The state of Obsidian in 2026

By BlazePhoenix541 · DISCUSSION · About Obsidian

With all the competition in this space, where does Obsidian stand heading into 2026? I think it still has strong fundamentals but the lack of innovation recently is concerning. The ecosystem is mature which is both a strength and a weakness. What do you all think about its future?

StormPulse179: Can confirm this works. Been using Obsidian the same way for months now and it's been flawless. Great tip!

PixelSurfer27: Pro tip: check the community forums for Obsidian. There are some incredible guides there that the official docs don't cover.

ShadowEcho853: This is exactly what I've been thinking. Glad someone said it.

ShadowVibe354: I think we'll look back on this era as a turning point. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen.

ZenMaker756: Had the same problem. Try resetting to factory defaults and setting up from scratch. Fixed it for me. Pain to reconfigure everything but it works.
