Obsidian completely changed the way I work, and it is one of my favorite tools of all time.
So let's talk about what obsidian is, how to use it, why it is so powerful, and how it can make your life way better.

    Love this - Great video Amichai. I've recently started using Obsidian for notes and liking it so far.

    Great Video! I've tried a number of approaches for organising technical notes, I don't think I have ever invested enough time to make them part of my developer workflow, what I do know is I really struggle with anything that I have to keep organised e.g. folders or different note books. Really enjoyed watching something a little bit different too. Thanks 😊

    I tried Obsidian. It did not stick, but im planning to give it a few more tries. Some opinion of mine: Cons: - Copying sample code from official documentation into your notes does not make sense. Thats why we have documentation. It does not help you know more. Hands on experience and delayed repetition/knowledge recall does. + as official documentations/APIs are changeing, your notes are getting outdated. - It can give you a false reassurement, that your knowledge is growing, but deep inside you know that every note of yours could be a really simple google search - For me it was really time consuming making notes any better than my sources from the Internet. - Hence I found myself always using google instead using my notes. Pros: - In theory linking notes (new knowledge with existing ones ) together is a great way to deepen knowledge. - Its free
  • @aathifmahir
    Looks interesting, let me try whether I can integrate this my work flow

    Wow, great video, thanks! I've also been playing with Capacities io, which is like a mix of Notion and Obsidian. Worth to check it out.
  • @MrEkwador
    I have searched almost all the comments under your videos, Amichai. No one has asked you a question about how to draw multi-colored lines instead of single-colored lines in ZoomIt. I would appreciate it if you would write back in the comments how to do it. Btw, this video is great! I have structured my knowledge base in folders and markdown files where I store my code snippets. This will help me a lot to organize the resource!

    Up until now, I never ever had to use this tool. However, I keep hearing about how great it is... So I'm giving it a fair try... Hopefully I'll remember this video and post an update about how I feel after 1 week.
  • @BolteDev
    Nice video, would you be kind enough to let me know what you are using to highlight/annotate on your video?
  • which tool you are using to draw colourful arrows and boxes while doing presentation ?
  • @sykespro
    Notion has been my preferred tool, but I have been convinced to give something else a try. Thanks
  • @crahun
    Do you have any plan to see ddd deep dive? Your courses are the best on dometrain
  • @maflend2762
    What is this application that allows you to draw arrows on the screen?
  • @stillmattwest
    Hmm... I mean, Obsidian looks pretty good but I've been taking notes in markdown for a long time and I never really find myself wishing it could do more. I think I'm good with that.
  • Great work! I've been using Obsidian for a long time. It's truly "one that rules them all" note-taking application.
