alt Hacker NewsDoing 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?

For me, the value proposition is twofold:
- the multidevice sync allows me to write both as an impulse (on my phone) and structurally (on my computer)
- I derive value from Obsidian. It is genuinely very good. I want this company to have a decent survival chance.
I don't actually use Obsidian's syncing feature or web publishing.
I use Obsidian to write and manage large collections of linked notes, like a personal Wiki; only I don't need to host a wiki somewhere, and the files are just plain text files. It's become one of my killer apps, one where I manage all of my background notes for the projects I work on. It suits the way I think, and I find it more useful and more friendly than other apps of its type.
really good markdown editor, overwhelming amount of community plugins, all data's local and stored in plaintext. app itself is free, easy syncing option is the $4/month (with afew other nice to haves) though there are ways to do it for free (syncthing, but that's changing with the ST team not supporting andriod anymore and apple is weird too).
I've now been using it for ~3 years and I do everything in it. wonderful, wondeful tool
logseq is open source, free, markdown editor, support many plugins and it's actually really fast.
It's just a really really good markdown editor. With some great power user features. Not sure what else to say!
