AFFiNE - open-source Notion, Miro, Monday, Outline, Appflowy alternative

Thanks @andreasdueren
I'm trying
Yet we are not the only ones suffering from this product making things unnecessarily more complicated than it should : https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/discussions/11722#discussioncomment-14674564Even after trying your options I feel I'll just give up with AFFINE. This tool just feels like rushed to support specific scenarios and is difficult to adapt to my scenarios. The UI just does not fit my expectations. Compared to many tools I'm using, the quality is a bit inconsistent and UX is not helpful.
I had already attempted to use AFFINE in the past in a Cloudron competitor for self host and I gave up. My hope that it would be better in Cloudron has just vanished for now.I might retry later, anyway for now I guess I'm better off vibe coding a simple markdown editor for myself
with Mistral integration and sync to my Obsidian.EDIT: @andreasdueren I've read about selfhosted=true parameter that need to be passed in order to enable third party API/AI models. https://torchtree.com/en/post/affine-selfhost-ai-configuration/ via https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/discussions/11722#discussioncomment-14980258
Maybe worth trying as a last attempt...@SansGuidon said in AFFiNE - open-source Notion, Miro, Monday, Outline, Appflowy alternative:

Yes, people are struggling. But this is still Alpha software (version 0.25.5 right now) so some instabilities are permissable. It does look pretty powerful but they are open about AI features on self-hosted not having feature parity yet.

selfhosted=true parameter
This is already passed in the package

@andreasdueren When I try the affine demo, it says "Your local data is stored in the browser and may be lost. Don't risk it - enable cloud now!" . Is this how it is in your package also? Where are the documents saved?
@Joseph Data is stored locally if you don't connect it with their hosted service or a self-hosted instance.

@andreasdueren in /app/data or browser?

I've been using AFFiNE on RunTipi for quite awhile now. It started with me just wanting to check it out, but not expecting at all that I'd l branch off from my well-established routine with Joplin and Vikunja, with a dab of Trilium Notes and Outline. Well, what do you know, it's now my second most used note and writing prep destination. SO, if it gets on Cloudron, I'd switch my instance to the Cloudron one (gettipi is more for trying out apps, for me).

@timconsidine Probably? Not sure. By and large, if it doesn't show up in my Cloudon App Store I don't install it (with the exception of some of your apps!).

@timconsidine Nope. That was before those existed. Is anyone using this package? If so I'll udpdate and set up CI/CD
