I wasn’t aware of Foam yet, thanks. Looks similar indeed. The whole install through terminal/clone from github is a bit off-putting for users like me though. Obsidian isn’t open source, true, but as it’s a viewer on my data, for now I don’t mind much. Maybe if Foam gets better, it will become the next viewer I use for my data. It’s all md text files afer all.
@www.zylstra.org yeah I start worrying about functionality on top of Markdown files being enclosed. The personal / private use only makes it less risky. More experiments to come!
@boris Yes, you're right that that is a concern. e.g. forum.obsidian.md/t/open-so... The license info on Obsidian to me reads like a not very thought through way of positioning the app, and it reads like no legal person reviewed that EULA. On top is 'you're leasing this copy of the app, not owning it' stuff that I don't really want to see anywhere near my tools.
