Too much apps posts heh?

Since I tried to do google keep, I was making notes for about a month and then just didn't open the app for some reason...

I reaaaaally missed the graph view of obsidian. I am actually a backend developer. So I decided to learn flutter to make my perfect note taking app. And I was postponing creating notes, because I need to make a perfect app first. It was counter productive. I needed to make notes and I didn't.

Last weekend (the only time when I have free time) I researching how to make graph view. As I was thinking about edge cases for my own implementation (because how else ofcource) I realised something. It is not worth it. I spend too much time and energy on it. It's not fun, it will not bring me money.

I wanted to make my own obsidian because I didn't want to use syncthing. Then I spend 6 months (well not really if we exclude the time spent on work). And now I am back from where I started.

I want to try this.

I do feel a little anxious that I don't really have a goal for an output. But it is better to stick to something then start the search for something perfect again

Im not quite sure if this is solving anything, but if you don't want to use obsidians sync, you can use the "self-hosted" live sync plugin. It's pretty easy to use and works great once you get it running. You do need a server but it's very low on rescource usage so you can get that pretty cheaply

That's interesting, thanks! Didn't know about that
