Ask HN: Is Obsidian Still Recommended?

[olestr]

I've seen much praise of Obsidian the past year here.

My good old .txt files are getting unwieldy, and I'm considering something like Obsidian.

If you use it: do you pay for their add-ons (Sync, Publish), or do you use a cloud provider (Dropbox, Nextcloud, etc) for sync/backup - what about on the go (iOS/Android)?

Obsidian is great, but I personally went with Joplin because it has native integration with Nextcloud and is open source. Obsidian can be synced with Nextcloud via a plugin, though.

I still use it - and have done since it was in beta.

I pay for Obsidian Sync which has yet to let me down.
