On 2nd thought, I don't think an AI would say "Start creating *you* first video"

Was the copy, especially on this page, written by an AI? https://www.steve.ai/about-us

not as far as I know. I've been using it for over a year and think that there's a free way to do everything on your own, and the devs and mods even help out on Discord for people to set it up. You can pay for the Sync or hosting service, but everything is optional since there are plenty of other options.

I posted earlier why Joplin was close, but Obsidian was worth the switch. What I haven't found is a good multiplayer-mode. There are hints that this might work with Obsidian in the future and I am excited about that. I've used mem.ai which is close, but it's been buggy and also there's note a clear way to "zoom out" and look at all your notes, like a file explorer, graph view, or whatever. I imagine they might change this. But BoostNote looks very interesting. I appreciate the recommendation. I'll keep my eyes on it, for sure.

I would agree father, but I was using Joplin and then switched to Obsidian.

Joplin is no slouch and no shade on anyone who uses it, but here's why I am happy I made the switch.

- Backlinks (Linked and Unlinked Mentions) are the super power of Obsidian. (Roam and others can do what I will describe, but I'm not aware that Joplin can.)

  - Being able to see everywhere I linked to my current note in my 1500+ other notes is  super helpful.   Having used Obsidian for over a year,  I couldn't count the amount of helpful connections this has created and news trains of thought this has led me down. 

  - Unlinked mentions takes this to the next level since I can take a note that is where I have developed a core idea that I want to propagate throughout my thinking.  By taking that core note and naming it properly or giving it an alias, in Unlinked mentions I often find dozens and dozens of places where I interact with this idea as a tangent before I developed this core note.  (And sometimes after, too.)  So when I return to ideas that are still in the sandbox and trying to be figured out, Unlinked Mentions sometimes lets me connect the new intellectual "key" to a "lock" that I had been frustrated with in the past.      

 - Obsidian's links and files work are consistent with Markdown spec, so they're more portable than with Joplin.  I can easily move from Obsidian to most other platforms, but when leaving Joplin, tags don't always migrate very well.
- YMMV on Obsidian's plug-ins, but the community has built tools that really are super helpful.

- The Table Editor is fantastic for creating and manipulating tables in Markdown.

- The Dataview plugin that allows you to dynamically generate tables based on metadata fields you create for each note. I find this particularly useful for notes on other works.

- You can Tweet directly from Obsidian and also draw within Obsidian using plugins. Maybe it's been too long since I used Joplin, but those weren't options that I was aware of. And the list of plugins is more than 200.

- The search is the best I've used on any *note-taking* platform. I'm sure there are better options in code editors, but for someone on the less technical side of things, it's usable for them, but it allows regex, expanding context surrounding matches, and a host of other options.

Hotjar is cool. You might look at https://www.luckyorange.com/, too. I'm using it for an upcoming project. I have a friend that works there, so I'm biased.
