I never understood why they haven't added the awesome from Workflowy^WDynalist to (the presumably much more financially lucrative) Obsidian.
I liked Workflowy^WDynalist, but (just like Notion and the lesser Notionesques) I didn't like my data being in some weird ass place I couldn't control. For some data it's OK, but...
The open-standards awesome of Obsidian is a huge benefit. But sync, while it works great once set up, costs like 5-10 minutes per machine. Which, compared to just being "on the web" is a huge cost. Potentially hours.
They obviously have the tech to make "on the web" an optional property of your Obsidian vaults... the only thing I can think is that they just don't have the manpower to do it with their lean team.
Which I can respect, but at the same time, as a (paying) user I am unsatisfied, and it seems like a glaring weakness to leave out there. A competitor with half the features, but with that one, seems like the biggest threat to Obsidian to me (even though I don't know of one yet).
EDIT: Oops, yes, I meant Dynalist (updated). I used Workflowy, too, and found them both good but both had that same flaw I couldn't accept for my important data.
