You're prob not violating ToS since you're not doing it for commercial use, and you're actually reinventing the wheel as a couple of options for that are already available as community plugins. I've been using Remote-save for a while with a almost free private S3 bucket and encryption to sync between my computers and phone for a while. https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save It supports more than just S3 (as i…
If Obsidian stops acheong08, I'm done with Obsidian. I want a durable way to edit, sync, and preserve my notes, not just a pretty interface. I'm happy to pay Obsidian for sync, but if they PM this to only one distribution channel and subsequently enshittify it, I don't want it. Stopping acheong08 would be a bad signal forewarning what's to come.
What is it that people love about Obsidian? (not trying to throw shade, genuine question as I never understood the hype) Obsidian is not able to open a local folder on my machine stored in Windows Subsystem for Linux, which for me makes it a non-starter (my personal knowledge base is stored there). I personally prefer the Notion UI but hate being locked into their cloud, so I created an offline-first Notion alternati…

I had seen similar comments in the past, and it just made me like Obsidian even more.
I've been using Obsidian for a few months now and loving it, and I had been meaning to find a way to support them financially in their endeavors. They share the same values that I do about the longevity of my notes :) I just purchased a Catalyst license.
(Obsidian CEO here) Impressive! It's fun to see the diversity of ways people sync/backup their Obsidian files.

Syncthing actually works pretty well when you have a tool that automatically resolves sync conflicts: https://discuss.logseq.com/t/automatically-merge-syncthing-c...
FWIW - the sync service provided by Obsidian is really worth paying for. Dropbox / Github just aren't as slick and integrated. The mobile app doesn't work without sync (not without some really nasty workarounds), the option to "view sync version history", the fact that it's rock solid... all worth paying for IMO.
You simply synchronize the folder as with the desktop apps. Works right of the box without any workarounds.

That's about 1 year of tuition in NA; OP is probably saving it for that

I wish Obsidian had a better outliner mode/plugin so I could switch to it from Logseq, but I just love the outliner/block mode too much.
