Codidact and TopAnswers are independent projects, which share much of the same sentiment: a free and open source platform for Q&A with focus on the communities. I think their relationship can best described as being friends. While the overall goals of the platforms are similar, the exact approaches sometimes differ. For example TopAnswers has a nicely integrated chat, which makes it well suited for topics which might require some back and forth discussion with the OP to find a suitable solution. That was one of the main reasons a couple of friends and I started a TeX community there. Codidact on the other hand is a bit more a traditional Q&A site (with a nice modern design), which makes it easier for people who are used to SE. There is an overlap in the user base, myself included, and I've seen some other names pop up on both platforms.
