Are there any open source Notion alternatives? This is the main benefit of open source software, in my mind: no one can "take" it from you because it doesn't belong to "them" in the same way that a product does.
- brnt 6y agoI'm a happy user of QOwnNotes and Markor with a shared dir with a sync tool of your choice. Indeed, committing my data to a closed (source) silo is what prevents me from using tools like this (Notion does look very neat).

- eugeniub 6y agoYeah I don't think Joplin has collaboration features. I also found the UI to be extremely bad on iOS. BookStack doesn't have any client apps — it's basically a PHP app like WordPress that you can self-host, but the collaboration feature set is pretty good. It's a wiki that feels a bit like Notion.
- tommoor 6y agoOutline could be an alternative if your main usecase was internal team documentation. I understand that Notion can be used for a lot of other things too… It is BSL licensed, the only restriction is that you cannot run a hosted version for other organizations to use (aka compete with the only way the project maintains itself). https://www.getoutline.com/ https://www.getoutline.com/
- bibinou 6y agoIt's a wiki. MediaWiki has a lot of dynamic features now.
- elbear 6y agoI use Tiddlywiki. The good part is that, once you familiarize yourself with the internals, you can customize it any way you like. https://tiddlywiki.com/ https://tiddlywiki.com/
- slightwinder 6y agoNo. There are tools doing similar stuff of some aspects of Notion. But the main benefit of Notion is the interface and collection of ability. And there is nothing like that at the moment. But the question is what you really want. Maybe you are just care for some specific aspect, not the whole tool?
