Obsidian vs Roam vs Zenkit Hypernotes

Awesome video

Why is RemNote not here?

I find the Obsidian community far more helpful and friendly than the Roam community.

I've tried all three and like Hypernotes the best. But if I could only use one of the other two, I'd probably be super happy with it.

As a Roam user I watched this thinking, it's not easy to capture the features of Roam that would make someone chose it over the others in a top-level video like this. One is that a block has nearly all the functionality a page has. And separately but related, blocks acquire the links/tags of their parents. Third, block reference/block embed. Oh and finally, for the geeks, the API. So you can make it do whatever you want that it doesn't already. (Though Obsidian may have this too, I'm not as familiar with it.) Once I started using these features to their fullest in Roam, I found it hard to use either of the other two. Though I'm genuinely glad they exist. There's a way of thinking that Roam uniquely supports, that the other two don't. And I'd LOVE to see either or both of them acquire more of the features that currently make Roam unique.

Craft update please :)

The Roam cult has nothing on the Obsidian community. Also, the Obsidian devs are lovely and present people, whereas Roam’s founder is a prick.

Obsidian Remains Supreme

It does everything Roam does and more for free
And most importantly.....YOU OWN YOUR NOTES
Even the community and plugins are much better


This video didn't do it justice

I still have yet to try Zenkit

I tried all three, and I still do not understand how Roam appeals to anybody with a program like Obsidian around.
Hypernotes does a really good job. Not only uses back links but also block references. You can insert any table via MD and easily insert subscript/superscript that is a taboo for many programs.
It is fast and works on iOS and android without any problems (at the moment).
However, data view plugin in Obsidian gives countless opportunities to analyze your data.

As an obsidian user I have various thoughts on this comparison but I am surprised Logseq wasn't mentioned in this comparison.

Always loved your videos ! ..
Just ensure timestamp okiee👍

Can you do some videos on apps for free journaling with free sync? Please
