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 &quot;Multiplayer&quot; 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&#x27;s a very functional free core with their paid add-ons being very additive and well made.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsidian.md&#x2F;roadmap&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsidian.md&#x2F;roadmap&#x2F;</a>

Excellent development! I saw first Obsidian years ago but my main use case would have been for myself at work and I wasn&#x27;t willing to battle the bureaucratic hoops at my job to try a product I wasn&#x27;t sure I&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;t being sold to the highest bidder.

Can you use something like iCloud, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive to get sync for free? Does it work well?<p>Many do that with Joplin.

I hope this doesn&#x27;t destroy their financing. I would hate to see them go down, it&#x27;s a wonderful piece of software.

I wonder if this is a prelude to make obsidian open-source. Would be pretty great.

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&#x27;t make sense to keep up the fiction.

I feel like the Obsidian Publish pricing model is a bit off. Having it &quot;per site&quot; feels like nickel-and-diming for small things that&#x27;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&#x27;t care about the exact divisions between your projects.

This is a good change. Most people using it at work do it individually and don’t pay. But they do potentially pay for sync services.

Shameless plug, I&#x27;m working on a plugin to sync your vault with a GitHub repo. It&#x27;s still under active development but it does the job.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;silvanocerza&#x2F;obsidian-github-sync">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;silvanocerza&#x2F;obsidian-github-sync</a><p>Feedback is more than welcome.

This is awesome news for the community. With a built-in multiplayer mode, it would be epic.

How do the use-cases for Obsidian differ from Zotero?<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zotero.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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&#x27;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?
