Open source is not a cure-all you know. I prefer to pay for quality software than spend countless hours trying to compile a thing someone abandoned years ago.
Yeah, ^ this is what convinced me to switch to it. It just produces reasonable, compliant markdown files, and displays them. Most markdown-folder apps handle its output just fine, it's just a better experience.
I like open source a lot, but for my data I much prefer interoperable. I've watched too many projects and companies die and take my stuff with them.
The notes are all in markdown stored on your disk. IMO that is more important than the app source code being open. I can easily take my data and write another app.
logseq is open source, but you gotta pay for (e2ee) sync. Joplin is open source and you can do e2ee with a joplin server or s3 backed. I didn't care for Obsidian. logseq for me.
Paying for sync is absolutely fine as long as the client is open source. Thanks for the logseq recommendation, it looks very good from the first sight! I only wish they had NeoVim plugin like Obsidian has.
Agreed, I pay for logseq sync. Down below someone mentioned doing it with sync thing, but paying is easier for me, and supports development to boot. There is a logseq plugin for vi-like keybindings, but predictably, it's just meh. Hope you enjoy logseq, it's amazing.
I have never used this, but for NeoVim it looks like you might be able to use this (or hack on it a bit to make it work with LogSeq a bit better) https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman
