And if you browse through various blogs, forums and social spaces, you will quickly notice that peopleвЂ™s enthusiasm for software like Roam or Obsidian isnвЂ™t based on links at all. In practice though, many of those who use these new tools say that they donвЂ™t use links very much. And so links enter the toolbox of personal knowledge management (PKM). They show that hyperlinks are not reserved to things such as web pages or wikis but that they can be used for personal notes as well. The rise of interlinked note-taking tools could change the situation somewhat. Discourse around the Web is rather sociological, economic or political: вЂњlinkingвЂќ doesnвЂ™t refer to documents but to вЂњcommunitiesвЂќ and вЂњplatforms.вЂќ And the semantic Web remains fairly confidential. However, most people donвЂ™t think of hyperlinks as a way of organizing knowledge. And the semantic Web (or linked data) shows us how far the logic can be taken. Links are so important that we could legitimately call the Web a reticular information system. Today, linking is obviously at the heart of the Web. In the Encyclopaedia, linking is used to build an alternative knowledge organization, in subtle opposition to the established order of things. Writing on the occasion of a digital edition of the Encyclopaedia, Philippe Roger underlines how discreetly subversive they are: вЂњthe cross-references create an allusive and polemical subtext they thwart the dogmatic trap inherent to fixing meanings.вЂќ Roger, вЂњDвЂ™un rГ©seau lвЂ™autre,вЂќ 2001, p. And these links are not random nor trivial. These small indications at the end of a text send readers on a non-linear path to other texts, behaving like a proto-hypertext. In Diderot and DвЂ™AlembertвЂ™s Encyclopaedia, for example, entries are organized alphabetically but also by cross-references. Linking of course existed before hyperlinks and computers. Indeed, links arenвЂ™t just navigation tools: they can be used to organize documents (in reticular fashion) just as folders and tags can be used to create hierarchies and apply taxonomies. The defining characteristic of this group of tools is that they use hyperlinks to organize notes. I use quotes because there is no consensus on terminology: some people call them вЂњtools for thought,вЂќ to emphasize what theyвЂ™re used for rather than what they do. You may have heard about вЂњinterrelated note-taking toolsвЂќ lately. : Updated cell regarding display of Markdown vs.A long post about links, documents and graph screenshots. Zettlr allows adding color labels to tags (I personally wouldn't rely on this too much, as the color information is stored within Zettlr itself в†’ Not portable) #foo_bar, Obsidian will only recognize #foo as a tag (might be a bug) Highlight position of search results in scrollbar When hovering over a link, a popup preview of the target file is shown Alignment of regular markdown text is as in plaintext file for theme 'Bielefeld' (because it uses monospace font), while 'Berlin' distorts alignment.

Update : This depends on the theme used in Zettlr. Obsidian seems to distort alignments (e.g., this table I did in Zettlr, but in Obsidian the alignment of the columns was broken does obviously not affect preview rendering of the table). Markdown content exactly as plaintext file

Obsidian supports split views, i.e., having multiple files visible at the same time

I.e., when file content is changed externally In Obisidan, the ID is only generated when creating the note, and is used as its filename In Zettlr, you can insert an ID at any point in the file. While typing the name of the target file, you can skip letters and the best matches are shown automaticallyД¬reate new file when link target does not exist The ID doesn't have to be in the file name, it can also be inside the file itself (useful for Zettelkasten, see below)ДЇuzzy search complete when creating links Zettlr kind of supports this by showing linking files in the search results

As both tools have many things in common, I decided to list in the table below features/aspects that are currently exclusive to one or the other.ДЇeel free to give me your feedback, and add your findings in the comments as well! Feature

Since with Obsidian a new competitor entered the 'battlefield' of Writing/Notetaking/Zettelkasten software, I felt like comparing Obsidian with Zettlr.
