Obsidian is awesome. It won’t meet everyone’s needs, but I love the lightweight simplicity of it. But it’s also extremely extensible with add-ons if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.

100% agree. I personally haven’t got a use case that fits very well with it (maybe someday when I build a Zettelkasten), but I can see why the community loves it so much. Open source and a great library of plugins.

Except that it isn’t open source

Huh, I stand corrected. I’ll update my comment.

Is that very hard to do? Right click, save as html. Does obsidian only save references to files outside the vaults? I thought it made a copy of external files inside the vault too.

It’s simple. The people using Evernote didn’t care about being locked in.

Same shit will happen to all those people building their shit on the back of Discord.
At some point all the people who paid for it will want to see some returns, and suddenly it’s costing you $30 a month to access your own content.
