This is a great list thank you for your work.

Obsidian is a fairly popular note taking app (107 000 members on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/) and has many community plugins (that should maybe be checked as they are not from the obsidian developers) including plugins for latex. I once read on reddit a comment where someone wrote that they write their articles with obsidian, if I recall correctly, by converting the markdown to latex using a pandoc plugin if I remember correctly.

Personally, I found the experience of writing latex on obsidian a bit limiting (no good support for labels, limited amount of latex package support if I recall) but the automatic latex rendering while writing was nice (at the moment I prefer neovim with snippets and code I wrote for viewing rendered formulas in a pdf popup but that took a very long time to setup so I cannot recommend it)

We do have an issue to add a section on such apps #36.

However, Obsidian being only free and not open-source, I will be hesitant to add it to this list. Otherwise this page will become a big advertisment page for all sort of paid products.

Fair enough. Thank you again for your work on the list.

I am also a big fan of obsidian and I using it together with logseq. But I am also not sure if it is reason enough to loosen the open source focus of the list.

You use logseq and obsidian separately for different things or do you use them together in the sense that you have a system where they communicate ?

I use them on the same git repo, logseq for journaling/todos and obsidian for writing. Checkout https://discuss.logseq.com/t/making-obsidian-play-nice-with-logseq/1185

Closing, since Obsidian is only free, but not open source
