I uninstalled & reinstalled the app, now it works. Maybe "nuke the whole app and restart from scratch'" should be moved up to near the top of my standard debugging steps.

@Dragonhead It works fine as long as I use a local vault and don't try to sync it to anything. Which is kind of useless to me.

@leaf GWerrrrr! The perfect program is always just so close.

@Dragonhead whenever I try to open my officially synced vault obsidian just crashes. I guess all my notes in that vault are inaccessible forever? Their whole promise that your notes are yours and you control them.

@jackemled @Dragonhead The issue (now resolved) was that I didn't have my notes at all, they were on obsidian's cloud. Every time I would try to download them using official obsidian sync, the app would crash. My notes were apparently gone but they're back now.

@leaf @Dragonhead Oh ok. That's so weird. It's good that they're back now. Hopefully it won't happen again :(
