Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Cofounder of Obsidian here. We're excited to announce Obsidian 1.0 is live!<p>Obsidian 1.0 introduces two big changes: a UI overhaul and an new tabbed interface. We've put a lot of care into making the app more approachable and more accessible. We've also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows, and many details.<p>We got our first private beta users from a comment under a HN thread about org-roam [1], and our waiting list was an innocent Google Form. Good times!<p>Our initial launch on HN was over two years ago [2], when terms like "second brain" and "tools for thought" were still in their infancy. Since then, the landscape has continued to evolve and new ideas are sprouting in the space every day. Obsidian has always embraced its "hacker" nature and thrives off its community of tinkerers. We now have over 670 plugins that push the envelope of what's possible in the app.<p>We want to continue to foster that same hacker spirit, but at the same time, we want to provide a polished product that can stand on its own. In the last several months, we've expanded the team and refocused ourselves on providing a product that's polished and easy to use.<p>We have big plans to continue making Obsidian the best and most refined thought-processing app for decades to come. Obsidian 1.0 is just the start!<p>Special credits go to Stephan Ango (@kepano) for the redesign and Liam Cain for tirelessly polishing this release.<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22767658" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22767658</a>
