Nice find Jason!! Just downloaded it and renamed all the .txt files to .md in my notes folder 
I usually use Apple Notes for notes, however they’re synced in the cloud (handy if you want to pick up working on something on your phone) but I try to avoid using it for anything sensitive, such as server notes - so Obsidian looks like it could be really nice for that!
Obsidian does try to make two connections to the web on start up, if you disable check for updates it seems to stop (I’d prevent it anyway via LittleSnitch but it’s worth knowing if you don’t use LittleSnitch).
I wonder if we should split posts like this into individual threads so that they can trend in our lists btw? This is just the sort of thing Devtalk is aiming to help with - make it easy for people to see what’s hot/trending
