Genuinely curious what bloat does Obsidian come with? But yeah my first thought too was FOSS Obsidian
Electron runtime in general. It seems all of the popular cross platform note taking / knowledge garden apps are electron.
I long so much for a native version that I started learning QTQuick to do just this.
Til Obsidian is electron, never knew!
Electron = bloat. That's why HelixNotes is Tauri.
Personally I have only a hundred notes or so and really only the basic plugins and it still takes up to 10 seconds to load and become usable on my phone.
It is definitely not fast loading up but it is very fast in most other use cases I have seen. At work I use it with getting more towards 1000 notes and it works fine there usually, though there is some windows+ electron weirdness
