FirmDistributionGermany has just made the standard Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory
This is something very important:
Don’t focus on aplications (FOSS or not) but on open data formats and proper import/export mechanisms so you can switch applications easily.
That’s why I use Obsidian! It’s not open source, but all my notes are just… pre-emptively saved as markdown files on disk. If they fuck me over I can just leave and open it in literally any markdown editor 😭
If they used a proprietary format, I probably just wouldn’t have used them in the first place and would have had to use a shittier alternative.
quick_snailWhich markdown format?
GitHub or Stack Exchange or Reddit?
A combination of CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown so it’s compatible with most markdown formatting people are used to. Also supports LaTeX and HTML. (and of course any custom syntax modifications you make with custom CSS or plugins)
