I gladly pay those fifty bucks. Creating good applications require hard work.

(I wouldn’t say Obsidian is perfect, but so far I haven’t found any note-taking application that I like more.)

I’m not denying that obsidian is a better solution, just pointing out to the parent that there aren’t “extra steps” to the described solution - it is exactly what it is - but you need to add paid features (8$/m) to obsidian in order to get web access.

No you don't. You can use your own web-hosting or web-syncing solutions. I just use Git. There's an excellent (and free) plugin on Obsidian exactly for this reason.

Does this plugin let me export Obsidian notes as a website? Would you happen to remember the name?

that sounds like "extra steps" to me... and you still need somewhere to sync to and serve from...

I never said Obsidian doesn't require extra steps to setup sync without paying. Do you happen to know one that also allows you to save locally and have back-linking features?

Also with Github you can have a private repo for free with which you can host and sync your files.

I thought private repos were the ones that required patment, did that change?

I think there's a limit on the number of private limit. I personally never hit that limit.

They made unlimited private repos available to free accounts with up to 3 collaborators in 2019: https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/new-year-new-...

Then for unlimited collaborators in 2020: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github...
