After scanning some documentation, I think Obsidian has great potential but has ignored their most common use case. Maybe I am missing something? I hope I am.
The documentation describes a note-first approach, and a link-first approach. If you are taking notes independent of the rest of the world this is ok. But I read web pages that Google and new services push to me constantly, or search, and almost all of my notes are web page-first. I used to share these to Pocket (terrible organization of pages) or other things. I resort to sharing them to an email message to myself to read the next day. What I want to do is push them to Obsidian, refine the metadata, and use existing or new tags to fit them into the tagging scheme.
I rarely start with notes. I am absorbing info that I want to tag, develop insight from, and link into more complex structures later.
A lot of potential because it is so flexible, but it is so horribly awkward to use. I ctan be morphed into something highly usable, but I have a day job.
