As someone who specifically started building Octarine, just for this reason, I understand.

Having to rely on random devs for the most basic functionality and passing it off as `community does what it wants` is weird. Either add it in yourselves, or accept the fact that given your app requires external contributors to work at a little above the basic level, there are going to be security issues.

Writing a whole blog post, and throwing shade on "other apps" that have far more dependencies than Obsidian is weird to me.

Anyway, it seems like you can't really talk bad about them, since there's a huge following that just comes at you, and that feels weird, cause they apparently can throw shade, others can't just talk back.
