Cloud sync + 10gb storage space comes with a cost
- eternityforest 4y agoI like Obsidian+SyncThing
- spicybright 4y agoBut it's certainly not $5/mo. Something in the ballpark of $10/yr would be better. I can buy a private VPS for $20/yr with 30gb of storage and slap sync thing on it, and find an existing markdown editor if I wanted. That could easily pay for itself with 4 users. And that's just scraping the bottom of the barrel of low cost servers. Yes not everyone can set up a server, and yes this takes the burden off spending time doing that. But your average software engineer with some server knowledge could set this up in a day. The value proposition is just not there.
- 20after4 4y agoIn a day? I'd think closer to an hour than a day to set up.
- spicybright 4y agoI would want to add time for a bit of stress testing, backups, etc. If I'm building something that needs to "stand the test of time", I find a day lets me relax, meander, think it through, and not get stressed over not moving fast enough. I've also learned from experience to always over estimate these things ;)
