10 years in electronics, and I’m yet to hear solder once despite working for an international firm.

I saw this recommended elsewhere on Lemmyna few days ago and have given it a shot after a month or two trying AnySoftKeyboard - its great.

It may not be as obviously feature laden with additional keyboards etc as ASK but it has much better defaults - all of the extra punctuation is where my fingers just expect it to be after a long time on SwiftKey.

ooh, this is great, lets hope there’s some adoption.

Im quite happy with just a few additions to basic markdown, however I’ve been holding off using canvases much because they’re not portable, should Obsidian turn to the dark side so perhaps im missing out.

Any recommended usecases for canvases over notes?

Sounds like the book would be a great resource.

I’ve hopped out of electronics and now make a living coding in an adjacent area, but find myself working with colleagues that are happy approaching all tasks like a script.

Code reviews, coupling etc arent part of their vocab so in lieu of peer role models im on the look out for good resources thst aren’t just chasing the next buzzword.

I started trying to use Joplin and couldnt get over it using a database rather than raw .md files. Once I’d added a bevy of plugins the UI really didnt seem to be handling thinhgs well.

I considered VS Code ± Foam and found myself doing a lot of the work baked into Hopping/Obsidian myself, and could see coming a less rich plugin ecosystem once I was done.

Quite happily using Obsidian now and managing my files myself. Glad I can just get on with de-OneNoting now.

Seeing privacy & security taken seriously offsets the lack of OSS for me.

You can also put vim inside VSCode via extensions!
