Does HN feel particularly slow to other people today? It usually loads for me in <500ms, and page loads are taking ~5 seconds now when other websites are completely fine.
Over the course of the last year I have been working on building a personal zettlekasten. I started in Notion, making several relational databases. However, after experiencing some down time, I decided to switch to Obsidian (<a href="https://obsidian.md/" rel="nofollow">https://obsidian.md/</a>) it's a much, much better program, does not have slowdown issues on my mac, is fully cross platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) and has a sync system that works pretty seamlessly. Not to mention that the files are all plain markdown and stored locally.
They blamed AWS<p>> For the last couple hours, Notion has been down. This is related to some difficulties Amazon Web Services is experiencing today. As of right now, our engineering team is all hands on deck working to restore service. We're confident these issues will be resolved soon, but in the meantime I'm so sorry for any problems or inconvenience this has caused. I know this is not ideal as everyone returns from break, and we'll be thoroughly investigating how to prevent outages like this in the future.

Is there a way around the issues that cause service interruption? I was using self-hosted until my ISP proved itself to be unreliable, and moved to notion hoping that another host would have an easier time. Same issues - i need to update my CRM and am basically locked out of it until notion figures out the outage problem. is there another similar project that is al little more fault tolerant?
Notion is about the only service today out of many other major platforms (see: <a href="https://downdetector.com" rel="nofollow">https://downdetector.com</a>) that cared to email me about the downtime. I’ve been a happy Notion user since about a year ago and this is probably the only one time I have experienced major downtime as far as I can remember.
