From my view, komoot got a lot better since it was bought by BS.
I don't know how they did this while laying off a lot of devs, but compared to the years before, a ton of useful things got shipped.

Yes, agree.
Some services (e.g. komoot) apparently have good data, or can work around it.
Others are struggling with lack of precision in the DEM data.
As much as I like the tweakability of BRouter, the tracks generated never give realistic elevation info.
I am surprised at the other comments here that state sketching is a skill worth preserving.
That's something the author of the article clearly states, hist call to discussion is about technical drawing by hand.
And I'm surprised this is still a topic.
I studied architecture more than 25 years ago and at that time hand drawing was already phasing out.
I have never practiced architecture since then and never thought there would be a debate about drawing by hand again.
From what I heard of friends being in the business, doing 2D-drawings isn't a thing in bigger projects anymore, as it is way more economical and less error prone to do the plans with 3D modeling.
You don't have to use any plugins.
You can put your obsidian vault anywhere you like, e.g. in a folder that is synched by nextcloud.
I use a git repo for this, which works fine also on mobile.
In addition to that, many public libraries offer a service where one can lend ebooks. And this is integrated in the tolino.
This is based on some DRM system from Adobe, though.
But still, a nice thing as an additional source for ebooks.
