Obsidian is not open-source?
I just found out that Obsidian, the notetaking app, is not open source. I do not have a problem as I am already using tons of apps that are not open source, but to be honest, I always thought that Obsidian was a open source app.
I found out from this tweet, where the OP also thought it was open source until he found out.
I have used Obsidian for a long time, not so much recently, but still have installed on my computer and occasionally use it. As of now, I have started using the VS Code directly for taking plain-text notes and it's working fine for me.
Actually, the idea here is, I want to take notes which are:
- no proprietary format
- no vendor lock-in
- should be accessible by any apps
- can be opened for decades to come
- should be full-text searchable
- should take less disk space
- freedom to backup at multiple locations
Yes, I would definitely want these features from my notetaking app. And my current VS Code setup is giving me the flexibility to do all that.
So... I am all set.
