I can’t find it in their docs but they stated it in the announcement email for pay-as-you-go. I also have received a email saying they covered my ~$0.18 bill for the month. You could probably contact support for more clarification.

EDIT: Originally I just looked at the website. Looking at the GitHub repo, I see it's a fork, which makes sense (I also didn't notice the other replies!) Either way, it's cool. I'll probably end up using this myself. I was unable to find a way to store notes in a folder or in encrypted Gists though.

This seems nearly identical to Heynote[0], which was also on HN[1]. Even the example blocks share some content with that used as an example in the screenshot on the Heynote homepage (and I think in the app too)

What note-taking app are you using currently, if any? I've been using Silverbullet [1] for a while now and love it due to it's usage of plain-text markdown files in a normal directory structure to actually store the notes. Yet, it supports many other features such as query language and to a certain extent, federation with other SilverBullet instances. The only major downside for me is that whilst it's usable on mobile, it feels cramped.

Open-sourcing the code allows some level of assurance that your data is not being used for profit and that if the hosted version goes away, it can still be used as a self-hosted service.

In addition, it can allow the devs to accept contributions, making their job maintaining the program easier.

I found this interesting as it has gained a significant amount of GitHub stars in a short period of time. From a brief look at the code, it seems it just makes requests to chat.openai.com as if someone was using ChatGPT, for free, via the browser. This somehow automates it, and seemingly, without credentials.

EDIT: I didn't realize that ChatGPT can now be used without a login. That seems to be how this can function without credentials.

Using Selenium, even headlessly, Amazon prices can easily be scraped. This could be turned into an API without much difficulty, I imagine.

This can, however, be run entirely inside of Docker - something I’ve done numerous times on a remote sever. This even allows for the web interface to be used, though that kind of defeats the purpose.

That’s completely fair. I think that the fact that all files are in plain-text significantly reduces the negatives of Obsidian being proprietary. Earlier today I was thinking of switching to Obsidian. However, I don’t see the benefit over Logseq, which I’m somewhat accustomed to. For me, the only reason I don’t love Logseq is its lack of a web app or PWA.

Unfortunately, no. However, there are alternatives to sync. I love Logseq, but dislike the lack of a sync server. I have not not tried either of the following methods as I just recently switched to iOS and just used Syncthing on my Pixel. The guide on ish also has a comment on encryption if you scroll enough.
