Really I need to be able to start typing within one tap from opening the app (Obsidian requires me to give the note a name first. If I had that much time and forward thinking I'd be using Notion) and to be able to scroll through my notes in a card overview format like a Pinterest board of my previous thoughts.
I want the markdown, hashtags, note linking, data access, extensibility, and data access of Obsidian. I hate Keep not having them. But Obsidian is just not fast enough for me to actually use.
I'm mostly just ranting cause I'm frustrated at the lost investment of all the time I've spent today trying to make Obsidian do what I need and it's just not that thing.
@ash my main issue with obsidian is that is hard to work with desktop and mobile because tools like google drive don't integrate with mobile filesystems and configuring and using git is a pain
@eons@mastodon.gamedev.place I honestly don't even mind doing the extra work for git sync, but the UX flow is just too cumbersome. I thought we were using markdown cause we wanted to keep things quick and simple 
I've been going on and off Obsidian.
It does a lot of the things I love about Scrivener in a multi-platform package.
Text docs are a bit hard to mark up with comments, though, so I end up having to put them in Google Docs or another external app to share/get feedback. Minor annoyance, but it impacts one of my major use cases.
(TBF, Scrivener is even worse about sharing.)
I use OneNote for article capture these days, since it's reasonably practical to organize and share.
Blughhhh. I want to like Obsidian. It's super cool, I love all it's features and extensibility etc. But I can't take capture small notes quick enough or scroll through my list of existing notes as easily as Google Keep. It's insane that Keep is the best tool for this I've found for myself, but I'm still here.
