Obsidian to Bear, not looking back

It’s been over a week now since my wild-eyed foray into Bear.app after having spent over four years in Obsidian. I’m happy to report that I haven’t looked back!

Bear is a good example of the macOS ideal. It’s elegant and simple, but powerful. Even though I haven’t used Bear in a long time, it feels like coming home.

My reasoning is mostly captured in the post linked above. This post is to mark the experiment a success. 🎉
