Ah, that’s a good idea, Paul – I already use iaWriter as a helpful all-in-one solution for various other desktop-only markdown apps. Thanks!

Yes, Obsidian is actually amazing; I had a play last night. I’m delighted to hear mobile apps are on the roadmap.

Could do with a couple of simple back/forward buttons, mind (although the keyboard shortcut is conveniently simple, too). I’m going to try it on some of my heavyweight markdown folders…

Cheers,
Bill

I’m using Roam these days, but on the obsidian forums most people recommend 1Writer as supporting the Obsidian wiki-linking features and sync a bit better than iA writer…. (Note, however, that while Obsidian supports linking to sub-folders, 1Writer does not support this.)

I don’t do much wiki-linking in iAWriter on iOS/iPadOS, and if I happen to create a link I’m confident it will “just work” when I get back to Obsidian later.

The important point about 1Writer is that links you created in Obsidian will work there. So you can navigate and read your notes on mobile very much the same way that you would on desktop. (Although it won’t show backlinks.)

For those starting fresh are there feature advantages to Obsidian over Roam (apart from price and local storage)?

I mainly work with notes and have looked at Notion (an application tinkerer’s nightmare!), Roam (quite pricy), Workflowy and Obsidian.
