Comments and Reviews
I've migrated to FSNotes from Obsidian, and before Obsidian I was using Notion to organize my notes.
Compared to Notion, it's just a more natural feeling minimalist note-taking, without unnecessary database features and slow UI. I also like to have my knowledge base as local Markdown files.
Obsidian was too complicated for me. Too many features. FSNotes keeps the minimalistic spirit of the Apple Notes app, while adding a lot of useful features on top of that.
