Edit: looks like there's a 7-day trial

travbrack··on Using Obsidian to manage goals, tasks, notes, and software dev knowledge base
I'm using VS code and the markdown preview plugin, with a private repo on github. Works pretty good and would support other filetypes besides MD.
travbrack··on Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep: new research
Sounds interesting. I've often noticed that I sleep much better when I stay up longer than usual. I have commitments during the day that would prevent me from doing this though. Did you come up with the idea yourself? I didn't find anything on the web about it.

travbrack··on OpenAI's GPT-3 may be the biggest thing since Bitcoin
