> 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.
Low-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 la…
> something like Obsidian-but-freeish I'm confused. Obsidian itself is free. You can choose to pay for their sync service if you need it, but there are alternatives for that that don't cost extra.

(co-founder) 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.
I went through a bunch of note-taking apps before I settled on a git directory that's auto-synced once an hour. This bash script is all it takes. cd ~/notes if [[ ''$(git status --porcelain) ]]; then git stash save git pull --rebase git stash pop || true git add . git -c "user.name=Phil Kulak" -c "user.email=nope@kulak.us" commit -m "''$(date)" git push origin main else git pull fi
And sensible merge conflict resolution vs normal cloud saves.

Yeah, every year or so I get a merge conflict, and then the whole things stops syncing and it takes me a week to notice before I go in and resolve it. It's not perfect, but I can't be assed to fix something that happens once a year. :/
Best of luck to you all!

If you take notes for work or for a side project that makes money you have to pay.
I don't mind paying because it's worth it.
Nit Pick feedback: it should read: “the right _number_ of features”, not “_amount_ of features”. Other than that, love the look of the site :)
I know grammatically it isn't the most correct, but I don't see anything non-idiomatic about "amount of features".
Reason: "Just the right amount" is a set, idiomatic expression. "Just the right amount of ___" is just extending the expression. IMO extending idiomatic expressions exempts it from a lot of the formal word-pairing conventions in English.
But I'm no linguist.
