I've been looking for something like this for... so long. It's like tiddlywiki but with first class & local markdown! Thank you!!!

Add a separate GUI for a workflow-y like list-editing (that saves as a markdown list format) and you've got a serious competitor to Roam as well as beating out more traditional competitors like Notion, Boostnote, etc.

e: ah, no inline LaTex.. I knew there was a catch!

FYI, they're the ones behind Dynalist.

Can you clarify who "they" is? Are Dynalist and Obsidian made by the same folks?

[Eugeleo → xavdid]

AFAIK yes.

Dynalist doesn't have the first class local markdown support like this!

Sadly, this makes it completely useless for me.

Agreed, although according to a reply a fix is in the works.

The catch shall be fixed soon! :)
