Well, then we should create open-source analog of notion. I actually was itching wondering what could I create in OSS realm. Probably will have a look at this task :)

That seems to be pretty hard. I just finished a long search for an Open Source one-page markdown editor (no split windows for preview and editing): the closest I could find was an editor called MarkText but even that doesn’t have half the functionality of Notion or Dropbox Paper. It’s hard to compete with fully funded and devoted teams.

  I've been looking for something too. GetCanvas (now defunct but released as open source) was wonderful, but seems abandoned. stackedit.io has been the closest that I could find.

Further down the page there's a mention of an OSS equivalent ("Outline"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18906118 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18906118 Haven't tried it out personally (only support signing in from Slack/Google), but it might be your kind of thing. :)

Trilium is close - it's _more_ flexible, (arbitrary scripts/css) but less 'for free' out of the box.
