I’m currently seriously considering moving from Notion to Obsidian. More and more of my work is becoming file-based now that I’m building a local AI OS in VS Code. For writing articles, posts, ideas and documentation, Obsidian feels like a more logical fit. The part I’m still figuring out is project management. Right now, Notion is still the place where I manage projects, tasks, ideas and longer-term planning. That works, but I also know how easy it is to build a system that becomes too big, too flexible and eventually too messy. I don’t want to recreate the same thing in Obsidian. So I’m curious for the people who already use Obsidian seriously: 👉 How have you set up Obsidian so it also works for project management? 👉 Do you use folders, tags, links, daily notes, dashboards, Kanban, tasks, Dataview, or something else? And maybe even more important: What would you keep very simple if you had to set it up again from scratch?

Here’s a small insight from my side. I noticed that I was still doing a lot of my work in separate projects, loose chats and separate documents. For example, for one new project I had already created quite a lot of documentation. Until now, I would usually work on that in ChatGPT Canvas, then move parts into Google Drive, update separate docs manually and keep switching between different places to keep everything aligned. But I’ve now started moving completely into VS Code and building a simple AIOS there. Even without going through Nate’s lessons yet, this already feels like a massive productivity shift. The biggest difference is that everything lives in one place. When something changes, I can update one part of the system and then let AI help me apply that change across all the relevant documentation, prompts, workflows and files. That sounds small, but in practice it removes so much friction. Less switching, less copying things around, less “where did I put that again?", less rewriting the same context over and over. It feels much closer to actually building a working system instead of managing a collection of loose documents and projects. Can;t wait to have the full AIOS setup with a personal wiki of all my knowledge from the past 14 years of creating courses, masterclasses, seminars, etc. Curious to hear from people who are already further with this: What is one skill, workflow or habit that has made the biggest difference for you when working this way, and that you would recommend building as early as possible?🔥

As I mentioned before, I'm building every week a new platform. At the moment, I'm building a platform for the farmers in Uganda. I wonder what you are building at the moment? Please share what you do and how you do it, and what kind of tech stack you're using for the build. I'm just curious what you all guys are doing.

i build a obsidian extension that imports youtube videos into obsidian with a full transcript and time stamps for a quick search. obsidian is a must tool for anyone in 2026.
