- chrisco255 4y agoAll the files are locally hosted, and written in standard markdown. You can abandon ship any time you want. It's also ok to pay for good software.
- AB1908 4y ago$2250 dollars over 45 years sounds pretty good imo but that's just me haha
- moooo99 4y agoThats what I thought, thats about half the annual operating cost of my personal vehicle. And it does provide me with a lot of value. Its for brainstorming, maintaining contacts, keeping track of projects, etc. Just a side observation: Many people on HN do make money building software, yet so many users seem completely unwilling to pay for software. In some regards I do understand that, there are quite a lot of "bad companies" out there that you just can't avoid in many circumstances, but as far as I'm concerned, Obsidian seems like the good guy (for now at least).
- number6 4y agoPersonally? Iam at odds with the subscription model for apps but may be better than paying for every major release. I recently started to think about buying software instead of doing a half good job programming something
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoIf it was just $2250 for 45 years, maybe. That's not a payment option. The price will probably go up with inflation. It's probably closer to $4000-8000 after inflation, as $50 will become $100 after a decade or two.
- moooo99 4y agoIf you go to the extent of including inflation, you should also account for the fact that your income will also likely increase - with raises accounting for inflation and career progression - making the price of a tool that can provide so much value even more negligible.
