Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • As far as I know it is "safe", it's not sending your info anywhere, it's not installing anything bad. It's a template for better managing lots of disparate info in Obsidian and provides a great dashboard. I tried it and it was fine.
  • Like others, I used make.md when I first started using Obsidian several months ago. It's a nice plugin. The developer has put a lot of work into it, and I appreciate that he's upfront that it's meant to be a comprehensive plugin
  • While it uses a database to track certain elements related to the plugin, your notes are in no way “locked in.” I also have no trouble using other plugins.
  • Best thing u can use Make.md. This is the best plugin and it makes obsidian single handedly comparable to notion.
  • the make md plugin has a sortable view at the folder level that is very close.

Cons

  • Don’t use it
  • It will miss up your notes and then if you want to remove it, it will become burden to do it correctly.
  • Plugins: Make.md, Quiet Outline, Open Gate, GCal
  • I tried Make.md, YouTube videos and more stuff, but it doesn’t seem to work.
  • Make.md felt to me like someone had thrown fifty different ideas into one plug-in to the point where it was inexplicable and bloated — and would take me more time to configure than it would save me to use.

As for Make.md, I tried it a few times but I bounced off it super hard. It’s not as intuitive as bases nor as fun as Dataview.

The issue were the bugs and the number of changes that make.md introduced. Too many things or nothing...

I think make.md does not have that much traction because the experience for most users it’s a little janky and unreliable. that’s a heavy plugin. I did use make.md for a while when I first started using obsidian, but I had some frequent bugs and it was just a bit annoying to have to fix things.
