I have heard of Obsidian before; is it some kind of documentation/notes thing?

The stuff in the blog post sound great, so as long as the code is open and modifiable by users, I might take a look.

It's a markdown based notes app. They do have Obsidian Publish which is a static site publishing/hosting tool from the notes that you could use for docs, but honestly I'd suggest something more explicitly designed for multi user for a documentation use case.

Yep, like Notion. The main difference is that it stores all the data in text files on your drive/repo

I find the “principled software” part a bit hard to believe, considering bootstrapped companies change owners too, but the editing files part is interesting. In tina cms [1] they have “visual editing”, which is the concept of editing stuff visually but pushing boring markdown/text files to github. Visual editing is an interesting way to avoid vendor lock-in but still provide a UI based way of doing things with text files.
