The plan for Obsidian is to never grow beyond 10-12 people, never take VC funding, never collect personal data or analytics.

Continue building with the assumption that software is ephemeral, files matter more than apps. Use formats that are open and durable.

Love it.

How do you find this affects hiring? Do you find it easier or harder to attract good talent with these principles?

we don't hire, so it's not a problem 😆

sorta kidding, but not really — everyone on the team spent at least 1-2 years as a community contributor

The community member to team thing is really.... Nice
