This post describes the process of integrating Obsidian into a personal blog and managing changes using Working Copy, a Git Client App, in an iOS environment.

Problem

• I wanted to create a single source of truth. I wanted to store all the content I produce, including blog posts, in one place.
• I also wanted to use it on mobile. However, synchronization through iCloud had terrible usability. When I put the Obsidian Vault in iCloud, it resulted in significant delays and freezing issues.

Solution Process

• I used my personal website (an Astro project) as the Obsidian Vault. In Obsidian, I used the Space feature of the Make.md plugin to view only the necessary directories.
• To use Obsidian on mobile, I used the Working Copy App as a sync tool instead of iCloud.
