It’s an opportunity to correct every poster who states one way or another! 😅

BTW Check out the work of others, maybe you could salvage few things for your project as well

obsidian’s format is well documented and well understood. There are dozens of FOSS plugins and tools for converting or directly importing obsidian data to nearly every other solution. Due to obsidian’s popularity, it’s interoperability this way is often far superior to FOSS solutions’.

To reiterate this claim: just because Erica gave Shida enough time to document his work in the open, she is entitled to exploit foss contributors for profit. Is that your point here?

Also not only she can exploit foss contributors when it suits her, she also can remove their work from the ecosystem whenever momentum for acquisition is ripe. Do you think it’s false?

If Erica doesn’t pay you to write these comments, does it feel morally right to you defending these capitalist practices?

So to reiterate, you’ve just stated that all the following[^1] doesn’t need to be exported

• links to attachments,
• modification dates,
• internal links to your other notes (Obsidian doesn’t even follow markdown standard here, so just say goodbye to it)
• titles,
• tags,
• folder structure

How about you just delete this metadata then? if in case of outage/transition to other notetaker it’s going to be lost anyway, why you even need it, right?

c’mon, mate. I can feel you’re smarter than this

[^1] This is called “front matter” format btw and all responsible usercentric notetakers offer an export of your metadata to it. But Obsidian is not one of them

sorry mate, I can’t get what you’re alluding to. Pls state your position clearer

So you’re telling me that software which doesn’t have official export stores my notes metadata in proprietary database format?

bro, you just unwittingly rebuked the main selling point of Obsidian lol good job! I should take a note of it next time lol

Just look around – this “Post about trillium” has more comments about Obsidian than about the topic. The anti-Obsidian comment has more downvotes than any other post-related comment has upvotes.

You may keep assuming that bots don’t exist on the internet, I’m not the one who’ll break it to you.

To those who came here just to shill obsidian for some reason (drop me a dm! I also wanna get paid for my comments!) and say “it’s critical to have my notes in local files”:

Once user reaches few thousands of notes, non-db based software (Obsidian) will slow down to the point of being unusable. There’s no workaround to this, since the bottleneck is storage speed
