Dumb question: is Obsidian anything more than an open source version of Apple Notes?
I realize there's technical differences but from a use cases / feature perspective - isn't it essentially the same?

I've spent a lot of time trying to find my "perfect" note taking app, and have attempted to build my own a few times, and I'm very happy with Obsidian.
Apple Notes is great, but can't do things like tagging/graph view and doesn't allow you to export in a standardized format.
Obsidian is a superset of Markdown (with a few modifications for page embedding and wiki-links) and allows you to sync with anything that provides a way for you to upload a folder of text files.
E.g., tagging, graph views, back links between notes, note/document templates.
All docs are (more or less) plain markdown as well, so if for some reason the open source community ever abandoned Obsidian, in theory it’s easy to export/transfer your notes.
