In the age of Claude Code having real-time collaboration + local-first markdown + easy to write custom plugins is the future. It makes no sense to lock up your documents in a saas product that gatekeeps your access to using AI on your own documents.

That's why I've been working Relay [0] - a privacy-preserving local-first collaboration plugin for Obsidian.

Our customers really like being able to self-host Relay Servers for complete document privacy while using our global identity system to do cross-org collaboration with anyone in the world.

We offer Notion MCP since most users prefer the ease of GUI, but agree that Claude code CLI + markdown files is handy. If we had the Obsidian md style sync we could sync to an obsidian vault in a Git repo just as well. We have lots of docs in Notion as you might imagine and having them synced into the git repo could improve their hit rate w Claude and all the other menagerie of code agents without needing to hook them all up w MCP and waste time on remote tool calls.
