> Again, a little bit odd considering that the author is technically savvy enough to write an entire PKMS but didn't seem to consider that you can just check your markdown notes into a git repository and sync with the native android/iOS Obsidian app on a mobile device.

Even simpler, I have mine in a Dropbox folder. Felt very strange for _this_ to be the straw that broke the camel's back for the author.

Nonetheless, very glad for them that they enjoyed and learned from the experience of building a replacement!

Yeah, I have my obsidian vault in Dropbox and synced to my phone and back with Dropsync on android. The obsidian mobile app Just Works™ with this. It was a one time setup. Of course there's no fancy conflict resolution going on, but it's unlikely I'm editing in two places at once so it's not needed.

Yeah, syncing text files across devices is a problem that has little to do with obsidian or whichever editor/renderer one uses. As long as one keeps things relatively simple with plugin-related syntax flavours, editors are interchangeable.

Fun fact: Dropbox doesn’t support emoji in file names ( or at least, didn’t last time I checked. )

Deal breaker for me - adding iconography to file and folder names can be a natural, zesty enterprise.

  • Still doesn't. I recently moved my vault to Dropbox and had to rename a bunch of filenames
