>The development velocity of the (TWO PERSON!) team behind this app is ridiculous

This! I just checked their page for a "careers" button to see if they got VC funding and are raising a team. Nope, still just 2 people. It's not that they are able to move fast, it's that they are moving fast while making a product that looks good, does the job, and is snappy. Kudos to the (2 person) team!

The product velocity is probably because it's only two people, not despite their team size.
It might also be because they're avid users of Obsidian itself.
Smaller teams move faster. This has always been true.

Scaling up teams is to deal with scope, not speed, and usually leads to much slower progress as processes and procedures are layered on top.
