I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

Would love to but I’m not going to pay a subscription for sync (one time would be ok), or have my data on a random aws instance. And last time I checked there is no plugin for your own self defined sync storage like Nextcloud. Once there is, I’m having a go.

It's just markdown. You should know how to use git, use it.

there's a git plugin which can sync with any git server

Thanks for the heads-up. I see that it has an auto-commit feature, that may be interesting, if it also works on iOS.

You can set it to automatically commit and push every x minutes and pull every time you start the app.

just saw after you replied :) but unfortunately that is only available on desktop.

I've got it running on Android as well if that's what you're looking for

You can use FolderSync to sync your .md dir to nextcloud. It suited me well because I use foldersync for other purposes, too

I may need to add, that I use Obsidian across Win/Linux/iOS/macOS via remotely save. the sync solution needs to be able to work on all platforms. Logseq doesn't have mobile plugins yet and iOS makes filesystem access a pain.
