Obsidian Workflow

Obsidian is a Markdown-based knowledge management tool that stores all notes as plain .md files on your local machine.

Why Obsidian

• Plain text — no vendor lock-in, files are just .md
• Local-first — your data stays on your machine
• Bidirectional links — <span class="wikilink-missing">wikilinks</span> create a knowledge graph
• Graph view — see how your notes connect visually

Exporting to the Digital Garden

Since Obsidian uses plain Markdown with <span class="wikilink-missing">wikilinks</span>, notes can be imported directly into this digital garden. The garden parses <span class="wikilink-missing">wikilinks</span> and builds the same graph you see in Obsidian.
