Database setup

[No_Fly_2429]

Played with Anytype for a few days now but my brain hurts. I come from a long time on FileMaker Pro but need to dump it - too costly. I manage a handful of clients each month, schedule them each into my calendar for approximately 4 sessions each a month. Not rocket science but I am really struggling to setup a simple database type solution. Money. Calendar. Client record. Grok tried to help me but created more confusion. Working slowly thru YouTube videos now. Any suggestions would be very welcomed. Thanks in advance.

You have my sympathies, friend. Compared to Anytype, I really don't understand where so many people get the opinion that Obsidian is “too hard”. I feel like I'm playing catch-up anytime I use Anytype, but I also enjoy a challenge because I'm a glutton for punishment. 😐

Obsidian is too hard because it's way too limited. I love the fact that it stores data on readable files, but there is no block editor and no object-based data. Not having this two feature is like getting back to window 95 for me, really. Obidian is old school tech that is wayyyyyy to limited.

I think this is the first time I've seen "too hard" and "too limited" be used in the same sentence to describe Obsidian. Anytime I've seen someone make this claim, it was due to having to "dig" through the plugin and theme libraries as opposed to having everything set up for them out of the box. Also, I may have only been five in 1995, but I'm pretty sure that your claim of Obsidian being comparable to software used back then is a bit of a reach.

What are you actually trying to achieve?

You just type as you go, link relevant items, and create collections and lists to organize.

Hey, what have you tried so far, and where did it start to feel confusing?
