There are community plugins to self-host the sync-server though.
Anyway, I hate the fact I'm using closed-source editor, because it kinda is a sensitive thing, but the more I'm using Obsidian, the more unlikely the switch seems. I was kinda stingy with installing new plugins too, but, well, you cannot just ignore the productivity benefits. It doesn't seem feasible to build something like than on my own (for multiple platforms too!), and nobody brave enough seems to have made it so far.
Even if you try to replicate it, you need the community support and enthusiasm and interest in hacking and sharing their work to compete. Joplin is a great alternative, but the community plugins pale in comparison to Obsidian if you're a power user
