It's a ripe space. I'm using notion mostly right now, but I've also used: -Coda.io (big, more scriptable player) -Hypernote (super new player, but with a cool new take on inter-note relationships) -Tiddlywiki (super customizable, really fast -- but also has a fair amount of footguns) -Airtable (only played with it a few times but it's usually mentioned in the same breath as notion, I notice) Hopefully someday we'll achieve Alan Kay's dream :)

If only Notion was private (like for example Omnifocus.) I can't imagine uploading all my private data to the cloud of a "free" app. OmniFocus is more expensive but i gladly pay to prevent my data from being analyzed & sold.

  I don't disagree -- though they do have a paid version, and a modest team size, which seems promising

I've only started using Tiddlywiki, so I didn't get the chance to dive deep. Can you mention some of the footguns?

  Just trying to make it save its state is difficult enough, there's a bunch of hoops to jump through and at least I have never actually managed to do it. It's one of those things I try every few years, fail and quit.

    Ok, I know what you mean. That kept me away as well for a while. What made it work for me was to use the desktop app first. Then, I made a setup with nodejs and that's what I'm currently using.

Airtable is fantastic for so many things, I only wish there was a cheaper "personal" plan with more records, for a couple of bucks / month. I can't really justify $10 / month for "just for fun" personal projects, and the 1200 records / base is too limited for many ideas (and also 5000 records for $10/month is on the low side as well, even if putting it as a company expense) Yes, I know, they got to eat and everything, and maybe cost vs income is not feasible for personal accounts.

Have you looked at Wiki.js? I played around with it a little bit and it seemed nice
