I've been looking for something like this for... so long. It's like tiddlywiki but with first class & local markdown! Thank you!!!

Add a separate GUI for a workflow-y like list-editing (that saves as a markdown list format) and you've got a serious competitor to Roam as well as beating out more traditional competitors like Notion, Boostnote, etc.

e: ah, no inline LaTex.. I knew there was a catch!

FYI, they're the ones behind Dynalist.

Can you clarify who "they" is? Are Dynalist and Obsidian made by the same folks?

Dynalist doesn't have the first class local markdown support like this!

Sadly, this makes it completely useless for me.

Agreed, although according to a reply a fix is in the works.
