Content

I've long wished for a way to work on notes on Obsidian with other people, and I've tried many different approaches. One of them, Etherpad, I even made a Patreon-only video about last year. But up until now, nothing really scratched that real-time itch. Dropbox was the closest, but that required someone having both Obsidian and Dropbox installed-- not ideal.

Peerdraft is the best solution I've tried. It's really simple, doesn't have a ton of features, but the real-time syncing just works, and works well. While there's a paid tier, there's a free forever plan that is more than generous, and the developer even said that he's not enforcing the limitations right now.

Patreon exclusive video: Full interview with Dominik Schlund (Peerdraft developer)

I added a ~5 min interview with the Peerdraft dev, Dominik, in the main video that got published to my channel, but the full video is actually 30+ minutes long. We got to talk a lot about the infrastructure and security of Peerdraft, other solutions I've tried for collaboration, and some other fun tangents.

Here it is! Please don't share this video with others-- it's for Patreons only. :) Enjoy!

Working with others in Obsidian with Peerdraft

Working with others in Obsidian hasn't always been the easiest task. Obsidian Peerdraft is a new community plugin and accompanying web app that brings real-time collaboration to Obsidian. In this video, I tell you how to use Peerdraft, collaborate with a friend live while using it, and interview the developer of the app and plugin, Dominik Schlund. // LINKS Peerdraft: https://www.peerdraft.app/ Collaborating on a shared vault with Obsidian Sync: https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Sync/Collaborate+on+a+shared+vault My new channel with Leah on TTRPGs: @BeyondtheCharacterSheet Leah Ferguson's YouTube channel: @LeahFerguson Leah Ferguson's site: https://leahferguson.com/ // TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:57 What is Peerdraft? 02:14 How to set up Obsidian Peerdraft 03:48 How to use Peerdraft (with Leah Ferguson) 10:30 Peerdraft editor interface update 12:15 Obsidian Sync vs Peerdraft (with Leah) 15:37 Peerdraft vs Etherpad 16:57 Limitations of Peerdraft 18:24 Interview with the developer of Peerdraft, Dominik Schlund 23:54 Final thoughts on Peerdraft --- // ABOUT ME Site: https://nicolevanderhoeven.com Mastodon: https://pkm.social/@nicole My travel YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/luckydippers k6 YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/k6test // APPS I USE - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md - Readwise: https://readwise.io/nicole - Shortform: https://shortform.com/nicole - Reclaim: https://go.reclaim.ai/eg0tgbamp7cb - Snipd: https://link.snipd.com/Cx7S/nicole - Napkin: https://napkin.one/?via=nicole // GEAR https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/gear/ // WANT TO SUPPORT ME? ❤️ Join my Patreon and get my sample vault with templates: https://patreon.com/nicolevdh ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/nicolevdh Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, which means I may get a small percentage when you sign up using those links.

I didn't, but I just had a quick look. This looks like Obsidian Sync, and I think I'd rather just use Sync in that case. They also store content on their servers, which I'd be a bit nervous about.
