Regardless of which way you slice it, it is really neet to be able to automate more aspects of our lives than ever before. It's not so much about the framework we use, the fact that we have the endpoints to use them.

A day later, I got a fully LLM-generated comment claiming my approach was wrong and that I should rewrite it differently and telling the maintainers he could contribute "if the project is open to a more surgical refactoring."

Well, from the other side of the table, as somebody who helps maintain open source projects complicated by bounties. I've had automated PRs and replies from LLMs claiming to be people. I refuse to work with people or people with AIs that are unwilling to take the time to understand the challenges from a human perspective expressed in person to person discourse. People need to develop interpersonal relationships. I think what you're seeing is a response to what other maintainers are experiencing or, more than likely, the problem is as stated above, just from a different point of view.
A human-first approach doesn't exclude AI-augmented solutions for technical problems. The reason code exists is to close a gap in human experience in software.
I can't wonder if that's by design to make it hard for a plugin to have it's own sync mechanism. Definitely not proof of this that I know of, but a thought.
There can't be a will from the devs to make it hard to sync.
It's just that unlike git or Dropbox or whatever, that are just generic "syncing" tools, Obsidian Sync has been built to provide the best experience with Obsidian.
I'm talking more about the plugin architecture not about the file format or third-party applications. sync plugins seems to be pretty limited compared to what's offered for a subscription.
someone reverse engineered obsidian sync a couple years ago, but obsidian ended up “patching” it. Saw some recent discussion on here about it:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44768641
it's not per-vault is it? I have multiple vaults I'd like to sync selectively (50% of files in one vault for one machine, and 100% on another etc.)
No space restrictions?
I only use a single vault, so I'm afraid I can't answer to your question.
So when I talk about selective sync, it's about what is synced within a vault, and more specifically Obsidian settings/plugins...
I don't have the need to selectively sync only some of my vault's content, so never looked into it.
I just know that Obsidian Sync does what I'm expecting it to do.
And to add some context: I'd rather they just add a regular "Obsidian" sub that included vault sync; instead of giving away Obsidian for free, and selling add-ons. Because on itself, Obsidian Sync is quite expensive. If I'm willing to pay that much for that little, it's because, to me, I'm paying first for the development of Obsidian in itself.
But I understand why they wanted to go this way.
I don't know if it is/was the best move; because I see lots of people not willing to use Obsidian just because they are "scamming" people on their expensive Sync add-on.
Joplin has great sync support for a number of providers, Dropbox, Onedrive, Nextcloud, S3 etc, Obsidian supports none of these on iOS so I cant sync all my devices without having all my notes go to Obsidian servers and paying the fee.
Yes, this is giving away everything about your vehicles driving to a third party for sale or, manufacture. I don't like this personally and I don't like it for my vehicle either. Where I go in my vehicle and when I do it is my business. With vehicles being IoT connected, we are forced to surrender that data as there is no opt-out except for disconnecting the antenna. Not to mention going in to be serviced what kind of data is pulled off.
