Nice find Jason!! Just downloaded it and renamed all the .txt files to .md in my notes folder

Cool, I’m glad that you like it. I feel like it deserves more visibility than I’ve seen it get so far.

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).

Yeah that’s good to point out. I have noticed that it checks for updates rather frequently, more than on each startup or day. Maybe every 30 minutes (but I’d have to measure it before being able to say for sure).

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

That’s fine by me
