I was looking for a journaling app that didn’t have vendor locking, or required some weird export dump that messed your formatting and folders up. That lead me to Markdown and Obsidian. I love it. And when I die, that shit will still be readable by any basic text editor.
Could we convert this meme to markdown?
One of these days, someone is going to invent a confluence alternative that only supports markdown and doesn’t have nay of confluences stupidity and it is going to EXPLODE and bankrupt Atlassian.
Whoever made Jira’s markup syntax: Straight to jail.
The thing I dislike most about Atlassian products is that each of them has a completely different formatting engine and markup syntax. You’d think they’d be consistent but noooo
Atlassian doesn’t even have consistency within single products! I’m using Jira Cloud at work, and while most fields support markdown (e.g. three backticks to start a code block) there are a few that only support Jira’s own notation (e.g.
{code}to start a code block). It’s always infuriating when I type some markdown in one of the fields that doesn’t support it for some inexplicable reason.
Discovering obsidian has been a blessing for my sanity and made me less lazy for taking notes.
Plus I can use latex to transform md into docx and there’s decent pdf support so I don’t need to play with the circus of WYSIWYG pain that’s MS Word.
I keep meaning to check out Obsidian, but I’m like you said, lazy.
Be lazier! I believe in you.
