    I'm seeing lots of people saying they're now switching to this note app from others, especially Obsidian. Capacities is like a cross between Notion and note apps like Logseq, Obsidian and Reflect. A little similar to Anytype which I reviewed a few weeks ago. In this video, I talk about what you can do with Capacities and why many people are choosing to switch to it.

      Learning how to set up Obsidian is such a drag. Every day something new brakes and it takes hours of troubleshooting to rebuild the code anew because some update messed up the plugins again. I spent 95% of my time in Obsidian setting it up, rather than actually using it. I'd still stick to Obsidian as I'd like to own the data and all that, but man is it a drag to use for anything useful.

    For many of us, we prefer our notes -- our "second brain" -- to be fully owned and managed by ourselves, rather than by a corporate entity. This removes the risk of our data being subject to the whims of the market and developers in terms of access, features, and cost. This is probably a good alternative for the average person, but I can't see most true users of Obsidian actually wanting to switch.

      Does Obsidian used to be free and open-source?
      I can't find anything about this anywhere, but i'm pretty sure that the first time i've accessed Obsidian's site it was presented as an open-source software which had its back-end part mainly made by an asian guy while the front was made by an asian girl.

    I think the main objective of note taking apps must be to take notes and not internet connection. Obsidian and logseq is an epitome of such tools because their priority is the complete ownership of data and the ability to use the tool without the internet connection be it woods or airplane which is more private and secure. Anytype too again focuses on "offline first" and then backup the notes to the node(cloud) when there's internet connection. These tools really prioritise note taking and not the need for internet connection just to take a simple note.

    Honestly, I don't know many persons who left Obsidian.
    No tool is perfect but it's continiously improving updates after updates with new features (and plenty of community plugins available), while still remaining free, interroperable (markdown format), synchronizable and privacy respectful (local storage with the freedom to sync with any sync software). Another big advantage of Obsidian for me is that it does not force me to follow a specific way to organize your notes unlike many other apps.
    There are not a lot of apps offering all these advantages ...

    As many other commenters have already pointed out
    There's no way Obsidian people like me would leave Obsidian to this Capacities app
    Obsidian have many advantages and features out of all the other note taking apps key important one is the private data ownership of data with key features from many popular note taking apps RoamResearch (Second brain of linking notes) to Notions integrated features of All in one note taking that's the reason why Obsidian started to begin with
    Capacities entire design language from the start is made for the Apple people aka people who have preference of aesthetical simplicity which is seen on several of your video chapters (Graph view, Page Layout, Gallery and Table views etc) over functional complexity and these are entirely two different approach and target for app user customers not even the same
    Even the paid model is a exact copy of Apple centric app AI Assistant and AI chat which can be used freely if you know how to sort out the hugging face extension in Obsidian
    Video title is very click baity with no reason to even exist cuz the target user of Obsidian and this app Capacities are very different even if they look similar in a glance

    I don't see how this app is even remotely comparable to Obsidian. Obsidian is a notes app that stores your information locally and syncs using E2EE.

    + It has as much storage as your Device is. if your PC has 1 terabyte storage, your obsidian has 1 Terabyte storage.
    + It doesn't require the internet to get access to your files. its fully Offline app. all you need is Charge your PC.
    + It is a FREE APP. No monthly subscriptions etc.

    So, probably not the first person to think this. but it totally seems feasible to recreate this type of system in obsidian. Like down to the different dashboards. And page formats for. various objects. I think the only limitation is the integration with an email client. which admittedly is extremely cool. Has anyone had a similar thought or potentially even attempted to recreate this system yet?

    Obsidian users is there a way to do something like this 1:57 in obsidian? I searched for a while in plugins and other places, but couldn't find anything like it. I wanted to do this, but for a character not an actual person, and having a place made specifically to describe and even include photos seems to be really practical.

    This is basically what happens if Logseq and Anytype had a baby together. Obsidian can't even be compared to this because they are two different fields... (Obsidian for long form, non-outlining, traditional note taking, Logseq is for daily journalling and Anytype for objects with your favourite types). Honestly, I would say go for Anytype.

    Obsidian is as simple as you make it, it has excellent functionality without any plugins but that huge community is there to help you customize your use if you want/need it. I haven't really heard of this app before this video, so I haven't really seen people leaving Obsidian for it as you claim. If anything, the lack of onboarding in Obsidian is its weak-point, which they are working on, but would mean that people just simply don't make the effort to learn it, so if you said "users that never wanted to learn Obsidian are trying this instead", I might believe you.

    Thanks for the video. It looks nice and easy. But there are many advantages of Obsidian that you did not cover. You only covered the looks and functionality. But what about important things like does it store things on your local drive or is it all cloud based? Is it end to end encryption based? Is there are good community? And so on. I wish you had covered a lot more things than just the immediate bells and whistles. Also, as a new platform, will it survive in a market where Obsidian definately has firm roots?

      Personally, I am quite tech-savvy, I can write a vba macro or build a computer or install an os or set up basic proxxmox and a few vms or build a basic home network with a few APs, poe, and stuff, including planning, procurement, and installation.
      But I don't have time or desire to learn markup because in this day and age you can find solutions that offer normal formatting/tagging options.
      So they perhaps should consider implementing those as an option, it's not rocket science
