Aeon working and syncing with *Obsidian*

Update
Same applies to Obsidian. It looks fascinating, but there’s a great danger that you’ll end up just stuffing everything you can into it and playing around with it, completely losing sight of your actual goal. I always have to remind myself of Brandon Sanderson, who came up with the term “world building disease”.

Many tools, including Aeon Timeline, will indulge one’s world-building disease. I don’t think I have the disease – but it’s possible I’m just in denial!

In my case, I find Obsidian matches my creativity as I write. And yes, I write directly in Obsidian.

Here’s a screenshot where I’m using it to plot and write my fantasy novel series. (I use an ultrawide monitor, which enables me to have any information I want about my story before me as I write.)

I can even track start/end dates and times. The only thing it doesn’t do easily or well is place everything on a timeline or, my favorite, provide the Subway view. For that, Aeon Timeline is my go-to, especially now that the Q1 update will include Subway view for Narrative and Outline events. (This will be AMAZING!)

So, as much as I wish I could find a single app to do it all, Obsidian comes remarkably close, but Aeon Timeline does things that nothing else does. That’s why I have continued to support development by keeping up my subscription and helping as a beta reviewer.
