Same with : non-VC, your data forever and a level playing field for developers and creatives of all kinds at scale at zero cost to them.

@kepano @obsidian Good on you :) This is why not taking VC is a core principle of

@kepano @obsidian Recently switched to it from Evernote and really loving it!

Also nice hearing the same from @Gargron in his recent interview.

"A VC-backed company usually goes through the stage where everything is great and fantastic, everything is free, and it works great. Then they get enough users for the VCs to get curious about getting a return on the investment. And then suddenly there's ads, there's paid tiers, there's limitations. "

@kepano @obsidian What does VC mean here? All those abbreviations are so ambiguous...

houndstooth,

@kepano @obsidian I love and support this 110%!

@kepano @obsidian That's great.

However, this might as well change any time.

This is why I don't invest money nor effort in lock-in situations, especially with products I want to use for decades, not just months or until the next hype hits the market.

@kepano @obsidian I don't want to be annoying or rude but I cannot tell what Obsidian does from the front page of the website. I know about how to get your Discord but not what the app actually does. I am not seeing anything obvious that links to "What is Obsidian?" or "About" or something like that.

@kepano @obsidian @ilyess take a look (I'm not convincing you)

@kahakai Thanks. Did they ever publish their position on open-sourcing the clients? I’d be interested to read on that.

@kepano @obsidian
While good principles; lots of note taking and creation software is not VC backed.

I checked out a lot of the "new" and honestly, would prefer not just files on a disk; because without software, it's virtually the same thing as notes going away.

@lewiscowles1986 @kepano @obsidian not true. I have made an emacs client for obsidian that can be used instead of the app. You can also use other solutions with these files.

@mykhaylo @kepano @obsidian
In that case, you also have no need for obsidian...

@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@lewiscowles1986 @kepano @obsidian i wrote up about it here in the about section : https://github.com/licht1stein/obsidian.el

And i don’t have a “need” for it, that’s true.
