The file format isn't markdown, instead a proprietary format in JSON
- adhamsalama 2y agoIs it not open source?
- skaragianis 2y agoIt locks your efforts to the vendor/project which is different to Obsidian
- adhamsalama 2y agoIt is still open source, not proprietary, and you can export files to Markdown anyway.
- Pooge 2y agoI'm not an Obsidian user, but I agree with their "file over app" philosophy.[1] If SiYuan stops being developed, are the files still readable/parse-able? [1]: https://stephango.com/file-over-app https://stephango.com/file-over-app
- pg999w 2y agoYes, if SiYuan stops being developed, you can still get your notes exported as markdown files. Since SiYuan is open-source, you can also use the internal code to parse the JSON format notes.
- adhamsalama 2y agoIt's open source, so yes, and you can export files to Markdown anyway.
- princevegeta89 2y agoYes, your existing installations on your devices, whatever they are, can read your data as long as you use the correct Repo keys that are used to encrypt stuff. In the worst case, you can deploy the docker instance with older images to keep going on.
