If you like the product, but are not interested in paying for sync or publish, consider buying the one-time $25 "Catalyst" license just to support development.
They have "Multiplayer" on their current roadmap [0]. I assume this is to help reduce friction in getting their Sync offering for teams.<p>I personally like the move a lot and I hope this works well for them. The model of selling their add-on services seems to have worked for them well so far, and I hope it continues. It's a very functional free core with their paid add-ons being very additive and well made.<p>[0] <a href="https://obsidian.md/roadmap/" rel="nofollow">https://obsidian.md/roadmap/</a>
Excellent development! I saw first Obsidian years ago but my main use case would have been for myself at work and I wasn't willing to battle the bureaucratic hoops at my job to try a product I wasn't sure I'd actually stick with long term (like my attempts with logseq). Ended up not even trying it on a personal level. Looking forward to seeing how it goes and who knows maybe I'll end up stick with it and battle to contribute some funds.
As someone paying personally for a commercial license that I use for work, I am not a fan. I like a clear business model otherwise I assume that I am the product being sold.<p>Edit: They should make it open source if this is the path they take. Then users can personally verify that they (or their data) isn't being sold to the highest bidder.
The commercial license used to be de-facto optional, now it is explicitly so. Good for them to officially acknowledge that reality. I bet they realized that payment was never enforceable, so it just didn't make sense to keep up the fiction.
I feel like the Obsidian Publish pricing model is a bit off. Having it "per site" feels like nickel-and-diming for small things that's kept me on Notion for a lot of miscellaneous web-published projects. It would be more appealing for at least me if it was something with a higher flat rate that then doesn't care about the exact divisions between your projects.
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.<p><a href="https://github.com/silvanocerza/obsidian-github-sync">https://github.com/silvanocerza/obsidian-github-sync</a><p>Feedback is more than welcome.
How do the use-cases for Obsidian differ from Zotero?<p>* <a href="https://www.zotero.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.zotero.org</a>
anyone have any good tips or plugins so that I can have browser plugins on all my devices and save web pages from multiple devices to it? It's basically the only reason I still use Notion. (As a former emacs guy, I like a lot about Obsidian, most of the plug-in ecosystem, including it saving my data as just text.)
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.<p>Do the make any kind of promises wrt the free tier?
