Are there any really good Notion alternatives? Preferably Open Source?
- quartet4 3y agoMaybe obsidian.md?
- Kalpeshbhalekar 3y agoGreat! Any thoughts on Appflowy or Focalboard? (Source: https://atlas.scoutflo.com/?q=notion https://atlas.scoutflo.com/?q=notion)
- PurpleRamen 3y agoObsidian is very different from Notion, I wouldn't call it an alternative. And all the plugins which try to replicate some Notion-features, are not really on pair in terms of quality, and seem to be mostly dead anyway.
- PurpleRamen 3y agoCoda is the better alternative, pretty much on the same level, but with a different focus and polished at other parts I would say. Appflowy (open source) might become some day an alternative, but it's still in development, and somewhat lacking. I would give it another 1-2 years. There are also many other direct alternatives, in the sense to be a 1:1 clone, like Microsofts Loop or Zenkit Hypernotes(?), and a bunch of Open Source-Projects, but they all are very early in their development, or just lacking here an there, so I would more call them future alternatives.

- fattybob 3y agoHave a look at FSNotes, I use it on Mac and iOS and it works well for me, I previously used notational velocity and loved it, have also a liking for Joplin but it doesn’t synch as easily as I would like, FSNotes does all really well! I tried Notion, it was not for me in so many ways!
- q0uaur 3y agoI've started using Trilium notes and so far it's decent. Haven't used notion much though, it's very possible power users will miss many features - i'm just casually taking notes in it. love having a self-hosted sync server, and it also comes with a decent "export to text files" option in case i want to switch again.
