Comparison
We'll tell you honestly when the other one is the better choice for you.
Obsidian's values are close to ours. Local-first, plain format, no venture hype, a small bootstrapped team. We admire it. The difference is who has to do the work, and who the work is for. Obsidian rewards one person willing to invest weeks building the web of their own thinking. Confinity is for a whole household, and it does the connecting for you: name the people and places you love, and the links form on their own, with nothing to set up and nothing to maintain. One parent can write with a little help finding the words, the other in their own plain voice, and a grandparent can add a photo without learning a thing. It all quietly gathers into a Yearbook. We share the same values. Where we part ways is the effort it takes, and who it's really for.
