I am not really comfortable relying on a tool that has a free tier and a subscription. I really like the app, but I will never again have the rugged pulled out under me with a quadrupling of license costs. Do the make any kind of promises wrt the free tier?
What does it matter if the data is portable? https://help.obsidian.md/import Promises aren't ironclad anyhow.

At its core, it’s just a text editor. You don’t need any subscription. It’s Local-first, uses Markdown, and if you want to sync or publish, there’s plenty of other tools for that purpose that don’t require an account, like Syncthing or Github Pages.
Obsidian is great, because it is not like other apps. Using it daily will mean moving to another app will be some work.
Shameless plug, I'm working on a plugin to sync your vault with a GitHub repo. It's still under active development but it does the job. https://github.com/silvanocerza/obsidian-github-sync Feedback is more than welcome.
How are you differentiating from the other current leaders[1][2]? 1. https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-git 2. https://github.com/kevinmkchin/Obsidian-GitHub-Sync
You don't have the full flexibility of a git repo but you can use it easily on different platforms. Works the same way on desktop and mobile too.
Most of those plugins don't work that well on mobile.

I've been using plain git with a git server to sync several machines even though I have to execute a script to do it in each machine. If you see the vault is just the workspace plus markdown files. I didn't know you could add plugins to obsidian. This is interesting. I do wonder if this can be added to mobile - Android/iOS.
It uses the GitHub APIs to sync, so it works seamlessly on desktop and mobile. I'm actively using it both on my Mac, Windows machine and iPhone with no issues.
Didn't try on Android but I expect it work fine.

How is this different from the widely used https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-git ?
This way it works both on desktop and mobile with no issues, cause you don't need git.

Main difference is that I don't use Git, but GitHub API. You don't have the full flexibility of a git repo but you can use it easily on different platforms. Works the same way on desktop and mobile too. Most of those plugins don't work that well on mobile.

The data is local, obsidian is just a markdown viewer at it's core. They have sync but that's a paid for product. Their model is selling to large companies and sync users. Not data sales.
> Their model is selling to large companies I'm not sure if that's the case now. Why would companies pay for licenses when they're optional and don't give any features?
