Use experience feedback and the comparison with obsidian.nvim

Firstly, I have use ekphos for several days, It totally replace Obsidian for me now ! But the deligent author seems not here for a while 😭.

I think the app is quite useable, but I tried neovim's obsidian plugin (with lazyvim) since yesterday, and I found its feature is mature, too……

Did anyone try that plugin ? And what should be the difference ?

Hey! Sorry... the past few weeks have been insanely hectic for me and I really couldn't touch this project. I'll be back resolving issues and upgrading at the end of this month. Thank you for the patience :)

As for the difference, it really comes down to the purpose. obsidian.nvim exists to cure the homesickness of neovim users who love Obsidian, whereas ekphos is more of a thoughtful experiment of how a standalone app is the better approach to gain more control of what we can possibly build on the terminal to mimic Obsidian or even have our own advantages.

Last but not least, the noticeable differences are things like layout, zen mode, graph view, performance (ekphos should be better for most things, especially large markdown files), and of course sane defaults which could be really helpful for new non-neovim users :)
