I am working on a system for independent websites that is akin to this. rather than focusing on notebooks, I decided I wanted to make a system for making websites from notes.
it's going to be incorporating a few features like distributed hosting, version control, offline and archive modes and distribution. client driven content and work on adding new plugins.
You'll want to look into gitjournal. It won't work well large vaults (no wikilinks)... but it works for a separate vault with the files I want on the go. That would be shopping lists and the ol' do-queue. Dendron, a vscode extension is also a great alternate/partner to Obsidian. They both have they're strengths and they play well together as they have converged on a future-proof spec of Markdown+wikilinks+LateX. Plus you can already Publish with it using 11ty! e.g: https://texdeck.com
On the roadmap there are plans to introduce a lightweight mobile app in the near future. Here's hoping this will come soon but the Devs are doing a cracking job
This looks like a perfect fit for my use case, just downloaded it! I'm using Foam instead of Obsidian but it looks like the GitJournal author is also targeting Foam support.
Obsidian kind of gets a pass since you can sync a directory of markdown files to anything and editors are available for iOS/android. Not idea, but not going to stop you from getting ideas down into text.
Big fan of Obsidian, I love that it's completely usable on it's own (without a cloud) and you can bring your own syncing technology to it, whether that's syncthing or Dropbox.
Personally, I moved from Obsidian to Foam: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/
VS Code is a much better editor, in my opinion, and I enjoy having the entire VS Code ecosystem of plugins available to me
Looks amazing. Having recently moved to a Macbook as my daily machine, I was missing Notepad++ immensely. I had a portable version of the ap stored in my Dropbox and would have 100s of tabs opened in it accessible from anywhere.
Hoping to get some of that functionality back with Obsidian.
I like the information about plugins, yet miss stuff like Obsidian Publish. I've written a more scatterbrained and comprehensive blog post about Obsidian: https://niklasblog.com/?p=25043

My biggest issue is no mobile app. It’s can’t really claim to be a second brain if it’s only accessible at your computer
In the mean time, there are other apps that can work with your markdown files when you're away from your computer:

Not exactly Obsidian Mobile, but should be close enough. The dev is tracking Obsidian compat issues: https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues?q=is%3Aissue...
