I’m able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.

You just reminded me. My dad used to say “Don’t take any wooden nickels!” Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.

Whoops, should have noticed your endorsement of syncthing before posting a comment mentioning this.

While Obsidian does save to individual files, the Markdown they use seems to be a superset of everyday Markdown. Eg, being able to use callouts (eg, Note, Warning, Info, etc) and embedded linking of notes.

The automatic backlinks are fantastic. And I’ve discovered that if I rename a note, all links to that note get updated as well. So no need to worry about orphaning pages.

I’ve added a handful of plugins as well. Off the top of my head, one is a dynamic table of contents (for that page), another helps to compose/edit Markdown tables.

Also a big fan of Obsidian!

For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.

I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.

You piqued my curiosity. Has to go check into these.
