You're prob not violating ToS since you're not doing it for commercial use, and you're actually reinventing the wheel as a couple of options for that are already available as community plugins. I've been using Remote-save for a while with a almost free private S3 bucket and encryption to sync between my computers and phone for a while.
https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save
It supports more than just S3 (as is listed in the README), its just what I use.
That said, what you made is pretty cool. I guess you're trying to replace the API/backend similar to Vaultwarden does with BitWarden paid service.
For me, its not that I can't afford $8 a month, its just that $8 is to me fairly steep for basic file storage and sync I get for free from some services. $12 a year would be a fair price to me. I get some of it goes to support Obsidian development, but still seems steep, $2-3 a month would be something I'd subscribe for.
- nsteel 3y agoRemotely save is excellent. I use it with WebDAV to work between my computers, phone and tablet.
- echelon 3y agoIf Obsidian stops acheong08, I'm done with Obsidian. I want a durable way to edit, sync, and preserve my notes, not just a pretty interface. I'm happy to pay Obsidian for sync, but if they PM this to only one distribution channel and subsequently enshittify it, I don't want it. Stopping acheong08 would be a bad signal forewarning what's to come.

- rs_rs_rs_rs_rs 3y agoDude, just pay the $8, no reason to cluch your pearls like that.
- echelon 3y agoI don't think my comment was uncalled for. The OP was worried they broke the TOS by writing their own service. I wanted to reassure them that any move by Obsidian to squash them would be met with incredible scrutiny. I already pay Obsidian, both monthly and with the one-time donation. I mentioned it in my comment. My post was upvoted +3 until you responded with snark. Now it's at -4. Not sure how I'm pearl clutching.
- bosie 3y ago> would be met with incredible scrutiny. i highly doubt that. maybe from you but that is of no consequence really (to obsidian). hence your strongly worded comments are a bit over the top
