Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app. Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing that comes with all my devices for free (Apple Notes, Google Keep) is a great business opportunity? I can’t seem to wrap my mind around this.

Neither of those apps do markdown, which I NEED, so I pay for a markdown note app

In the past year I've been on a journey of note-taking / personal knowledgebase: - Trillium Notes [0] - Joplin [1] - others I can't remember - Obsidian [2] - Emacs/org-mode - Logseq [3] - and now back to Obsidian again Logseq was really promising in concept - pulls a lot of cool concepts in from the others and supports org files. But I found it to be incredibly slow and laggy with my existing mixed org/markdown files…
Thanks for the plugin tips. I also really like Admonition[1] to make styled blocks to format notes. Sliding panes(Andy Matushcak Mode)[2] makes the experience just more natural than windows that need to be resized, etc when switching context. Found Admonition when learning about Zettelkasten via an efficient video by Artem Kirsanov[3]. Within 17 mins I got the system better than the scary 4 hour overkill vids out the…
And I'll check out sliding panes. It's fun for browsing Andy's website, but was skeptical I'd like it in my own Obsidian instance.
From the features page: > On Supernotes your data is always encrypted in transit (forced SSL) and encrypted at rest (AES-256). Our team will never read or access your note content, unless we have received your express permission during a customer support interaction. Sorry, but the fact that you can read it makes this a no-go for me. Unless a note-taking solution offers end-to-end encryption, I don't consider it a sa…
We've been toying with some ideas that would allow more technical users to take matters into their own hands and take on the responsibility of managing their private keys themselves, but that isn't quite ready yet.

What is the advantage of Markdown over rich text without extra characters?

Because note-taking experience is subjective, and there are no solution which fits everyones taste and purpose.

It depends on your expectations - do you assume that the software will be maintained indefinitely with security fixes, bug fixes, features, etc?
I would expect any software to come with security fixes, and bug fixes, even after purchase, even when I don't pay for a recurring fee.
So let me get this straight. You expect to pay for anything that naturally requires maintenance just once and then expect an unlimited amount of maintenance (i.e. cost for that provider) in perpetuity? Think about that for a second and then explain to me why any business would ever offer such a thing.
Just to be clear - there are endless amounts of software providers who support perpetual licenses but they either have annual maintenance contacts or support cycles tied to version support. In either case, you essentially are paying a recurring fee whether you like it or not.
My constructive feedback is solely the cost. I get that the servers are expensive and I actually do prefer to pay rather than worry that the lights of my note-taking app might go out some day. But $8 per month is far too steep. For $1 per month I'd sign up and feel like I'm getting a bargain, and tell my friends. For $2 per month I'd seriously consider signing up but it's not a given. Any more than that, and I can't really consider the app.
This looks great, but I'm getting very sick of software with recurring monthly fees. I get that it's more profitable for companies, and maybe I'm being a curmudgeon, but what happened to software you could actually buy once and then use forever?
However, $8 monthly for a notes-taking app? I'm sticking with Org-mode and Evil. I'd consider it for $1 - $2 per month, but $8 is monthly is actually more than I pay Jetbrains. For a note-taking app.

I haven't used obsidian, but have been using Logseq [1] (which a lot of people have mentioned to be similar) for over a year now and super happy with it. The data is stored locally as md files, can be versioned using git which is a big plus for me. Also the workflowy-inspired zoomable bullet list is great to have for large outlines. With the built in support for tags, image pasting, tasks, journaling, templates and s…
