A student can't afford to pay the $8 per month for #Obsidian sync, so builds a #FOSS alternative. Then posts to HN and says "I probably violate ToS, so will take down the repo if asked".
Then the Obsidian CEO replies. Explains they aren't VC-funded and the $8 bucks subscription keeps the light on. Applauds the work of the student, points to other open ways that content sync can be handled and gives advice "if you rename, there's no ToS problem". 👍
We make #Obsidian so that we can capture our own private thoughts and ideas. Independent audits help us ensure that our code and procedures meet the highest security standards. We will continue working with industry-leading security firms on more audits that provide comprehensive coverage and transparency towards this commitment.
I have just discovered feedle - a search engine for RSS feeds. Look for what’s interesting to you. My search for #Obsidian information led me here. https://feedle.world
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
Oral history of #RapaNui (Easter Island 🗿) suggests at least one voyage to #SouthAmerica from the island during early years of its settlement - now analyses of #Obsidian blades with food traces seem to confirm this:
A Pattern Language is one of my favorite books, and this abridged hypertext version by zenodotus280 is incredibly fun to explore with #obsidian
The book explores humanism in design patterns at every scale from the layout of cities down to how you should choose chairs
zendotus280 did the hard work of linking patterns to each other which makes it possible to easily traverse the text across many more dimensions than you can flipping pages
🚀 I'm happy and proud to launch Actions for Obsidian on iOS!
After several months of work, hundreds of hours of cumulative testing in TestFlight ✊🏼, a ton of customer feedback 🙏🏼, and several reviews by Apple we're finally here ✨
I'd be delighted if you'd check out its ~40 #ShortcutsApp actions for #Obsidian and see if & how it might fit into your #PKM life on #iOS and #macOS.
I write a lot of notes in #Obsidian (@obsidian) where I mention fediverse handles in the @username@domain.tld format.
I always want to link it to their profile so I manually change it to @username@domain.tld (or whatever the form of url the software they are using is) I feel like there should be a simple way to solve this with an Obsidian plugin that resolves #WebFinger names or maybe some RegEx userscript macro would be easier? Anyone have a solution to my silly problem?
I updated the #obsidian Web Clipper for properties in 1.4. It also now tries to be more clever about finding the author and published date of an article.
