I like Obsidian too, but the one thing it really can't do that Notion does well is collaboration. And surprisingly I haven't seen any good plugins that solve this problem (to be fair it's not an easy problem).


sort by: page size:

not too sound dismissive, but one of the great things about obsidian is their ecosystem of plugins. I don't think this really rivals obsidian

Also agree, Obsidian plugin would be amazing!

I've been using Obsidian for a while and have some plug-ins, but nothing like you're talking about. Would you make some specific recommendations on the plug-ins you're referring to?

Is there a plugin for obsidian?

Obsidian is great but I haven't had much luck with plugins. They often break after upgrades and most are not maintained. Perhaps that will change after the 1.0 release, at least the breaking problem

Nice. Perhaps an Obsidian plugin?

I'm not sure if that is available out of the box, I haven't seen it if it is. But the killer feature of Obsidian is the community plugin ecosystem. I would be surprised if a plugin isn't available soon so make this happen.

Any chance of getting an Obsidian plugin?

Obsidian plus various plugins would be my recommendation.

Obsidian does not support collaboration.

It's a fantastic tool but strictly singleplayer.


Unlike obsidian, it doesn't appear to have a plugin system (yet?)

Obsidian is very different from Notion, I wouldn't call it an alternative. And all the plugins which try to replicate some Notion-features, are not really on pair in terms of quality, and seem to be mostly dead anyway.

Hm, I am trying to consolidate my toolchain these days. This is neat, but not 'I need another program running / another website in my life' neat. If you make an Obsidian plugin, I'd happily pay for that.

It's interesting, but honestly I prefer to stick with Obsidian. The biggest selling point is the huge collection of community plugins that vastly extends its capabilities, enable automation, and more fun things

Instead of a separate platform, it would be nice to have a Obsidian plugin that does exactly this!

And then you'd rather just write a plug-in for Obsidian?

That's a neat idea. Would love to have that as an Obsidian plugin!

That's exactly the issue. Obsidian is great but not open source. I think the closest free software equivalent is Joplin (or maybe Zettlr)

Seconding the request for an Obsidian plugin. I would also gladly pay for a one-off license.
