Favorite offline-first software? (slrpnk.net)

There are apps like https://offpunk.net/ which are explicitly low tech (and even solar punk). But there are also apps, which just happen to be offline first (think PWA etc.). And things in between, like Syncthing. Some might be self hosted other maybe local or distributed applications.

What’s your favorite offline-first app or tool?

In the beginning they did require a commercial license for a fee but they recently changed it to allow all kinds of use for free.

the terms of usage really confuse me on this. there it says:

For the avoidance of doubt, the use of OBSIDIAN for the exercise of your own trade or profession for which you are compensated compensation (e.g. teamwork with colleagues, writing work reports, etc.) does not qualify as Personal Use.

Of course they can't enforce or control anything if you sync using your own infrastructure so its safe to ignore (for now) but that doesn't feel great either.

A key advantage of tools like obsidian is the local markdown data. So you can basically use this client until you don’t anymore. Then just move on, if you don’t use very specific plugins or something. So rather little risk here, in my opinion.

But other popular alternatives you might want to check out are logseq and Joplin.
