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.

Doing a quick look at their homepage and pricing pages I don't think it's communicating it's value proposition well... Or I just don't understand this use case. Am I missing something?

Is there more to this than syncing notes across devices and (optionally) hosting them on a web page? Maybe 'notes' isn't the best term, but that's the term the site uses ... Does seem to include markdownish support? And if you pay $96/year you get a node graphic layout option?

Aww man, I just paid for one out of my pocket just few weeks ago, after procrastinating for months. I use Obsidian for taking notes on my work laptop. I think I'm the only one at work who uses Obsidian, and everyone else at work use OneNote or just plain text or something else. Anyway, I hope Obsidian continues to thrive, as it was the only note app that was good enough to make me switch from vim (and onenote and nvalt). I feel it is the only note app that really understands its users, and it shames all other commercial note apps.
