This was really fun to read without know what "obsidian" is and I can happily report that by the time I got to the end I still had no idea what it is.

A ha, found it on another website:

> Obsidian is a Markdown-based note-taking and knowledge base app.

https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Format+your+notes

View on HN

I created a PR to add a note similar to that, and a link to the Obsidian web page.

I thought it was going to be about Fallout New Vegas.

I thought it was a new Minecraft block ;)

The founder of Obsidian is a former Minecraft modder.

I was a little disappointed, as I thought it would be instructions on how to make actual, physical vault from obsidian. I made a knife from obsidian. It’s brittle but very sharp. I only really use it to open envelopes.

Ok - I want details, youtube video and how to guide :-)

How about jello, paper and bismuth?

Obsidian is a TiddlyWiki[1] alternative ;)

While TiddlyWiki is both a Wiki and a personal knowledge database, I am also using it as a basis for my personal website about ADHD[2].

Main feature of Obsidian is that unlike TidlyWiki it can save.

Of course Tiddly Wiki can save.

Otherwise, how would one edit it?

Aside from the HTML quine saving mechanism, there's a Node.JS auto saving version, Tiddly Desktop, and multiple other versions tailored to specific needs
