## Motivation On 2025-02-11 I finally decided that probably [[Obsidian]] was the best choice to hold all my notes. I have used [[Notion]] and even [[Obsidian]] before, but they did not work in the end because: - An over-complicated setup made it difficult for me to stick to using my previous [[Obsidian]] vaults, as well as trying to use it to handle all my tasks and to-dos on its own made me disenchanted with the setup, and missing [[Notion]]'s database feature; - The unfulfilled promise of a good mobile experience on [[Notion]], as well as clunky writing experience (why can't I use any editor depending on where I am writing?) and inherent issues to its business model (i.e. proprietary format, even exported notes are close to obfuscated). ## Set up The idea is to have: - A new [[Obsidian]] vault, the [[Digital Garden]], that will contain all of my notes: - [[Zettelkasten]]-like notes, migrated from previous knowledge bases; - Different notes on projects and work journals, - Coding journals that can be easily edited from the terminal. - A part of it that will be publicly available, using [[Obsidian Publish]], to have it readily available in [garden.diego.codes](https://garden.diego.codes) to share notes that can be useful to someone else. - ~~A (hopefully) simple two-way integration with [[Todoist]], to delegate the to-do management.~~ ## Progress - It was relatively easy to [[Integrating Todoist with Obsidian|integrate with Todoist]], even if the `todoist` blocks do not work once published via [[Obsidian Publish]]. Since then, I resorted to using [[Things 3|Things]] for to-dos and discarded for now any kind of integration. - [[Obsidian Publish]] have been set – the vault is readily available in [garden.diego.codes](https://garden.diego.codes) thanks to the defined documentation to set up [[Cloudflare]] redirections. - Thanks to [[Obsidian Sync]] and the [[Widgets for Obsidian]] [[iOS]] app I now have a good enough set up on mobile as well.
