I use Obsidian for different purposes:

  • my digital garden, handled via a plugin and GitHub
  • technical writing: I work as a tech writer so I use Obsidian for research and to review my writing against a number of frameworks and style guides
  • create presentations: nothing spiffy, mainly using the built-in presentation functionality
  • note-taking in meetings: I take notes of everything, from screenshots to screencasts to audio. Everything is searchable through the Omnisearch plugin

I also use more than one vault:

  • cooking recipes (read-only, used for reference, contains all recipes from Paprika, a recipe app)
  • Microsoft Writing Style Guide (read-only, used for reference, synced from the official Microsoft GitHub repo)
  • Tasks and everything synced from Readwise; I read and review books mainly for publishers so it's super handy to keep book notes and when to publish what in the same space
  • dumps from projects with a lot of text that allows me to use the vault as a kind of database
