  • I use Obsidian a ton, but the actual feature set I use is incredibly small.[cf]
    • 1) The ability to easily create a pointer to another file by typing '[[' and then having a nice autocomplete (that also makes it easy to intentionally create a stub).
    • 2) Being able to navigate quickly to a page by typing a key command and then typing a few letters of the name in an autocomplete..
    • 3) Knowing that I can visualize backlinks pointing to any page.
    • 4) Knowing that if I rename a page, all of the backlinks will update.
    • 5) A single layer of folders (for example, for daily pages, or for a 'people' folder)[cg][ch]
    • That's it!
