An Obsidian user on Medium recently lost an entire vault to data corruption because of an encryption plugin.
I’m very sorry this happened to them, and that they didn’t have a backup.
Truly, if our notes in Obsidian can’t function without features that exist only in that app, we’ve shackled ourselves to the wall of a prison without a door.
Always have an exit plan! Always backup your work! And never lock all your data with a key you don’t own.
