Logseq is also oss, obsidian I believe opening is planned but dunno much about the status, don’t keep up with it.

Why wouldn’t you bother to try it? When I was doing my oscp I had to take mad amounts of notes, I tried zim, cheeytree, a few others I forget and obsidian was clearly the best, electron notwithstanding (and it was religious to me also, but really it has improved quite a lot since we formed our views about electron)

These days, I tend to use obsidian for longer form entries, in the same repo I use logseq primarily (and with working copy git client on my phone, obsidian mobile gives me access to all my logseq files, stopgap until they release the mobile app).



Obsidian can get a little slow even on a T480 with 32 GiB of memory, though usually there's no issue but noticeable startup time. Sublime didn't run on the Pi I had and VSCode was too slow (this is why I ended up learning vim last year, at last). Given my experience with VSCode and observing other apps like Chrome, I assume it wouldn't work that well. However, I'm not sure I was even aware of Obsidian when I was using that machine every day. It and Chrome, VSCode etc. certainly could have improved since then (maybe 1.5 years ago)


It doesn't appear that the Obsidian devs have any plans to open source the project [1]
