Ulysses vs Obsidian
Both Ulysses and Obsidian are Markdown plain-text editors, the former catering to professional writers, the latter to note-taking pros.
Ulysses
Ulysses is geared mostly towards professional writers who want a clean and simple tool to create and organize their work. It's a small, Apple-exclusive app with a ton of polish.
Obsidian
Obsidian is mostly known for its powerful note-linking abilities. You can easily build and navigate whole knowledge bases with Obsidian. That said, it's definitely more complicated and less aesthetically pleasing than Ulysses.
