Obsidian's CEO Interview
Casey Newton, on theverge.com:
Steph’s role as CEO is also unusual, because although Obsidian is still a very young, very small, and very flat organization, he’s actually not one of the founders. He joined in 2023, when cofounders Shida Li and Erica Xu brought him in based on his experience with his former startup, Lumi. He was also a huge Obsidian fan.
Great interview for those that may not know about Obsidian. Really supports the feeling that both Obsidian the app and its team, are one of us — regular users.
Every time I explore other options, I end up back using Obsidian. My two main gripes with the app are the subpar search and mobile experience — neither discussed in the interview.
But the trade-off’s with portability and privacy against other haven’t convinced me yet.
