Your question is valid imo and Im happy to share my thoughts/experiences on these two apps. Ive started using obsidian since its infancy stage and i was onboard with it because i wanted to use an alternative to notion that can be use offline and has better privacy. I got into the rabbit hole, like changing the layouts, formatting my templates, everything. But then i slowly realized that i spent a lot of my time customizing and optimizing everything that i end up not doing that very thing why i downloaded this app, which is to make notes! lol and at that time, it lacks proper tables and databases, although tables can be created now with the latest update but it still lacks the database that i need, it feels janky to me. Another thing, I struggle with text formatting in markdown without installing another plugin to suffice my needs. Also, just like what everyone has mentioned already, the plugins are overwhelming and annoying. These really lose my interest in note-taking in obsidian for a long while. Thankfully, i found about siyuan via reddit and i never look back ever since. I love WYSIWYG approach, making notes and organizing them is way easier for me. I only use minimal number of plugins in siyuan. Most of them are just QOL plugins like bookmark+, tab manager, link icon to name a few. There are still some room for improvement (still waiting for the official release of calendar view for database) and Im hoping for more features/updates to come.

Will try that suggestion. Thank you!

Hi again! Any thoughts on this feature? Is it doable to code something like this? Thanks!

Good to know, will wait for the next version. Thanks for the update.

I see, i'll check which of the plugins causing the issue. Thank you for the info!

I think I also have the same issue:

What should i do?

I finally updated to the latest version (v3.4.2), and it seems that the lagging is lesser than before. I have a database with 150+ items, and the dropdown list loads a bit faster now. Contents shows up quickly too as i move from tab to tab. Thank you!

So this confirms that this is not an isolated case. Hoping this'll be fixed in the future update. Thank you!

Hello! I upgraded to ver 3.4 and the embedded YT videos are working now. Im also glad that the kanban view is added too! Cant wait for the calendar view to drop soon. Thank you very much!! 😁

Im also using the latest version btw

Alright! will be waiting, thank you for the update!

Hi, I've checked the link you sent here but I cant seem to still find the solution.

I see, so the length of the note does not matter? It's more on the type of content block being used and its size that affects the performance of the app, right?

If im correct, it's better to have short notes to minimize the number of content blocks per note, isn't it?

It worked when I added the double quotations marks enclosing the path, which is not mentioned in the user guide, hence the roadblock. To the devs, please I highly suggest adding some screenshots or a short video/gif in the user guide as I find it a bit lacking on the details.

Thank you @alvorithm for your detailed instructions albeit in linux. Really appreciate it! 😊

How do I determine the "absolute-path-of-the-workspace", the one after the "--workspace="? Where do i look for the port number? I really wanted to get this but that's the part where I struggle the most.

Hi! I followed your advice and it worked. Thank you for your help! Appreciate it 😊

You can also download this plugin called open directory to have easy access on the folders of your workspace

Yes, you can. Just go to the folder of your workspace ➡️data ➡️assets (C:....[name of your workspace]\data\assets)

Same situation here as well. I sent a question regarding the export/import process on the official discord server. Just waiting for their reply and provide any solution.
