I recently got into smart notes and Obsidian. I think they can be a great way to organize your thinking and research. Any other users here?

If you are learning LaTeX, you might want to check out typst. There’s a plug-in to use it with Obsidian that’s under development, though it seems functional.
I was tired and frustrated with all the bloat that came with LaTeX. The syntax was annoying, and things constantly broke. I’ve been using it for almost a decade and I started off by writing a research report in secondary school, then did resumes, more research assignments, etc. Presently I’m working on a timeline package and a sort modular resume that will make it easier to tailor towards different jobs depending on their requirements.
I really suggest you take a look. It’s in its early stages and developments are coming along very quickly. The community discord is very helpful and enthusiastic, filled to the brim with brilliant people in disparate fields with all sorts of use cases. There’s stuff for music chords, 3D renders, circuit diagrams, slideshows, several theses, and so on.
Cool, thanks I’ll check that out! I’ve been tempted to learn, I just don’t work with math and that is what it has always seemed to me to be for.
I primarily use indesign for final typesetting and layout, and for everything including resumes, presentations, etc. I’ve been using it forever so I’m very comfortable with it, but I’ve loved how easy markdown has been to use. Always interested in learning something new though.
Oh InDesign is great. Fiddling around with code can be annoying, for a research paper I wrote in undergrad it took me longer to format it than to actually write it and I ended up doing quite well on it (as well as one can for a lower level biology lab with the expectations that come with it…)
