@rjbandicoot @a_siebel This service is not just a MD editor. Therefore, you'll ignoring your lock in situation. I've time and I'll read about people losing years of effort in a few years. Trust me. BTDT. 😉 The alternative I was proposing has all the features of Obsidian and MUCH more. So, you'd actually gain tons of stuff as long as you're not afraid of learning. 🤷 6 comments

@publicvoit @rjbandicoot Sorry - I love markdown and won't switch to another format. Apart from that: All the features I use in Obsidian exist in a similar way either in other Markdown readers OR I can implement them myself. That is why I am absolutely relaxed about potential changes to the Obsidian licence model.

@a_siebel @publicvoit @rjbandicoot Yeah, this argument is definitely disingenuous. What exactly would I lose if I deleted Obsidian today? What is locked in. Nothing.

@publicvoit @a_siebel emacs on my iphone? I think you're missing the point ;-) Plus I push all my Obsidian files to git. Cause its all just text. In fact sometimes I even quickly dip back into vim with 'em. Never afraid to learn, & #obsidian is a wonderful combination of features with no draw backs. Love it. Love text, love md (because its text), & I love being able to integrate iOS shortcuts into this gorgeous mix. I also love vim (& can understand why you like emacs)

@publicvoit @rjbandicoot @a_siebel Sure, but #obsidian is much more approachable for average users than #emacs #orgmode. Which isn't to say one is "better" than the other globally. But, better for some use-cases. And, you're not wrong. If Obsidian were to go away, I *would* loose a lot of cool tooling. But my *data* is safe on my devices.

@x1101 @publicvoit @rjbandicoot @a_siebel #orgmode and #obsidianmd can easily coexist. I use both in parallel for different tasks. |

@rjbandicoot @a_siebel Notice, I've never said that Obsidian doesn't provide a good service. OneNote and Evernote did as well. For short-term use, this is perfectly well.
I just have different priorites (long-term aspects) and try to avoid migration cost for other people who don't have the experience I had to learn (through failing myself).
HTH YMMV You've been warned - after all, it's your time and data 😜
Besides: MD is such an awful syntax: https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/
