  • I tried a bunch of these note taking apps and didn’t really get on with any of them. I now use the Vscode/Vscodium extension Foam which essentially gives all the note taking features and graph view in what is already a good text editor.

    So long as you are mainly writing notes and don’t need the database features that AnyType has or the DataView plug in Obsidian has (though there might be another vscode extension for this - I’ve never looked), then you’d be fine.









  • Foam is essentially core Obsidian inside VSCode/VSCodium, no access to plugins etc but there are VSCode plugins you can use as a replacement i.e. GitDocs can replace the Obsidian Git Sync plugin

    If you search for comparisons most are pretty outdated now, for example Foam does have a graph view but Obsidian will still pull ahead in terms of features.

    The main advantage for me is having everything in one program especially on my work PC where I can’t install Obsidian but I am allowed VSCode.
