The plan for Obsidian is to never grow beyond 10-12 people, never take VC funding, never collect personal data or analytics.

Continue building with the assumption that software is ephemeral, files matter more than apps. Use formats that are open and durable.

About - Obsidian

Our guiding principles are set in stone: yours, durable, private, malleable, independent.

@kepano @xoofx This is one of the reasons why last month, switching from Evernote, I picked Obsidian with sync subscription over all the alternatives.
So far, I'm also very happy about it as a product. :)

@BartWronski @kepano good to know! I tried it quite some time ago and I think I liked it, but as I was/am using VS Code for editing all my Markdown files, I was not sure I was getting enough added value from Obsidian to switch to it...

But I should probably give it another try!

@xoofx @kepano I probably wouldn't care for any markdown editor other than basics like VSCode. I was looking for something for notes, collecting links and scientific research for work, code snippets, journaling, task management - all in one system. Pus it had to be on both iOS and Windows.
And with plugins, it seems definitely capable of all that.

@BartWronski @kepano oh, yeah, actually, It was very similar for me... I think I looked at it because several years ago (and sometimes it comes back from time to time) I was reading lots of graphics, compiler papers (PDF) and articles on the web, and I'm trying to have notes on the sides, but I have always been looking to organize all my knowledge searching/collecting/notes in a unified way.

I thought Obsidian could help, but maybe I missed some features... but I should definitely try again.
