It’s true that the organizational model of the file system and desktop metaphor should be usable for this.
There’s another huge gap though: documents in your local machine don’t have easy to use hypertext. Apple Notes app is very nice, but neither it nor TextEdit nor Pages can do what a Notion document can do. The OS needs a HyperCard to make it adopt Web-native tools for thinking.

- whats_a_quasar 3y agoYeah, to expand Obsidian is almost exactly what you're describing. It's a wiki-like software that works entirely on markdown and data on the file system. Has similar functionality to Notion but feels more like an IDE
- swalling 3y agoGotcha. I think I never dug into it because normal people generally don’t want to write in Markdown. The effort in doing that and manually managing cloud sync isn’t worth it. Apple needs to build it with WYSIWYG and have it work out of the box with iCloud.
