Obsidian

Use Minimal theme with this CSS snippet:

css

/* make cursor stop blinking in VIM mode  */
.CodeMirror-cursor,
div.CodeMirror-cursor,
.cm-fat-cursor,
.cm-animate-fat-cursor,
.cm-fat-cursor-mark,
.cm-cursor {
  visibility: visible !important;
}

/* remove all visual noise (buttons, sidebar) */
.side-dock-ribbon.mod-left.is-collapsed {
  display: none;
}
.view-actions {
  display: none;
}
.titlebar-button {
  display: none;
}
.workspace-ribbon {
  display: none;
}
.status-bar {
  display: none;
}
.view-header-title {
  display: none;
}

how it looks with the theme

Also use Obsidian as a way to work through active todos, until I build an app for it.
