I wish there's something like Obsidian with the same support for org-mode that Emacs has. A few pros:

- Organize notes in org-mode is much quicker - The best support for lists (and I do list most of the times) - Tags and properties - Perfect integration with agenda - Great TODOs support - Code blocks with highlights, execution and results



After a few attempts over the years to move to emacs -- all them failures -- what finally got me to use it consistently was Org. The funny thing is I still don't use it for coding or other writing; emacs is on my computer as the org platform.

I am VERY interested in Obsidian, which seems like it could definitely support an org-like system. It's _almost_ there as far as my own use cases are concerned, and the seamless sync to mobile is really enticing.

But goddammit, my fingers now know how to move through org buffers pretty well, and Obsidian lags on that front, so I may be stuck. ;)


Check out Org-Roam: https://www.orgroam.com/

It has some Obsidian-like features inside Org Mode.

So, if you're looking for an easier-to-use UI, it's not it, but if you're looking for Obsidian-like linking and backlinking, it has that.


Logseq has buggy syncing and imposes some odd constraints on your files if you want to keep it easy to edit the same file from both Logseq and Emacs, but in principle, it's all there!

Not sure if it can execute code blocks tho.


What specific features / functions are most compelling for lists? Of course moving a tree around with different header levels. But anything specifically great with lists?
