Obsidian
Local-first markdown knowledge base with wikilinks. My entire DevDigest pipeline lives here - research, scripts, content calendar, daily journal.
Obsidian is my second brain and the operational backbone of DevDigest. My vault contains: daily journal entries, video research (Firecrawl dumps organized by video), scripts for every video, a content calendar, and a performance dashboard tracking 332 videos with 5.6M total views. Everything is local markdown files synced via iCloud. Bidirectional wikilinks connect videos to research to scripts. I also use Claude Code to automate vault operations - generating notes, updating dashboards, and managing the pipeline. No subscription required for core features.
