Mobile

I use Obsidian mobile. A lot. Almost every day.

I do not enjoy doing it.

It is not seamless. It feels bolted on. I have two shortcuts I use (part of the Lumberjack plugin) more than I use the app directly.

Obsidian on Mac (or PC) is a different thing than Obsidian Mobile. Or should be. It is a different product. The developers should look at it as a different product.

The vault can remain the same. But we don't need the myriad options that are available on the desktop app.

The mobile app should primarily be for two things only:

1. Quick capture
2. Quick reference

I could argue that if they just start with the first item, i.e. quick capture, it would perhaps be enough.

I saw on the roadmap that they are working on mobile quick capture. It is planned. So, they will start work on it soon. But that would be another thing on top of this. Whatever Obsidian mobile is, at present.

They need to burn it all down. And then build quick capture.

Longform

I am not sure what the problem is, but Longform does not seem to work for me. I use an iCloud vault. I am fairly certain it has something to with sync, or missing permissions.

Here's the problem:

1. I create a new project.
2. I add scenes to it.
3. I close Obsidian, but then everything is gone. The project does not stay in Longform.

I found links online, but nothing exactly describes my issue.

I removed and re-added the longform plugin. I created new projects. Nothing worked.

I opened the index file and found out that for some reason it does not update with the scene list.

I created a new draft and moved all the scenes to that draft, and with that at least, the index file was updated. But any scenes I add after this are not added to this new index.

I don't know if I close Obsidian, will the state go?

I don't want to use Scrivener. Please don't make me.
