20 mins to open app

The amount of time this app takes to load is ridiculous if you are using iCloud sync to iPhone.

Can’t take quick notes like this at all.

Magnifique système de note

J’utilise Obsidian des dizaines de fois par jour. Avec la fonction sync, je suis à la fois sur mon ordinateur sur mon téléphone et tout est fluide.
C’est un système de note absolument extraordinaire.

Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien au quotidien !

Love it

Awesome

Great but buggy

I keep running into an issue where correct words get underlined as if they’re wrong, and it won’t go away unless I delete the word and re write it. I’m also getting copies of those underlined words or letters appearing when I scroll or delete things, just a lot of bugs. It’s been going on for months. Pls fix! I love the app otherwise.
