Nice site but it seems wildly unorganized. There seems to be zero standard for tagging software and the language used in reviews is not objective. Lot's of uses of appears rather than is. Ie Obsidian appears non-FOSS, it isn't!

    Obsidian appears non-FOSS, it isn’t!

    Where did you get the idea that it is FOSS? The page on it links to their releases repo where they plainly state,

    Obsidian is not open source software

    Degooglers and privacy people like it because it's "good" proprietary software that is fully local, doesn't phone home, and doesn't lock in its users. That's all well and good but it doesn't make it FOSS.
