![]() ![]() Obsidian's free model unfortunately attracts a lot of people (like yourself) having some sort of unfounded entitlement that demands it to be open-source, even though people would rarely, if ever, ask for the same from things like Roam or Typora.Īgain, if Typora fits your use case, I wish you the best of luck with Typora, or any app that works for you. Plus, Typora charges $15 since six days ago, which I don't see you having any qualms paying from your post history. Your comment about open sourcing Obsidian and comparing it to Typora is also disingenuous. I don't owe you the niceties to be nice if you're being ridiculous. And oh, you might want to note you're far from the first person to have the same issues, but my (and most people's) go-to remark isn't and wouldn't "open-source Obsidian or else". If you think that I'm fanboying and insist on trying to poison the well to get ahead in your flawed argument case, sure, go ahead, but my comment shows the contrary where I suggested you to put in your suggestions in the forum, where the devs are more likely to see it, which I don't believe you have done or are willing to do. People like yourself are allowed to have wrong opinions in this day and age. ![]() Unfortunately, a lot of companies are abusing open-source terms, and I can see why a small development team might prefer to focus on coding for now. I am disappointed to see Obsidian and Typora both have elected not to go open-source, although that presents its own set of challenges. I was just using it as an example of the ability to use the right tool for each job. I don't think it'll be the Typora experience you want either. Logseq is also very good at some things, not so much others. I'm still on week 1 with Obsidian, so will have to think about this. I only want to use an external editor like Typora for longer notes, not daily bullets, so this would work well for me. Have all the metadata and inter-document links managed by Obsidian (its strength) and the document body as a separate document to edit externally. Now what would be ideal (for me) in the meantime might be using Obsidian as a wrapper around a document with the content editable in Typora or another editor. I also haven't figured out how to drag content (pics) into Typora in a way that plays nice with Obsidian. I can open individual documents in Typora from the Obsidian interface for long typing sessions, so long as I remember it doesn't handle the linking and automatic renaming that Obsidian does. "Organize first, make pretty second" meets my needs. Without that, I'd just have a massive folder of markdown documents. It has the features I needed to make that manageable, particularly the ability to fix links between documents if I move or rename a note as I reorganize. I've been looking for an Evernote alternative for a few years, and just recently ported over my 1,500+ notes accumulated over the last 12 years into Obsidian. However, I think the Obsidian developers have the right priorities. Typora sets a high bar for usability and finish, and it would be great to see Obsidian get there. I don't disagree regarding desired future functionality. ![]() Understandable if you'd rather not bother. Some of what you want may be doable with current plugins. Obsidian is working as it is currently intended to, and it does sound like a number of improvements are slated for future releases. When I first read it, you came across as "Obsidian is broken" (a declaration) rather than "I prefer how Typora does things" (an opinion). Did you edit the post? It reads clearer now. ![]()
