> I use Obsidian. They got me to become addicted to their software by having no fanfare or ceremony and allowing me to see what's great about it right away by trying it. It opens to a big download button. It doesn't ask for email. It's free forever for personal use.

I know other people are giving you shit for this, but I'm exactly the same way. Combined with Syncthing, other software (particularly paid stuff like this) doesn't look even remotely capable in comparison. People hydroplane over the essentials and then act surprised when their unicorn app isn't the runaway success it should have been.

Dear Notes Apps:

Everyone else has already done you, and better. If you want to compete (like, actually compete), you have to match them on features and be better somehow. Things like being "cloud-based" are not selling points; they're detriments when compared to your competitors.
