the next big feature for @obsidian is not AI

@moshtodon @liztai I don't know of any app aside from Obsidian that has all the following:

1. stores data in an interoperable plain text data format local to the device
2. does not have VC funding
3. does not include telemetry
4. has a flexible plugin API for both desktop and mobile
5. is actively maintained and improved
6. gets quick security patches, e.g. the recent CVE-2023-4863
7. has end-to-end encryption for sync between devices
8. is free for personal use

What does your Obsidian graph look like? I'd love to see it.

The plan for Obsidian is to never grow beyond 10-12 people, never take VC funding, never collect personal data or analytics.

Continue building with the assumption that software is ephemeral, files matter more than apps. Use formats that are open and durable.
