the oldest article I know of on this is here: https://nesslabs.com/obsidian-featured-tool regarding the ethos, I'd say you should look at the Obsidian manifesto, and my essays here: https://stephango.com/topics/obsidian/

Here's what I'm working on next for Obsidian Web Clipper. Shameless ask — if you've been enjoying the extension, give it a review wherever you downloaded it. It really keeps me going 💜

We're getting close on some limited edition /obsidian merch by the amazing Shaun Yue. Which one is your favorite? Shaun is the designer behind sci-fi interfaces you've seen in Andor, Rogue One, Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Mission Impossible, etc, etc 1. "Drive" — inspired by hard drives representing the physical instantiation of your files 2. "Fractal" — explodes the Obsidian logo into a fractal graph view (these images show the back of the t-shirt)

A subset of people will find refuge in Omnivore's open source code, but the vast majority of users are not technical enough to compile/host/run a service like this. In the end I keep coming back to the ephemerality of software. We have to appreciate that apps like Omnivore are being attempted. The apps that become self-sustaining will last longer than those that don't, but none will last forever. (2/2)

Thoughts on Omnivore shutting down (1/2) Many people enjoyed Omnivore because it was free, but being free was part of its demise. As an independent app maker, you must have a way to generate revenue or your product will die. As a user you must demand a way to pay makers for the products you love. See my essay: "Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash" https://stephango.com/quality-software I didn't personally use Omnivore, but it seems like many Obsidian users loved it. Now the app is being shut down with only a couple of weeks to export your data. While this is abrupt, it isn't surprising. When a startup runs out of resources, the end is always more sudden than you expect. The dream of making it work persists until the very last moment.
