How long is the promotional pricing for Obsidian Sync intended to last? From what I've seen of Obsidian Mobile, that's probably the smoothest way to synchronize vaults (understandably so), and I'd like to make sure that pricing isn't something I have to rush testing out the mobile version on.
I've used Joplin for a while. It's Markdown so I like it. The UI is dry (compared to Evernote).
So how does this sync exactly? Can I use an iCloud folder, an iOS filesystem provider, or do I need yet another service to have my notes on my desktop as well?

File Provider is something we'll attempt to implement sometimes in the future to support other sync providers.

Apart from that they also offer a sync service. And for the technically minded there is also the obsidian git plug in.

I guess the options will stay limited, as the author wants to sell his commercial sync service.
I've started using Obsidian just yesterday and have been loving it so far. I had to get 1writer to work with it on the go, and now this, problem solved!
It was my only major gripe with the product. Now it's perfect!
It's really really useful when notes about a topic surpass one page, and need good organization.
Has anyone used Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ )? How does it compare to Obsidian? I've used Joplin for a while. It's Markdown so I like it. The UI is dry (compared to Evernote).
In comparison, Joplin keeps its notes in a more opaque format, where the notes database is a bunch of files with garbage filenames and so on... and the UI is, er... functional.
I've been trying to switch away from Obsidian to Joplin though, because Obsidian is payware (with add-on subscription services available too!) and Joplin is simply open source.
I was only willing to try it out because I had heard it mentioned [0] on CGP Grey's cohosted podcast, Cortex, in the episode they did on productivity software subcultures. Specifically I think CGP Grey was saying he didn't "get" Obsidian but had observed a fanatic fanbase around it of people who thought it was god's gift to note-taking because it represented the links between knowledge in a unique way. Apparently I'm one of those people because I went from installing it for the first time to writing all my new thoughts down in it in the space of 3 days.
I suspect the real reason I liked Obsidian right away is that long ago I used Microsoft Onenote as a freeform notetaking app to just spew unrelated thoughts into that I could organize later. Onenote's interface was good, but there was no way to port those notes in an exportable format to a new computer when the one with a Onenote license died.
