Also, no in-house or proprietary cloud-services you charge for. Thats an immediate no-deal. That was my biggest disappointment in having funded Obsidian which in many other ways is an incredible community reclaiming of Roam but the necessity to pay them like $60/year for a black box only they control and leaves you dependant on them broke my damn heart and discouraged the hell out of me.

Download Strongbox and learn from the master. That is such an amazing model from the user side and he seems to be making it work economically so thats all I got for now.

Appreciate the feedback.

What do you like about Strongbox's model? Is it the availability of a lifetime plan?

- that

- philiosophy of pick your own cloud service and it implements the syncing and management or just locally if people prefer

- doesn't lock you in + easy export

- implements MarkDown for notes but thats another good feature to fully implement for task notes, like Sorted3

- thing is, if you have anything non-Lifetime, it means it can be taken away at any point or at least eventually. That is unacceptable for anything (much moreso for content as important as people's notes and passwords etc)

- anything where your servers are involved means it requires a middleman which all of this emphatically does not require. That would be a YOU thing and not an US thing (not that youmre saying that but its super important to emphasize how basically done I am with Devs who pull that crap. I dont care if a Dev sells out or quits or whatever [insert dev situation], if I've done my homework I will likely be unaffected or should be unaffected and I just don't update or allow Apple to screw around with offloading apps

- I am free to top up with tips in the sense I can stochastically throw a little scratch Strongbox Mark's way when I'm able to rarely so I can express my appreciation for it

- He's very reponsive and even has his own subreddit! He hasn't become so big you never hear back from him, really just a mattr of time

- KeePass is an amazing format and he has done a mindblowingly amazing job of implementing all of it without the user habing to get dirty with rando plugin and junk
