Org mode means I have to use emacs for the rest of my life since there are no better editors for org mode. See Org Mode for a comprehensive instruction and to see what’s possible with org mode. The following diagram is to decide which language to use Use mermaid to draw graphs in your markdown note. Use a symbol like –> to replace if-then statements. w/ instead of with and w/o instead of without. 
Use/Create a set of symbols to make note taking easier. I think I can make a css stylesheet to export to html based on it. The preview/export feature is not a deal breaker right now because it doesn’t affect my method of note taking and writing. The other problem with vscode is the preview/export to pdf which is not as powerful as obsidian. The only difference is linking to sections which is not supported in vscode. Memo extension in vscode is almost identical to obsidian, so I can easily write in the same format in both. Also, all my notes are in markdown, and converting them to org won’t be easy. I will check vscode extensions again if Obsidian discontinues the free version. I don’t think vscode extensions are there yet to be used as my primary tool for second-brain-zettlekasten. I will continue to learn emacs org mode and org roam but it’s too much time sink and prevents the original deep work. The only problem is that they might change it to require subscription. I am very efficient with obsidian and it has all of the features I want. I also can download the installation of the current version of obsidian which is free so that if they changed it, I can have a working base. So bottom line: use either of these tools but don’t link to section and don’t embed files very often (I’m sayin very often because doing so doesn’t break the links and a simple link will be added to the file). Because if I ever go to emacs, I will be using org mode for sure and markdown-mode in emacs is not very powerful (no link autocompletion, backlinks, …) So I guess it makes sense to continue using it. I can use wikilinks for every file format in both vscode and obsidian. wikilinks (which luckily all three editors support). The only things that are not standard markdown are: As long as the syntax is the same, I will be fine. In the meantime vs code extensions will improve and new apps will come out. Emacs is used to do stuff that I can’t really do here.īut make sure to use a universal syntax so that you can use vscode or emacs later if something happens to obsidian. Use vscode for snippets, multi-cursor, export to latex, and its huge extension market which is awesome for getting things done and project management (the closest to org-mode I can get). Use a combination of vscode, emacs, and obsidian. Then if I don’t like it completely, I move to emacs. I will use vscode/vscodium as my main eidtor for now so that I can get rid of Obsidian. 
Restaurant kitchens are not pretty because professionals care about efficiency and not pretty.All the time I spend configuring and debugging Emacs is time I’m not spending doing something more productive,.When we take notes, we should ask “in what context do I want to see this note again?" The primary purpose of note-taking should not be for storing ideas, but for developing them.Notes aren’t a record of my thinking process. Language: I decided to use Org Mode inside emacs for a few months now and I find it extremely helpful. So, if you have a tool that’s working for you now, just f***ing USE it and don’t think about the future of the tool and what happens to it and to your future self.Įditor: I use Emacs for note taking and Vscode for coding.You can always change them relatively easily. Don’t think about folders and hierarchies.In terms of converting formats: Even if you can’t use automatic tools, you can use regexp to convert the syntax more or less.The important part is the raw information you capture and not how it looks. Don’t think about publishing and making it look good, because notes evolve over time and you don’t want the pdfs of them you created two years ago.The worst is that you can’t convert your files easily to another plain text format, but even in that case you can search your files and find the data you are looking for.
As long as you have access to your data and they are palin text, you will be fine.Don’t spend endless hours contemplating the tools.
