Jot's purpose is to ease note management, using vaults stored in different parts of your storage, that can be accessed from anywhere, essentially eliminating the need to manually cd to different locations. This is still in its initial phase, hence the rudimentary features (I prioritized everything I considered basic necessities). I am working on adding more fancy features though, for example, a fuzzy finder.

Fwiw (maybe not much :-)), for me the the killer feature of obsidian is the combination of markdown + inline image rendering + local storage. My notes are typically screenshots + text. Being able to drag and drop a screenshot into a note is primarily why I use obsidian.

Obsidian is an absolute dream, I know. I do still use it for college/research projects (basically anything information heavy), but I've found it to be a bit of an overkill in most of my daily use cases <- one of the reason why I am working on this tool.
