AppFlowy

There are already quiet a few softwares that claim to be Notion alternatives or seem to be: - AppFlowy: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy - AFFiNE: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE - SiYuan: https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan - Trillium Next: https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes - AnyType (only clients are source available): https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-ts

AppFlowy is pretty notable. https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy

Hey I recently stumbled upon AppFlowy (https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy), an open-source project that caught my attention. It's essentially a Notion-like workspace, but with a twist: Built with Flutter (front-end) and Rust (back-end) Fully open-source and self-hostable Focuses on data privacy and ownership What I find interesting: The tech stack choice - combining Flutter's UI capabilities with Rust's performance It's positioning as a privacy-focused alternative to Notion The potential for customization and extension due to its open-source nature

In case if you want some Evernote alternatives, here's my shortlist: 1. Trilium Notes: https://github.com/zadam/trilium 2. AppFlowy: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy 3. Affine: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE 4. Joplin: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin 5. Dendron: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron (requires VSCode) As a programmer I liked Dendron the most but if you want it to be packed with absolute features, try Trilium Notes (but some considered it to be feature creep and bloated)

It seems like there's a lot of recent interest and effort in open-source or self-hosted Notion-like/markdown-with-widgets applications and platforms. AppFlowy (https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy) comes to mind; I attended one of their monthly "town hall" meetings a few months back, and looks like they're rapidly increasing in popularity. I think there was another similar project like this on HN front page last week, IIRC. This makes me happy, because I switched to Obsidian primarily for local-first file storage in a platform-agnostic format. I've learned to love many things about Obsidian and am writing a few plugins myself, but there are still several Notion-esq functionalities I wish I had, and I find myself handing off between Obsidian and other webapps for certain effort, like team project management. I used to get far more excit

Some very neat semantic-web looking ideas on the screens here. The word is a huge turn off for a lot people, but that's a pity. There were a lot of problems (a very isolated ivory-tower community high among them), but there's ideas about making data common & open that are very compelling. It's not really data... just a general systems ability to have things, in information spaces. I haven't spent much time with Notion, but the data-centric model is interesting. I was really interested a couple months ago to find out Roam uses Datomic under the hood[1][2], that this data-centric model deeply underpins it's capabilities. Amusingly, there was another open-source Notion project that sprung up right around then, AppFlowy[3].
