I have used Obsidian for two years now, and I'm ready to say it works for me. Most importantly, I have learned that my notes need to be in an open and clear text format from now on. Otherwise I'm unable to commit to using any tool (including paper and pen).

PDF seems to be the best format to read books on iPad, and now I've started using it for reading web long reads as well. Being in control is the best part: You can decide how the website looks like, save it so it's yours to read and annotate however you like, and store it forever.
I started to use RSS again and setting the system up requires some work. I also noticed that my needs are so specific that each service does not support them fully. I have compared Feedly and Inoreader, and in the process found out the feature set that matters to me. Choosing which service to use is hard, because none of them is perfect. Some services can also be surprisingly expensive.
I was using RSS a lot around 2013, and I want to go back. I'd like to be more in control on what stories I see each day. At the same time I know the amount of items in RSS feeds can be overwhelming, so I'm excited to try out new tools to combat information overload as well. I'm glad to see that RSS is not *dead*, even though I understand it probably should evolve. Feed aggregators must evolve as well, or there might not be enough sources for them in the future.
