I don't use Obsidian, and my assumption when I saw the title was I guess they're gonna be limiting it to a small set of corporate-blessed plugins.
I've come to expect that "The Future Of XYZ" titles from software companies means severely limiting XYZ or preparing XYZ for a shut down!
- raddan 5mo agoI was wondering at which point the enshittification would be revealed.
- troad 5mo ago> the enshittification A strong reason to stick to using Obsidian as just a Markdown editor and not get sucked into the plugin ecosystem at all. If your Obsidian vault is just a folder of Markdown files, you're ready to leave at a moment's notice. If I ever go in on some plugin ecosystem, it'll be FOSS, non-commercial, and have been around long enough to drink. (Emacs?) Haven't felt the need; a Markdown vault for reference resources + pen & paper for ephemera suffices for me.
- xboxnolifes 5mo agoIf I just use obsidian as a markdown editor without plugins, I have no need for obsidian.
- troad 5mo agoIt has a nice and fully-featured editor, it syncs reliably between devices and it has a mobile app for notes on the go. I don't see why I wouldn't use it. (What a weird false dichotomy? As if the only two choices were either to extract every possible pound of flesh from something, or not use it at all?)
- herrherrmann 5mo agoI had the same worries! It’s great to be positively surprised that it’s all good news in Obsidian’s case.
