What are the advantages of this over, say, Obsidian?

Lowercase really shines when you want to take notes free-form and then be able to share those notes out into the world. You can easily make a note public & even cooler than that you can turn a lowercase note into a presentation with just a few clicks.
Here's an old example I pulled up -> https://www.lowercase.app/@matt/p/1f6c83d5-2869-4024-a687-fc...
In my editor I was able to just group parts of my note into logical slide sections and then publish.
Edit: you can move through the slide show with your left and right arrows.

Can I export or host the data myself?
For work sensitive notes I can’t/won’t use an untrusted sync mechanism.

Totally a fair use-case and request!
Right now we don't have support for a local storage mechanism or self-hosting. We are extremely keen on privacy and are very open to working towards either of those two options.

Two questions:
1. Doesn't seem like there's support for latex-style math? (Or, at least couldn't find it in the documentation and putting an equation between $$ doesn't seem to work). Is this planned?
2. Is there a way to export your notes?

other co-founder here:
1. Currently there isn't support, but not opposed if there is a need. 2. Also, there isn't a way to export (or self host) as of now.
Just some background - We originally built this out as a standalone desktop app (~4 years ago) and then re-worked it for the web around the same time. We were planning to eventually rewrite the desktop app for just that reason - to have the offline syncing and cleaner export UX.
