So, there's Focalboard (<a href="https://www.focalboard.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.focalboard.com/</a>), Outline (<a href="https://github.com/outline/outline" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/outline/outline</a>) and Appflowy.<p>Has anyone compare these three Notion alternatives, yet? Would love to know, which one comes closest to the features of the original.
I don't know when this Notion thing took off but after recently being forced to use it at $DAY_JOB I don't get the hype. It feels like GDocs but with the directory embedded in the sidebar. Given how many people are rushing to clone it I must clearly be missing something.<p>Also their implementation of OT or CRDTs is horseshit, it failed miserably when there was ~6-7 of us updating a bulleted list at the same time.
I guess I greatly underestimated what Notion was -- I thought it was mostly a note-taking tool ("Evernote 2.0"), but Appflowy (and a visit to the Notion site again) makes it seem like a project management tool + wiki?<p>Notion is essentialy JIRA + Confluence + OneNote wrapped up in one (not implying anything about the quality of the products just their competencies)?<p>[EDIT] - A possibly disturbing/pleasing thought -- is Notion Chat on the horizon?
Using rust and flutter for a project like this seems to me, that the authors just searched for a project to learn/use a new skillset?<p>Although, an interesting stack, this is definitely not boring technology, so the innovation tokens will be used probably with flutter web.
I am enjoying the fact very much that there are more and more visible efforts to make modern, free and (post-)open alternatives to commercial software.<p>What I am still not understanding is how designers and programmers can make a living when "everybody" uses cheap and decentralized (Yunohost, etc.) cloud instances.
Sorry for the tangent, but is anyone aware of any open source alternative to workflowy (quite a bit different to notion, a lot simpler, usually described as an infinite outliner)?<p>I really got on with that whilst I was briefly using it, but it being proprietary was a bit of a concern
Another (largely unheard-of) alternative to Notion is <a href="https://www.larksuite.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.larksuite.com/</a> , by ByteDance. It's quite good.<p>(I hope I didn't just start a political / ideological debate because I mentioned ByteDance.)
Outline is another (more mature) option: <a href="https://github.com/outline/outline" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/outline/outline</a>
Why does this sound so much like Workflowy[1]?<p>[1] <a href="https://workflowy.com/" rel="nofollow">https://workflowy.com/</a>
