To those who came here just to shill obsidian for some reason (drop me a dm! I also wanna get paid for my comments!) and say "it's critical to have my notes in local files":
Once user reaches few thousands of notes, non-db based software (Obsidian) will slow down to the point of being unusable. There's no workaround to this, since the bottleneck is storage speed
It's an opportunity to correct every poster who states one way or another! ๐
