(Obsidian CEO here) Impressive! It's fun to see the diversity of ways people sync/backup their Obsidian files. The nice thing about storing all your notes on your device is that it makes it possible to move and edit your Markdown files in many different ways. That diversity of solutions is what makes the ecosystem of Markdown tools resilient over the long term. There are already a handful of tools that allow you to s…

i use https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync and self-host a couchdb instance for it... this looks like it might be a bit cleaner once it's all fleshed out...
Only issue is i could not sync with an old iphone running iOS 12.

Yep; I switched from Obsidian to Logseq because Logseq works the way I always wanted to take notes. They are both great tools, even if Logseq lacks some in the polish department (and honestly, it's pretty good).
I really wish Logseq had better/more plugins, a less janky sync option, and publish. Maybe it'll get there, but I kinda doubt it. I've toyed with creating a plugin for neovim that parses Logseq formatted markdown and gives me a similar experience, but it would be a lot of work.

Yeah I can think of 30 different ways to make the sync work, but I can't be bothered to, Sync works really well, and I feel like financially supporting the Obsidian team in some way. $8/month is a bit steep, but I snatched $5/month early bird pricing and I consider that to be a lot more acceptable of a price. Edit: worth pointing out there's a 40% discount for non-profits and students: https://help.obsidian.md/Licens…
It kind of boggles my mind when people say 8$/month is steep. I get that we don't all live in rich countries, but still. If you are using a tool everyday this is really not much. I think we have been conditioned to expect software to be free. Maybe because there is nothing tangible? It's also hard to do micro payments on the internet ironically, on that 8$ you can easily pay almost a dollar of fees. If that wasnt the…
What I've long been looking for is a sync service that handles syncing these directories of markdown, but then provides value added HTTP APIs on top of them. I can sync my markdown files from place to place with ease, but what I really want is the ability to POST myserver.com/newpage and have it artificially inject a new Markdown file at the path I request. This could be system agnostic, Obsidian, Logseq, and tons of…
So you want WebDAV support?
I've been using the main Obsidian git extension, https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git . Took some work to set it up ergnonomically but it works great now. I enabled auto-commit and push on save, and auto-pull when you start the editor. No merge conflicts yet between two machines. Should note I use Obsidian for a journal, so it's pretty much append-only.
