Notes are stored in Markdown files. Why do you need Obsidian CLI to view notes when `cat` will do?

Okay, so my command line fu is not what it perhaps should be, but if I could use obsidian without the bloated app, I'd be even more in love.

How would I be able to search obsidian links from the command line?

Like, to travel between notes in the app of course I can just click on connecting links or search, but I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to do that in a cli.

Is there some handy way to search the current folder and subfolders for text in a file with regex? Like some kind of >find term for all of my [[term]] entries in markdown files ?

What is obsidian beyond a pile of markdown files without the app?

Hackernews is accessed using http. Why do you need a web browser when curl exists?
reply
Not gp, but because the way hackernews would render in a web browser versus curl is dramatically different, of course. There's a clear separation of presentation and content, and curl shows you presentation.

Notes being plain text files means that what you get by showing via a CLI is essentially the same as just `cat whatever-it-is.md`. Viewing a note via the CLI interface could have its merits (it could apply its own flavor of presentation), but come on now. Your example doesn't hold.

You can view notes with Obsidian CLI. See the "read" commands. But also you can do that with your built-in command line tools.
