Thino FAQ

The following is a collection of information related to Thino.

Reasons for Renaming to Thino

For more details, see 05_About Thino. The core reasons are:

At the code level: Starting from version 2.1, Obsidian Memos will diverge from the current development path of Memos and will be updated as Thino.
At the functionality level: Thino will start to add more features for acquiring and organizing inspiration, evolving in new directions.
Due to new Obsidian official rules, plugins are not allowed to use the Obsidian name. Thus, we took the opportunity to come up with a new name.

Anecdote

The name was decided through multiple rounds of voting.

Why Charge for Thino Pro?

Note: This mainly supports the development of the Thino Local (which includes Obsidian Plugin) and Thino Web, and for the future of Thino multi-platform applications development. You can choose not to buy pro, and just use the basic version of Thino. It is still faster and robuster than before!

Not now. But the version 1.x code will still be open sourced. The new version 2.x will not be open sourced.

How to Obtain Thino Pro as an Early Bird/Beta Participant

Initially, to motivate PKMer community authors, the community unconditionally trusted many authors and freely distributed version 2.0.x.
From version 2.1, Thino Pro will be available for purchase. However, the PKMer community will continue to provide preferential treatment to contributors.

Both the Thino is a product of the PKMer organization, and Thino’s development is inseparable from the strong support of other PKMer members: Acknowledgements

The Relationship between Thino and the Memos Open Source Project

Obsidian Memos is from the open source project Memos, based on the December 2021 version of Memos. In version 2.X, Thino’s interface and underlying code have been rebuilt, gradually diverging from Memos’s development path and source code implementation.
