obsidian

I’m working as a contractor for the GNOME Foundation in addition to my regular job at the Matrix.org Foundation. Keeping track of tasks, decisions, and time spent on a project can become quite difficult when it’s not clearly time-boxed as “working for GNOME every Thursday” but looks like “working for GNOME a few hours each day.”

In a previous post I mentioned my quest for an interoperable successor to OneNote, and how I ended up settling with Obsidian. I often braindump in bed, before picking up the ideas and fleshing them out on a computer the next day. This means I need to synchronise Obsidian between my computers and phone.

When I worked as a consultant, I loved OneNote on the Windows 7 machine I had to use. When moving to Windows 10 OneNote had become a version mess between the free and paid one… and then work allowed me to move to another operating system. Needless to say non-Windows versions of OneNote are not as feature rich nor usable as the one I was used to.
