Building a second brain apps12/10/2023 So you have a more linked "horizontal" and relational approach to the information rather than a structural cascade. But Obsidian (not the only one that allows it, and not a new idea per se) focus on making relationship between documents by keywords, Ids or content snippets (you still can have also a tree structure but is not his forte (pun intended). The "normal" or "common" way to do it is on a tree structure: this doc is archived on the X category inside on the Y subcategory. ![]() I think is related to the way on what you can organize the different files/docs. Oh, and the "second brain" is the first thing you are greeted with when you visit the Obsidian website. And some unique features such as the link preview as well as the graph view also help organize thoughts. I gather that other markdown editors do have the same basic features, it's just that with Obsidian the note linking is more ingrained and intuitive. ![]() Is it because of the network graph? This is surely quite unique but it can't be the only reason people use Obsidian. Is it because of the references to other files and headings and table of contents? Many if not most editors support such references, it's essentially part of markdown. And I still don't understand how is it better at organizing notes than other (markdown) editors. Over the years I have used Vim, Emacs (org-mode), Zim, Typora and other markdown editors. I have come across notions that Obsidian is not a text or document editor but rather a "second brain", "knowledge management system" and has better organizational features than other editors.
