Like many others, Not books but writing my thoughts made me a better evaluator of them.

where are you writing them?

Try UpNote, I find it more usable than Obsidian,

Just had a look at it. It's ok but there are some serious limitations in comparison to Obsidian which would make it unsatisfactory for me:

- No command palette

- No block inclusion

- Notes appear to be stored in databases rather than just as markdown notes on the file system. Backup of markdown notes seems to create a flat group of folders with randomly generated file names.

- No plugin/extension capability.

- No graph view

- No daily note template support

Yeah, that's an issue, but for me, it felt more like an app rather than a wrapper. And the table support is way superior to Obsidian.

The only thing that is making me not switch to Mem is lack of tables. I really heavily on tables for notes. And that has not yet been implemented in Mem.
