[LVB]

I was in a similar spot. After too much hand wringing I decided to sign up for monthly ($10/month) sync and give it a solid two months. These are important tools that I’m happy to pay for, but they do take some time to evaluate. I figured $20 was a reasonable amount to commit to.

FWIW I ended up going all in on Obsidian and paying yearly, but that outcome was far from a forgone conclusion, even a month in. I went through a full cycle of honeymoon phase, then discovering warts, and then workarounds, etc. It does take time.
