Until the app is a little more polished, I’m only using Obsidian for the graph view and finding new mentions that aren’t already linked. The downside is that there isn’t a proper ’sync’ because Bear’s notes aren’t directly accessible and need to be manually exported as. I’ve tried 1Writer and iA Writer as suggested in their forums, but I‘ve found that Bear provides the best mobile experience and compatibility with Obsidian’s markdown. It’s been tough to find an app that I can have most of the functionality I want on iOS like page linking, tags, inserting images while being able to expand on it further in Obsidian on desktop. Thought I’d pitch in with a perspective from someone who is mainly working off an iPad. do hope to see backlinking make it into Bear very soon □□ U/TedwardBear thank you for keeping tabs on this thread. just today I tried to hide the Obsidian app by pressing ⌘ + H and it invoked a search+replace dialog instead - an absolute joke (yes I'm aware you can customize the key commands but you get the point). it's very tempting to use Obsidian for backlink functionality but I can't take them seriously without native support. That said, as u/trypdot mentioned, where Bear has it right is by building native apps and avoiding the software plague that is Electron. the Obsidian team got this right by making backlinking a first-class citizen in their app. Just want to add a +1 to this conversation to request backlink support in Bear.īacklinking is clearly a killer feature - one that is so obvious once you see it implemented that you start to expect it be included in every notes app (think: pull-to-refresh or rubber band scrolling). Bear is still a great option but there are some things that I find annoying or lacking which are filled by Obsidian. I think it depends what you’re trying to do. I generally prefer IA Writer at this point but 1Writer is a little more feature rich (it supports page linking for example). Obviously no iOS app specifically but I’ve been trying out IA writer and 1Writer which are both good options. The fact it’s web based and customizable means you can tweak CSS for theming, already some nice themes out there. I know for some people this is more friction but I found it difficult to read content in bear when it has lots of tags and links, the extra noise makes it distracting. Still very early so it’s hard to judge against more mature software.īack linking is a really useful feature as you start to build a bigger and bigger content library, seeing linked and unlinked content as a glance is really useful.Īnother thing I’m into is the ability to switch between edit and preview modes. I’ve been testing out Obsidian and actually really like it. But if you are doing any kind of research, I think backlinking is essential, whether it be with Roam or Obsidian. I can definitely see how some Bear users would prefer the stability and simplicity of Bear. And that editing style is coming to Obsidian! The line you are on shows Markdown, but all the other lines are rendered. The live preview is such a pleasant experience. An official mobile client is on the roadmap.įor the last couple of years I've used Typora as my own wiki. There are several iOS markdown apps I can use for quick edits and adding content. I'm actually keeping my vaults and their respective markdown files on iCloud for super fast syncing. Oh, and it's on your local drive instead of being hosted. You get backlinking and unlinked resources like Roam, but instead of being an outliner with blocks, it is just a regular markdown file. The developers (creators of Dynalist) have been super responsive and the community is very active. I like Obsidian enough that I became a supporter.
