the markdown-powered beast that turned my cluttered mind into a structured wiki with backlinks and magic
Section 1: introduction the brain fog problem
Let’s be real for a sec most of us are drowning in digital clutter.
You open Notion to “organize” your notes and suddenly spend 45 minutes tweaking page aesthetics like you’re designing a landing page for a failed SaaS. You try Craft and get distracted by the beautiful UI because it’s basically Apple Notes with a Gatsby filter. Capacities? Promising, but slow. And you still can’t remember where you wrote that idea about “building an indie dev SaaS for LLM-powered cats.”
We’re knowledge workers in the age of information overload, and ironically, all our shiny productivity tools are making us feel… less productive.
Here’s the core problem: these apps want to organize your thinking for you.
But what if you could build a system that works with your brain, not against it?
That’s where Obsidian stepped in for me. No fluff. No clunky databases. No “Sorry, this page is still loading.” Just plain text, local files, and the power to shape my knowledge the way I think like a dev. Or a gamer grinding XP in a skill tree of ideas.
This isn’t just another productivity tool. Obsidian is a thinking environment.
And once you get used to it, going back to block-based apps feels like trying to write code in Google Slides.
TL;DR: Notion is the IKEA of note-taking pre-built furniture for your ideas. Obsidian is Minecraft. Build your Second Brain from raw markdown blocks.
Section 2: the difference isn’t shiny it’s structural
Let’s cut through the hype.
When you open Notion, it feels like a Silicon Valley co-working space. Sleek. Minimalist. Buzzing with “startup energy.” You’re greeted by templates, icons, widgets, and the false hope that this time, your life will actually get organized.
Craft? Even prettier. It feels like journaling in an art gallery until you try to scale up or connect ideas and realize it’s all surface, no depth.
Capacities? Conceptually cool. But performance is sluggish, and the UX assumes you want your thoughts to live in someone else’s taxonomy.
Now open Obsidian.
You’re staring at a blank markdown file. No clutter. No artificial structure. Just you and your brain.
It’s… intimidating. But also freeing. Like Vim for your mind.
Here’s the fundamental difference:

Obsidian is structural. It doesn’t just help you store knowledge it helps you shape it.
While most apps think in pages and databases, Obsidian thinks in connections. Notes link, loop, and evolve like neurons in a living brain.
That’s why it clicks with developers, writers, researchers anyone who needs more than a static to-do list. It’s not here to be pretty. It’s here to be useful.
“The best tools don’t get in your way. They get out of it.”
probably some dev who mapped their whole life in a markdown vault

Section 3: markdown > block-based thinking
Let’s talk markdown the raw, nerdy, glorious markup language that fuels Obsidian.
While Notion fans are still fiddling with /commands
, column widths, and toggles nested inside toggles like some Russian doll of productivity, Obsidian users are just… writing.
Because markdown is fast.
It’s lean. It’s plain text. It’s what devs already use in README files, changelogs, blogs, and wikis. It’s the language of the web, the command line, and now your brain.
