh well, it still beats the pants off software that costs $30/month and does one thing
obsidian can do everything
if you want an RSS reader? someone has built that.
if you want a task manager? someone has built that.
calendar? someone has built that.
do you want to fill in a number on a daily journal, and then at the end of a few months, generate a chart of how you've rated your life? someone has built that as well.
the key thing for us was to start small and let things grow organically overtime - and in that respect, it's a lot easier than blender 1.
link a few places. maybe make some helpful templates. be loose with the folder structure - it's fine to have a big bucket of stuff as long as the note is well named (or aliased) so it can be easily found again, add some folders later once there's a collection of some notes that clearly go together. only go looking for plugins when there's a need or want that the base app can't provide.

with that said, it is still worth learning a few hotkeys, specifically "open quick switcher", "open command palette", and "search all files" in our case.
