@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker I can't speak for the devs of course, but there's definitely a lot of untapped potential, even outside of plugin stuff (obsidian is very close to becoming a fully featured recipe manager, for example).

Here are just a few ideas:

@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker Better exporting could be a game changer for entire demographics (authors), leading to wider adoption in non tech communities the way we've gotten a sudden influx of ttrpg people thanks to javalent's plugin suite for DMs.

Obsidian isn't a scrivener replacement yet, but...

@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker Imagine if you could query your vault with natural language and get back algorithmically evaluated results. Imagine if you could ask your vault questions and get useful answers instead of having to rely on memory and regex or wikiwalks.

It would be an exciting new frontier.

@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker What if obsidian improved the graph significantly so that we could have more "views" like card views and genuine mindmap corkboard that felt more like spreading papers out on our desk and arranging them? That would be pretty cool and it's not programmatically insurmountable.

@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker What if obsidian got a cloud based web viewer on the backend so people could use it in a normal browser at work? What if they conquered the collaboration in markdown problem so it was more viable for enterprise stuff and not "just" personal knowledge management?

@TechWithEd @twwilliams @TfTHacker I don't know how hard any of that would be, or whether the #obsidianmd developers have any interest in going down those paths. But I don't think 2022 will be boring and I do think that there are a lot of exciting new frontiers that could be just as big as mobile and live preview.
