I‘d recommend Zettlr instead: open source, free, local (so you own your data), great active community.
Obsidian is closed source, and I’d say its features do not justify choosing that over Zettlr (unlike something like Notion.so)

- anoffvu 6y agoWe’re actually building the desktop app and local storage is almost done for the web app over at https://logseq.com https://logseq.com ! We’re using the new Filesystem API so look forward to many of these tools supporting local storage in the future!
- kanjus 6y agoThanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check your app out! Your approach is also kind of similar to Joplin (joplinapp.org), another open source, privacy-focused, and cross-device app, but you have more features.
- slightwinder 6y ago> Obsidian is closed source Should be noted that the Core-Application is closed Source. The plugins are at the moment open source, or at least source available. I think the long term goal is to build on a rich plugin-ecosystem with a sleak core. Also closed source doesn't really matter in this case, because it's build on open data-formats and running local. There is no vendor lockin. If the app disappears some day, you can still continue to use it or use a different markdown-editor (which are already existing today).
