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

I don't mean to be all "BuT iT's cLOseD SoURce" but you should give Logseq or Zettlr a try. They're similar WYSIWYG markdown editors, but also FOSS. Zettlr also has vim keys.

Plus Obsidian is horrible at editing tables.

I just commented this elsewhere, but I personally feel that their reasons for being closed source are worse than actually just being closed source.

I was about to comment that their website also claims "legitimate interest" to create a personalised ad profile on me, before I realised that that is not the official Obsidian website. But yeah, the stated reasons are dumb.
