"If you want publish them" should probably be "If you want to publish them"
thank you!
Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes

For once, Obsidian publish is quite expensive.
Obsidian publishing costs USD 8 per month. A Starbucks latte in SF costs USD 5.88. I don’t use Obsidian Publish, and I don’t need it. I use the Obsidian app for free, and I don’t need the Sync feature as it works fine with iCloud. If at some point I need the publish feature, I consider the price that is less than two lattes per month a good deal given the zero cost of the app that I used for a long time.
that’s certainly a valid reasoning. someone else may well have an equally valid reason for choosing a different path.

> We decided from the very beginning that we'd never collect or share any user data. Then why not use OAuth?
Wasn't necessary since we weren't intending to share information with another service and felt that the 3rd party requirement could be limiting.
This answer doesn't make sense to me. If anything oauth far better proves you won't be sharing information with other services (you're not collecting logins and accounts). It's more limiting to ask users to sign up to the app.

#34Low-key I have been looking for something like Obsidian-but-freeish to try since a while - I think this is exactly what I searched for. Going to give it a go during the weekend definitely.
On a different note, what's the long term sustainability plan? Relying on donations rarely works... I guess it's not very expensive to host text, but still, its cost is not 0. "Unlimited free forever" is either not free, doesn't last forever, or not unlimited. (Usually the 2nd one)
Also, do you do any (automatic) content filtering? It is very easy to abuse pastebin services

Meaning that we'd be limiting users that don't use the provider(s) that we'd support. At that time, we felt that username/password was the lowest friction at the time. We're happy to re-eval if needed though!

#36Why would I use this, instead of Obsidian (say)?
Obsidian Sync costs money to sync your files between devices. Obsidian Publish also costs money on top of that to publish your notes.
Obsidian has a community plugin called "Remotely Save" that lets you sync your vault via Webdav, S3 (compatible), Dropbox, or OneDrive. It works on all my devices and synchronises my data just fine. You could also use something like Syncthing or any other third party solution that syncs your Yaml directories.

Thanks for the comment and very valid points. When we initially started building we had subscription plans and more of a general revenue model. Over time we transitioned to the donation-based approach. We are open to revisiting the former if there is interest (and feedback) in the existing functionality or newer updates. I definitely understand the concern of "free forever" and open to input.

Obsidian Sync costs money to sync your files between devices. Obsidian Publish also costs money on top of that to publish your notes.
Obsidian runs on local Markdown files so there are many free options you can use for syncing and publishing notes.

#40Nit Pick feedback: it should read: “the right _number_ of features”, not “_amount_ of features”. Other than that, love the look of the site :)
