The application looks nice but… Why do all these Notion “replacements” seem to think Notion is just an MD editor and note taker. It seems the unique position of notion is the ability to integrate databases into documents much less within each other. That’s the feature most of these replacements are missing. Honestly if Notion would offer a self hosted version for companies, that would be a killer feature. Until then, I’m waiting until a feature for feature open source replacement appears. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think the project mentioned here is very cool and something I am looking for, will definitely try it out. But highly agree that calling it a Notion replacement/alternative is mislabling it. But I've seen this often on HN nowadays, any note-taking application = Notion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks for saying that. Just came here wanting to write the same. The db feature and the reminders are the most missed features in notion alternative. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Honestly if Notion would offer a self hosted version for companies, that would be a killer feature Cloud hosting is the killer feature. No one wants to be in the hosting business. There are enough other things for a company to worry about. Managing servers, deployments, zero downtime upgrades, security patches, monitoring CVEs, auth, 2FA, lost passwords, DDoS attacks, database maintenance, sharding, migration, load balancing, caching, DNS, reliability, latency, uptime, load testing, a million different dashboards, 24x7 on call... Paying $10/mo to offload all of this is a steal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is not a full notion replacement yet. But having team workspaces is around the corner as well as other knowledge management features. |
