I den nye Claude-Code-drevne verdenen har mitt valg om å holde meg til Obsidian som notatapp (smertefullt migrert fra Evernote for mange år siden) blitt bekreftet. Jeg ser venner som prøver å installere MCP-er i Notion og fortsetter å betale abonnement på Notion, eller MCPs of Roam, som gjør en elendig jobb med å navigere i Roam-grafen deres, mens du med Obsidian ikke trenger noen plugin, API eller MCP i det hele tatt. Obsidian er tross alt bare en kodebase full av markdown-filer, du kan la Claude Code gå over i det – filsystemet er API-et, klartekst er formatet.

Steph Ango (@kepano) is a designer, entrepreneur, and the CEO of Obsidian. In this episode, we discussed his journey from creating Winamp skins to leading Obsidian, and the fundamental patterns and inclinations that drive everything he explores and makes. We discussed Obsidian on multiple different dimensions, his deluxe chocolate chip cookie recipe, his exploration through furniture design, and his default inclination to push “too far” into anything he is exploring. Steph Ango demo'd the design process of several furniture projects he’s been working on at home as well as a custom piano learning app he created to teach himself music theory. This is a conversation about craftsmanship, pursuing a deep understanding, and what that reveals about who we are. The Other Stuff is hosted by @internetvin — filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.
