    It would be imo worse if the information just gets lost once 23andMe shuts down. Make genome and health information open access.

    If it feels hard to reason on, it might be a hint... Sales people provide value. Maybe a sales person would have told this project to focus on being an alternative to Notion or Goo…

    Obsidian is on a fundamental level a very different app to Notion (you already mentioned the web app, databases, ...). It is also not even close to being "hackable to the core", it…

    Some comments below someone claimed the opposite... do you have any studies?
