I want cold storage encryption which is cross-platform and doesn't require FUSE and such. Current solutions are all either non-cross-platform or overkill, so I'm still using Obsidian non-encrypted. It's a matter of default and ease of use.
That said, I've checked Ferrite out – unfortunately there's a very long way to go before it becomes Obsidian-ish (left and right panel, add tabs, hide the top formatting bar), better focus on those features. If it becomes close enough – I'll implement the encryption myself :)
Fair feedback! You're right — Ferrite isn't Obsidian-complete. Those are reasonable additions: - Left panel already exists (file tree + outline), but could use polish
- Right panel (backlinks?) would come with v0.3.0 wikilinks work
- Hiding toolbar is a quick settings addition — I'll add that to the list
What's your priority order for those? And if you do implement encryption later, I'd love to see the approach!
