Why isn't obsidian open source again?
@Tangent5280 @nodimetotie That’s been asked and the devs have answered a gazillion times. Search the #Obsidian Forum or the Discord.
They’ve already heard all the reasons people think they should and you’re unlikely to come up with anything new that would make them change their minds, so your best options are to either make your peace with it or find an open source alternative.
Thanks for the reply. I've found my own workflow using open source alternatives, but I used to use Obsidian too, a while back. I find myself looking back wistfully at all the things I loved about it, the QoL differences that I can't justify switching over for.
@Tangent5280 What did you end up using?
I use logseq for the most part - I have multiple graphs for each domain I'm interested in. I've learned with time the way that I should structure my graphs to make the most sense, the best ways to actually use the stuff that logseq offers and stuff. And it didn't take that long either, I've only done this for the last couple months. It's open source and passes under enough eyes for me to be comfortable with it.
That's pretty much everything I can think about off the top of my head. Sorry for the wall of text.
What's your new work flow? Always interested to see alternatives And if they're open source could maybe be polished up a bit
I've put up a wall of text in this thread to another comment. Let me know if you have suggestions for improvements.
We need to know
Money is probably also a factor. They need to make money out of it. Although it seems that they are not super anal about it like some big companies. When someone kind of reverse engineered sync kepano just said cool, just don’t call it sync. Very chill
