I could be wrong, but I’ve always been under the impression that Obsidian charges a lot for sync because the app is amazing and free. Sync helps pay for that. But they’re also very helpful about providing other ways to sync your files to your phone. I use iCloud Drive (which I have anyway for other reasons).
At least for me personally, the paid syncing was pretty spotty. I was a hug fan of the app, paid for yearly billing, but never got notes to sync consistently across devices.
A warning to those considering applying here: This month, I went through the full interview process with Sourcegraph - 6 interviews, including one with the CTO. I was asked for references, waited around for two weeks while they had a big company meeting, and then was told that I was a great engineer who passed all the interviews but they were pivoting and weren't going to hire me anyways. At a company with 50 engineers where multiple people during the interview process bragged to me about how much runway they had.
Random thing I’ve been wondering: is there a point in including TLS support in web servers any more? Isn’t it always better to run a reverse proxy and terminate HTTPs at the edge?
The problem is that you will have more moving parts - a web server, and an additional reverse proxy (which can add overhead).
Also, Ferron can also be configured as a reverse proxy.
I mean, they provide the service by stealing data from their users. I would argue that this is just as ethically fine as Youtube's entire business model.
My god there’s a lot of negativity here. Nice work! I’ve been looking for something like this for a very small test I’m running of a mobile app. It’s honestly surprising that there are so few offerings in this space
Since everything you need to run "a full SPA" is to serve some static files over an internet connection I'm not sure how that tells you anything interesting about the platform. It's basically the simplest thing a web server can do.
We've used Netlify at previous projects, we used it because it was easy. No AWS accounts or knowledge needed, just push to master, let the CI build (it was a Gatsby site) and it was live.
I think Netlify is great but to me it's overkill if you just have a static site.
I understand that Netlify is much simpler to get started with and setting up an AWS account is somewhat more complex. If you have several sites, it's worth spending the time to learn.
