Most people don't pay for Obsidian, do you imagine they're raking in hundreds of millions?
It's hard to know how many users they have, and they're overrepresented on this forum so it's easy to be carried away with our estimates, but let's say they have 1M active users. Then let's say 5% of them pay the $50/yr for sync. That's only $2.5M, divided between 5-10 people.
Good salary, but not outrageous and not much room to add many employees.
halation (bleeding of the text into the background) happens for all people with astigmatism with white text on dark background but severity will obviously differ depending on your personal environment.
But given that about 50% of people have some form of astigmatism dark mode default has been a horrid trend.
That's because Obsidian is black. But we're planning to add light mode in the near future :)
I'm a fan of Obsidian and your work but dark mode only is an issue for a big percentage of the population.

The app has had light mode since 2020 :)
Obsidian is a small team and I am pretty much the only person working on the website but I hope to add it soon.
I use Obsidian with light mode ;)
(also applied to work with you!)
Wtf are you doing with all the money? Hire some actual engineers already, Jesus.

Reader mode in Firefox is one click to dark text on a white background. Presumably other browsers have the same thing.
It works for blog posts and articles but not anything more complex than that.
Try Obsidian Web Clipper's Reader feature for Firefox :)

Tried it with this URL:

Most of the content is missing.
But a very rare form of astigmatism I guess? Because I've had it for 30+ years and I can read it perfectly without any effort?
I can read it for like a minute or two. After that I get halation issues and the white text seems to start burning into my retina or something.
It's not so bad for a UI like eg Spotify but anything with actual text content is an issue.

Ah maybe because I have always lights off, so it's dark surrounded by dark ^^
