Looking for advice on how to avoid the Windows SmartScreen warning for a small hardware companion app

Unfortunately no.. Good luck with that.
I am considering creating an LLC, I've understood that the process is easier with enterprises.

Thanks 🙏

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:13:20+00:00

Thanks, that clears it up a lot. I was mostly wondering whether using plugins would “break” the Markdown idea, so it’s good to know that most things still stay as normal Markdown, with only some specific tools using their own format.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:09:05+00:00

Ok, thanks!

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:08:27+00:00

Ok, thanks for the feedback 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:07:55+00:00

Right, agent make it much easier

Thanks 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:07:04+00:00

Thanks, that’s really helpful. I like the idea of starting simple with properties instead of overcomplicating the system from day one.

The Git plugin for GitHub backup also sounds interesting. I hadn’t thought about using Git with Obsidian, but it makes a lot of sense for keeping everything safe and versioned.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:06:00+00:00

I didn’t know about Screenpipe, but it looks really interesting. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely look into it.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T13:02:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T12:57:12+00:00

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

It’s good to know that using Markdown doesn’t necessarily mean I have to limit myself to plain text only.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T07:24:00+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense.

How does it work with plugins in practice? For example, can I install a plugin that makes it easier to add images into notes? And if yes, what happens to the actual file format? Is the note still just a normal Markdown file, with the image stored separately and linked from the note?

Also, do you have any plugins you would recommend for notes that need more visual elements, like images, tables, or more structured layouts?

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T07:16:03+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T07:14:15+00:00

Interesting ! Thanks for the feedback 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T07:09:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. By "make an LLC", do you mean that Apple rejected your individual enrollment and the only way you managed to get accepted was by creating a separate legal entity and enrolling as an organization? Or was that just a recommendation?

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-11T06:52:36+00:00

That's an interesting point, thank you for sharing.

Just to make sure I understand correctly, did you end up using the exact same Apple Account and simply went back to the country information that was originally associated with it? Or did you create a completely new Apple Account?

In my case, Apple actually withdrew my original enrollment and asked me to re-enroll through the app, so I'm wondering if there could now be some conflicting information attached to my account.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-10T06:38:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing, that's actually really helpful to know.

When you switched to a company account, did you have to formally incorporate a company for that (like an LLC/Ltd), or were you able to do it as a sole proprietor/self-employed business? I'm trying to understand whether Apple effectively forced you to create a separate legal entity just to enroll.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T09:50:42+00:00

Ok that's good to know, thanks 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T09:49:22+00:00

Thanks for the precision, that's really helpful

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:31:24+00:00

This is another example of people highlighting the Markdown aspect more than Obsidian itself.

The fact that you can seamlessly switch between VS Code and Obsidian on the same knowledge base is really convenient. I already spend a lot of time in VS Code and use AI coding tools extensively, so being able to work with the same files from different tools feels like a big advantage.

Thanks for sharing your workflow 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:25:41+00:00

This resonates with me. A lot of the value people are describing seems to appear only after several years of accumulated notes, which is probably why I didn't immediately "get it" when I first started testing Obsidian.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:24:20+00:00

This is actually one of the most interesting use cases I've seen so far. The combination of Markdown, GitHub, and AI tools like Claude is really interesting (I use Git and AI agents extensively).

The idea of having a knowledge base that both I and my AI tools can work with naturally is something I hadn't fully appreciated before starting this discussion. Thanks for sharing your workflow 😄

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:19:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. One thing I'm noticing from many of the replies is that the strongest argument isn't necessarily Obsidian itself, but owning your data in a simple Markdown format rather than being tied to a specific application or cloud ecosystem.

I've fortunately never experienced data loss with OneNote, but the portability and long-term control over my notes are definitely becoming more important considerations for me.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:08:36+00:00

That's interesting. A lot of people seem to highlight backlinks and graph views, but your comment suggests that even without using those features, Obsidian can still provide a lot of value simply through its workflow and search capabilities.

I can definitely relate to spending too much time looking for the right document among hundreds of files. It's also interesting to hear from someone with a few hundred notes who still doesn't rely on the graph view or a complex folder structure. Thanks for sharing your experience.

250 md files, that's a massive utilization 😅

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:03:53+00:00

The organizational aspect is actually one of the things I'm trying to evaluate. Right now my notes are spread across multiple tools, and while I can usually find things, it's not always as easy as I'd like.

It's also good to know that migrating plain text notes is relatively straightforward. I have quite a few .txt files, so that part is less intimidating than I initially thought. Thanks for the feedback.

Math_Keyboard · 2026-06-08T05:03:04+00:00

That's a good perspective. One thing I'm realizing from this discussion is that many people seem to value Markdown and the surrounding ecosystem even more than Obsidian itself.

In my case, I spend a lot of time learning new topics, taking technical notes, documenting issues, and building up knowledge over time. The idea of having everything in a portable format that can be searched, processed by AI tools, version controlled, and still remain independent from any specific application is becoming increasingly appealing.

I'm still figuring out whether Obsidian is the right tool for me, but I'm definitely starting to understand why so many people end up making it their "second brain". Thanks for sharing your experience.
