I recently gave up on my custom-made note taking app and went back to Obsidian. I realised I could make Obsidian work 'well enough' for what I want rather than having to start from the ground up, but it was a fun exercise, and I feel more mature now or something idk

I went through the same loop with a custom task tracker. Built it for months, learned a ton about local storage and sync, then quietly went back to a plain markdown folder. The "well enough" realisation is honestly underrated. What was the bit of Obsidian that finally won you back?

Ha! I was *also* trying to do that. There were a bunch of things I hadn't found the time for: rich text (or markdown formatting), attachments, reminders (which I'm using Todoist for), and a mobile app. And probably more that I've forgotten...

That feature list creeping up on you is the real killer. You start with "just notes" and suddenly you're building half of Todoist and a markdown parser at 2am. Obsidian eating those problems for you is the right call.
