I'm excited about this MPL licensed tool and wanted to share; it's aiming to be a replacement to Notion, but self-hosted. It's not as feature rich (still in Beta) but it's a modern KMS/Collaboration tool that's looks to be on par with other proprietary options in the market. They seem to have some sort of capital backing because they have a team working on development.

My concern is how the pricing model will work and what features they will lock. They say that it will be free to self-host, but I feel like they will lock some features (most definitely their cloud service.) But if they only lock cloud hosting but allow self-hosting it will be pretty amazing for the self-hosting community.

The real FOSS alternative to Notion is called AppFlowy. And it already has a docker.

Have you used appflowy? How would you say it compares so far?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, it's still pretty rough because it's in early development stage, but blazingly fast thanks to Rust (and Dart?). And seeing how active development is right now gives good hopes.

AppFlowy isn't web based? I couldn't find an option to just run a server and access it via browser anywhere in the install instructions.

AppFlowy isn’t web based?

Interesting, I feel exactly the opposite. I'm far less inclined to use a web based tool. For a backend sync/storage or admin interface to a server? Sure. But for the user interface/business logic? Let me run it locally as a native program. To each their own I guess.

I need to be able to access it from both phone and PC, and in emergency from a random PC/phone. Also, I used the "share as web link" a lot in notion.

In addition it would be nice to be able to access it at work without having to install anything.

They have a separate repository for the server.

Certainly can be more than one.
