If you're following my journey writing a novel in @obsdmd, I just posted Chapter Four via Obsidian Publish.
In the long run, I'm going to document my process more fully. But I thought I'd share a few things I've encountered so far. 👇

First, here's the link to Chapter Four if you want to read it: publish.obsidian.md/timeworn/Time+…. You can navigate to the Preface if you'd prefer to start from the beginning.

...and because Obsidian Publish is a great feature!
First impressions:
1. @obsdmd is great for drafting. It's in paragraph form by default, and writing is smooth and intuitive.
2. Obsidian Sync is excellent. I've written quite a bit on my phone & iPad, and it syncs seamlessly.

Here’s something I hear from new #Roamans on a regular basis:
"I'd love to use @RoamResearch for managing tasks and projects, but I'm afraid I'll lose track of them."
or
"I'm worried I'll set things up the wrong way and it won't work."

“I’ve used every #productivity app out there. They all start out amazing but after a few weeks things pile up and then I get lazy and it stops working. Why should I invest EXTRA effort to create a custom system in Roam when the real problem is ME and no app can fix that?”

Let’s set aside the fact that it ISN’T you (it’s system friction).
If you’re still reading this thread 3 tweets in, then you’ve seen the magic of Roam and you want that magic to be working for YOU and YOUR work.
Is that possible? (spoiler 🚨: It is!)

1/ Over last 2 weeks been playing with @craftdocsapp while working on my newest @obsdmd plugin. For all you #roamans, it is Roam42 workBench, but tailored to Obsidian. I am calling it Text Transporter (for you Star Trek fans) since there is already a plugin with workbench name.
2/ anyhow @craftdocsapp is beautiful. For those looking for excellent block centric authoring with export MD support, this is amazing.
Some of my #roaman friends (@beauhaan) preach the gospel of Blocks. And I agree, blocks are the best unit for work. Craft supports them natively

3/ While Craft is amazing, I still can't see it's future. It is a little between Roam and Obsidian, but not a totally fair comparison. It is simpler and easier to learn. Uses more standard UX metaphors, which makes it a snap to learn.
Great suggestions for alternative hashtags in the threads, always happy to push them :)
I’ve noticed it as well recently, eg @roamhacker pushing for #roam instead of adding in cult. Happy to hear what the citizens of @RoamResearch think!

To clarify: I didn’t mind the word cult in the hashtag. From my perspective it looked like a form of banter.
But I speak from limited experience - no exposure to real cults where I lived.
With @RoamResearch users growing, word definitions may have to be respected

Even if we change the hashtag, the community is still the same. Highly encouraging, very welcoming, and all know how great this tool is.
