Super interesting interview with Obsidian's CEO @kepano on Decoder with @caseynewton yesterday — and just in time for the launch of Bases in v1.9.10.

Are there other Markdown-based, plaintext apps that include database functionality?

This seems significant!

If you're an Obsidian person, what will you use Bases for?

A huge congratulations to the Obsidian team for another exciting update! 🙌

I've been a consistent Obsidian user since early 2021 (I still use it daily!) and it's been incredible seeing the features that have emerged since then. I'm very excited to experiment with Bases now that it has fully launched and appreciate the rich documentation that you've provided so far as I do so. There's an incredible amount of potential with these databases.

Here's to what's ahead and congrats again on the launch! 🚀

@keatonkeaton Agreed on the documentation; it has been very helpful to rapidly learn the ins and outs.

Obsidian Bases surprised me with just how transformational it is. But first, it's blazing fast (makes Notion feel slow-motion), it treats your all your notes as a single database that you can easily slice and dice (again, at blazing speeds). But once I found out what you can do with Bases in the sidebar, allowing them to dynamically display all the links (and the relevant information) related to the active note, it blew my mind. Obsidian, you've done it again.
