I’m excited about this MPL licensed tool and wanted to share; it’s aiming to be a replacement to Notion, but self-hosted. It’s not as feature rich (still in Beta) but it’s a modern KMS/Collaboration tool that’s looks to be on par with other proprietary options in the market. They seem to have some sort of capital backing because they have a team working on development.
My concern is how the pricing model will work and what features they will lock. They say that it will be free to self-host, but I feel like they will lock some features (most definitely their cloud service.) But if they only lock cloud hosting but allow self-hosting it will be pretty amazing for the self-hosting community.
Would this work as a note taking solution? I moved from notion.so to synology note station and while it works it leaves a lot to be desired.
I’m using it for notes yeah. I switched from Obsidian to it, but it’s still missing some features, for example their table functionality isn’t up to par with Notion or AppFlowy yet.
This looks interesting - I was an early notion adopter but haven’t used it in ages. Have you used affine yet? The demo leaves a lot to be desired on mobile at least, but I’m going to keep an eye on it!
The downloadable version (canary) is a bit more polished.
If it’s not FOSS I’ll stick with Logseq, thanks. I’m trying to transition everything I do online and on computers in general to FOSS.
The real FOSS alternative to Notion is called AppFlowy. And it already has a docker.
AppFlowy isn’t web based? I couldn’t find an option to just run a server and access it via browser anywhere in the install instructions.
They have a separate repository for the server.
Have you used appflowy? How would you say it compares so far?
Well, it’s still pretty rough because it’s in early development stage, but blazingly fast thanks to Rust (and Dart?). And seeing how active development is right now gives good hopes.
Certainly can be more than one.
It is FOSS, it’s MPL licensed and the source code is on github.
