ytechie commented on Show HN: Open-source obsidian.md sync server    · Posted by u/acheong08

FWIW - the sync service provided by Obsidian is really worth paying for. Dropbox / Github just aren't as slick and integrated. The mobile app doesn't work without sync (not without some really nasty workarounds), the option to "view sync version history", the fact that it's rock solid... all worth paying for IMO.

It works great for me just using iCloud Drive.

I’d really like to understand how people managers who work on teams / corporate environments use Obsidian.

I find that most of my work meetings are shared docs. It often feels like double work to put some things in Obsidian and move them around.

I also don’t use Obsidian as a task list - I use Todoist which is totally fine for that.

I haven't updated it recently, but this should give you a starting point: https://github.com/ytechie/obsidian-sample

There are some challenges with duplication, and I either keep my own version (focused on what I need to know about it), or I just have a link to the other system.

This would enable a much appreciated Obsidian plugin, it seems a natural fit

Obsidian supports Mermaid charts. I've used that for this type of chart before, to plan a trip.

Wouldn't these be great for trailers? Trailer blowouts are common, and often unnoticed, or can heavily damage the trailer. I have no interest in these on a car, but for a trailer, sign me up!

I've heard that all map projections are a compromise. Is this a leftover of printed maps?

If you take a photo of the earth, you can't argue that it's inaccurate, as it's literally a photo. When you use something like Google Earth, it's the same deal. You can rotate the map and everything is rendered fairly accurately for any given perspective. Aren't they an accurate representation?

I think Tailscale [1] can be to WireGuard what Github and Gitlab are to git.

If you haven’t checked them out yet: worth taking a look!

For me, I get motion sick if I'm not driving, so I'm really excited about this. I'll be able to use the toll HOV lanes.

It's a little bit more than only an editor. E.g. it contains the complete framework for custom languages with syntax highlighting, auto completion, annotations, etc. You can easily plug in support for your custom languages there.

What it doesn't contain compared to VsCode is multiple panes, file management, etc.

The App Service Editor (which uses Monaco) does have file management. It even has a web-based command-line interface. https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/App-Service-Editor

VSCode has a browser version as well[1]. It's just the editor. Similar to CodeMirror.

It's actually built into Azure websites. To navigate there directly, have you app name ready and put it in this URL: https://XXXX.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev/wwwroot/ where XXXX is the name of your site. For a little more history, you can listen to my podcast where we interview some of the brains behind it: http://msdevshow.com/2015/09/visual-studio-code-with-chris-d...
