I like Obsidian, but I have 2 problems with Obsidian, 1) it is not open source. One day, it will turn Microsoft or Adobe. By then, I would have tens of thousand if notes. I don't want to be in the dilemma. 2) it' iOS version, con't synch with WebDAV. I don't want it to be tied down with iCloud when I have over 5GB vault size. I have 1 problem with logseq, 1) i can't comprehend logseq, I feel like I do not have full control.
Obsidian is not open-source, but all the notes you take are in a format that can be read by any software! So you still have a pretty good control over your data.
@@FlorentChardevel, but those are md file. I may still in control of the content, but layout, links, connection, every style will mostly lost or mismatched with other software.
@@esphilee markdown (.md files) is its own established standard. the styling is just css, another standard. for inter-note linking, there are already other programmes and editor plugins that can do this
@@esphileebut you can wrote your own software to parse those files because the links and connections are not lost. They are literally in your MD files. You just have to correctly read them with a program
While I won't ask you to build your own program to process your own notes, the fact still is, that Obsidian is just a folder of notes and other folders. It's like a collection of text files that can handle more formatting than a simple txt file. Good news is: 1- you can own and control what happens to your files 2- you can use other software to read and process these notes So if you're worried about losing your notes, it won't happen. If you're worried about not being able to write, read, search through notes, you can always do that (even without the obsidian app). If you're worried about styling that goes past the .md standard... then when the app gets toxic like adobe, i'm sure someone will be happy to build something to replace it since you have your notes, and the styling and formatting both standard.
