Been using Capacities for a very short time, but for me it's the best blend of all the tools I wished I were using, but aren't for a reason or another:
Notion: I love the databases, structure format, but usability 'gotchas' or the lack of mobile input or linked items keeps me from using it long-term
Obsidian: Having to manage my own installs, too fiddly to make it what I want, and the mobile app not having mobile-first features keep me from using or recommending it, despite it being amazing desktop software.
Roam & others: Eh... I need a mobile app and it seems some of them have burned their userbases with poor product decisions.
What I like about Capacities:
It has the right amount of 'Obsidian + Roam + Notes + Notion', I can leave notes, link them easily, but not worry about the fiddly management of a client on various platforms.
It has mobile capture, I can send to Capacitie's mobile app, or use whatsapp chat to capture a mobile link (very key for me).
Enough structure if I want it, but I can also just ship it a link, and it remembers it in the 'weblinks' collection, if I don't send it somewhere specific.
And this was built with 3 people? Take my money, and hopefully there's a bright future for Capacities.
