Hello everyone - I’ve recently switched to Obsidian and I’m very very much into it. I love that the developers have us, the users, in mind as the first priority.
I do wince at the idea that Obsidian is not open source, however. And for that, I do have a suggestion:
Other user-first, and privacy-first commercial companies have encountered this problem, and the license that they’ve adopted is the Business Source License, developed by MariaDB. Venueless is one of the many companies that has used the license.
Adopting this license will definitely ease my discomfort, and would meet many of the concerns raised above in this thread.
Keep up the great work. This is a product that’s made with love, and it shows.
