Plex is one of the reasons I now always choose open source over closed source but free as in beer. They start out great but as financial constraints creep in the compromises are made that create a very unpleasant experience. For example, I'd love to use Obsidian, which is an amazing app, but who knows what will happen to it in the future.

With Obsidian the thing that made me ok with this was it's all just markdown. I have all my data stored locally in an ubiquitous file format

This is the primary motivating factor for why I like https://prose.sh

You store your markdown files locally and then copy them to your hosted blog.

Yep except instead of it being a note-taking app, it's a blog platform.
