how does it compare with Obsidian? is it similar, or doing something different?
It's time for another #FOSSFriday note. Today, let's talk about HedgeDoc.
HedgeDoc is an open-source, web-based, self-hosted, real-time collaborative markdown editor.
You can use it to easily collaborate on notes, graphs and even presentations in real-time. All you need to do is to share your note-link to your co-workers or friends and family.
I use HedgeDoc for note taking and staging long-form Nostr notes. My friend nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj introduced me to HedgeDoc last summer and I've been using it ever since.
I wouldn't say that HedgeDoc is a full Google Docs replacement though. That #FOSSFriday is coming up soon. HedgeDoc is somewhere in the middle between Google Keep and Google Docs. It's more specialized.

i've never used Obsidian
thanks. seems similar at a glance. especially the local-first, markdown editor aspect. if anyone out there has used both, which did you prefer?
I'm a happy obsidian user, but since my content is all folders of markdown files, it's perfectly mobile should aomething better arise.
Obsidian is more second brain app like Notion. Hedge is more like Etherpad where is editor can collaborate with others.
The other one I was trying to recall was https://cryptpad.fr/
