- The beginning is always difficult, and this is my first time posting on XLOG. I still feel nervous.
- Many blogs focus on attracting attention, but my XLOG is just for recording my own experiences.
- I am using a knowledge management software called Obsidian, which claims to "sharpen your thinking".
- Let's start sharing good things and analyzing doubts together from here.
What is Obsidian?#
- It is a file manager, similar to Windows Explorer, that allows you to organize any file.
- It is a note-taking software, similar to OneNote or Notion, that allows you to take notes on the go or for research purposes.
- It is an operating system, similar to XP, Win7, or Win10, that allows you to install various plugins and achieve different functionalities.
- It is an open platform, similar to a central square in a city, where you can dance or relax.
How to get Obsidian?#
- First, you can download it from the Obsidian official website, but the speed may be slow.
- Second, you can search and download Obsidian from Github, but it may also be slow without acceleration.
- Third, you can download Obsidian from the Obsidian Chinese forum announcement, which is faster.
How to install plugins?#
- First, you can install them online. With internet permission, open settings, go to third-party plugins, disable safe mode, browse, find the desired plugins, and install them.
- Second, you can install them manually. Search and download the desired plugins from the internet, place them in the plugins folder under the hidden library folder (.obsidian), and open the plugins after reloading.
