Interesting that storing images is not something solved yet. If you watch the animated gif, he is still using a third party service to store that graph. I also think people to tend to like Markdown mostly because it’s plain text. The added benefits of that preview view is minimal. Like my gut feeling Markdown is popular 90% because of it’s in an accepted way to do plaintext and only 10% for the added formatting.
In relative terms you may be right... but subjectively, having grown accustomed to Obsidian's live view in editor mode, I'd have a hard time giving it up.

Yep fair point. I'm doing the project in chucks and writing about it. his written part notably unlocks the ability to use my phone.

I really don't want to critisize OP since building stuff for yourself is always a good mentality. But lets be realistic, 1000$ over 10 years is nothing. It will always cost more if you consider your own time for maintenance long term. Obsidian is one of the most consumer friendly business for note taking out of there, they are not VC so the Evernote comparison is unwarranted IMO.
I think the author point still stands though: Obsidian won’t probably be here in 20 years.
Couldn’t avoid the computation panic of 2038 but it got by

> Obsidian charges $8 a month to access the same notes across multiple devices. It's $4 actually, for the normal plan that works perfectly well for most use cases. It's also end to end encrypted, which is great. And it's not just about syncing for me, it's about a backup solution for the notes. > I started to have concerns about the longevity of the plugins and app itself. Some of you may remember when Evernote aggre…

As we’ve seen before, it takes one VC investment to change a source available license into something not so friendly and forks are never guaranteed.
