FOSS alternative to Notion? (fedia.io)

Do you know any open source alternatives to Notion? I found a few FOSS apps, but they all lack most of Notion features

Possibly Logseq fits your purposes.

Joplin I think, or Trillium but that one could be less user friendly.

[–] Fitik@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

Check out Anytype too

This looks really nice. Thanks!

Report back if you get a chance to try it. I find the learning curve and is struggling to get a hang of it but I want to get a hang of it lol

It's bit hard to wrap my head around it. I think I'll give joplin a try, if that doesn't work out then maybe I'll give anytype another go.

I tried anytype and moved to logseq because in anytype I couldn't reorder blocks.

I tried it and somehow I cannot wrap my head around how this works. My head wants folder structure.

https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy is built to be an alternative to Notion. They jumped on the AI wagon as well and their website is more corporate-like that I remembered, but you might give it a shot :)

There's affine.pro too which seems similar

@Fitik
2 possible paths forward:

+ Dokuwiki with some plugins for templates and lists and tables. On a web server.

+ Org-mode and Org-roam (a looot more than Notion). Local.

Maybe TidlyWiki, but I don't know it personally.

How much do you need real-time collaboration?
:)

[–] Fitik@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't need real time collaboration at all, but I would prefer synchronization between my devices

Thanks for suggestions!

@Fitik
Then both mentioned options could work. They are different in the balance between simplicity (#dokuwiki is easier) and power (#org-mode has #emacs behind).
Both have huge ecosystems, great documentation, vibrant communities and are rock solid. Dokuwiki is accessible on a website (in the net or in your machine) and org-mode mostly on your machine but it is super easy to replicate or export for use in many devices.
I"ll happily expand if you choose any of those, :)
