From the front page of Wired — @jhpot shares his process for writing articles as they move from brainstorming to pitching to publication.

"You can customize Obsidian to work basically any way you want it to. I've done this to create a perfect setup for my workflow—one that allows me to do my planning and my actual writing in the same application."

Why local-first matters, from @davidpierce

"If Obsidian ever goes away you'll still have the app, if a plugin ever disappears you'll still have the version you installed... And if for some reason way down the line the app stops working entirely, you'll still have your folder of text files, because that's all it is anyway, and you can take them somewhere else."

"If Obsidian goes away you'll still have Obsidian. That is local-first software."
