Looks fascinating. Great that it's free for personal use. Except that not being able to use it on my phone and desktop without paying $100 per year is way too expensive for personal use. Give me a personal sync for $3 per month for two devices and I'd definitely be tempted.

You can sync using git or any folder sharing service like Dropbox

Put my archives on Google Drive and then mount the drive on my phone. This keeps everything in-sync between my laptop and phone obsidian instances

Obsidian repeatedly “patched” the “vulnerabilities” that allowed you to modify the sync server address across 3 different versions.

A non-commercial self hosted sync solution/license would be great for people who can set it up, and probably wouldn't hurt sales for people who don't have the skills or don't want to set it up.

The data is stored as plain text files on your device so there are several free options you can use depending on your combination of operating systems and devices. iCloud, Git, Syncthing, and many community plugins.

  I would imagine Obsidian offers better conflict resolution than general-purpose syncs, since they can safely assume certain things (like if you add two lines to different parts of the same file, Obsidian can safely assume you want those changes silently merged, but a general purpose service might report it as a conflict). No idea in practice, though. Just speculating.
