For the use-case of a professional developer employed at a company with more than two poeple, it is $50.00 / year [1]

Roam (Research) is an Obsidian alternative.
Foam (Bubble) is an open source VScode plugin inspired by Roam.
Foam in VScode is what I use daily as my second brain:
Nonprofits are exempt
I do this with Obsidian + Git - I'll check out syncthing. Thanks!
Checked out syncthing myself after seeing this comment... What a great utility! Thanks for suggesting.
I use the same setup + logseq. Gamechanger
What's the benefit of using logseq?
Logseq has a build in query language. You can query every block of information.
It's organised around blocks rather than pages. So you tend to organise your thoughts in packages.
And you can reference blocks in your current page so you have a direct link. Though I think Obsidian does this to.
The differences are quite subtle but profound.
Understood. Do you use anything to sync data between both tools?
Obsidian has LaTeX support without using a plugin?
Inline (markdown-embedded) LaTeX, yeah. You can also export to PDF. But I would definitely not use it as a full-blown (La)TeX environment.
Although, it is a perfectly good environment for drafting such manuscripts.
I don't really use any Obsidian plugins. Obsidian has good builtin navigation, search, and markdown processing (e.g. LaTeX, code syntax highlighting). It's just as easy as opening a new file in $EDITOR, except its a markdown renderer & synced across all my devices.
There are also a lot of bells and whistles like graph viz, export to website, etc. that haven't gotten in my way.
