I've been using obsidian since last year, and I love it. After previously haven fallen in and then out of love with notion, obsidian has been just what the doctor ordered. So I was excited to see a obsidian HN post, and really didn't expect to see the CEO as the top post. Kudos to you. I've been a sync customer more or less since I started using obsidian, mostly because I use the same vault on my phone plus a couple PCs. But honestly, the sync has been disappointing. When I restructure folders or rename stuff, half the time the next time I open on a different device, it deletes shit. I can usually figure it out and recover from the sync log, that's a big trustbreaker.

The rename issue is already solved and in the process of being rolled out across all the clients. Our original implementation of renaming for Sync was naive and slow. This was especially noticeable if you renamed a folder with lots of files. It would first delete the remote file on the Sync server and re-upload the local file to the new path. If you did this with a whole folder it meant waiting for all the remote files be deleted and then reuploaded. It's safe, just slow. Now we're tracking renames which is much better in every way :)
