So how do I fund a more powerful or distributed server for Meow, because it kiiinda seems like the existing one needs a boost…

Relearning the travails of making posts with complicated formatting on Tumblr, by which I mean I am ready to put on my stomping sandals until I calm down

@micro_cat Well, the honest truth is because I was using Ulysses long before I'd even heard of Obsidian. :) Ulysses also seems to have gone more explicitly after former Scrivener users, which I am.
