Hey folks, for our inaugural post, share what your personal use case for Obsidian is. Are you writer, student, academic, or something else?
I use Obsidian for writing/worldbuilding notes, documentation for various technical things, and a catch-all scrap paper. I’m still working on putting together a good workflow, and I could probably be utilizing it a lot better.

I use Obsidian for making notes on papers (+some blog posts e.g. the illustrated transformer) for my research for my PhD - It’s very useful. For general note taking and stuff and note taking in in meetings, I use Nextcloud Notes + QOwnNotes.
(and ref domain name, I do use Arch–>Artix on my travel laptop :P)
As a student I use Obsidian on my Arch Linux Convertible. It’s great for taking general notes during class and I use Excalidraw for doing Chemistry and quick Math notes :). Also good for annotating pdfs. Furthermore I use it for Art ideas, Recipes, Short Notes and all kinds of stuff I want to remember

As an academic I’ve used it for several years to track my classes, lecture ideas, etc., and more recently keeping a record of media consumption, movies, TV series, and novels.
I’d like to get more out of the data in my vaults but I struggle to grasp many of the most interesting community plugins such as Dataview. I really enjoy using Obsidian but suspect it’s challenging if you lack a programming background.
