Notion-like FOSS app
-
@loudlemur There is, but you will have to learn Python to do any useful customisations. The Odoo Studio, which is the most useful thing, is only available on the Cloud edition. There's so much missing from Flectra, I don't know why anyone would.

@yusf said in Notion-like FOSS app:
I just got into the Anytype alpha program. The hype is true. No selfhosting involved however (relies on IPFS).
Is it possible to collaborate on pages?
and publish them to the web? -
@jdaviescoates Not yet, unfortunately.

@yusf I am not familiar with the joy of Notion yet, but how about this:
Logseq
https://logseq.com/It is available now AGPL, so must have passed its scheduled security audit.
There is a Docker.https://github.com/logseq/logseq

Thanks @LoudLemur . https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4718/logseq-privacy-first-open-source-knowledge-sharing-and-management-platform-like-notion-roam-obsidian is the app request thread for those interested.

Reading all discussions here about Notion, which the OP is more than 3 years old, and as usual sometimes we tend to forget that time goes fast, but technology development goes even faster!
One thing must be understood about Notion is that, from the OP time there really was absolutely nothing like it and not even to compare to. Period. The only way to know that, is by having a somewhat deep dive into it as a trial. For at least a couple of hours, with a free account and start exploring Notion Templates. You'll be on your ...
Now, the 'mistake' we all often do is "judging a book by its cover", and so we often tend also to judge of the capacity of an app by the screenshots we're presented with. I do that too, and my first impression of Notion was not 'impressive'
Until you put your hands on it, once. What's unique (verily) about Notion is HOW things are implemented for you to do things. Without needing to connect several apps together in the first place, to achieve (at first glance) what could be achieved with all the apps in Cloudron as it has been suggested.
So, the reality is that, what was under the cover here that cannot be compared, is not WHAT you can achieve by using either Cloudron Apps or Notion. The reality that cannot be compared is HOW the workflow will be proceeded to achieve your goal, using one or another.
Of course, that never excludes that both can be used to achieve one's objectives. And, as usual and with the wave around here, a real FOSS ALTERNATIVE TO NOTION is what would be interesting to add to the Cloudron apps stack. Nothing less.
It seems like we're getting very close to it, for Notion lovers. And as close as can be, that would be AppFlowy right now. It's been mentioned here (and forgotten), but that was a couple of years ago.
As explained here on their blog, AppFlowy can now be self-hosted on Supabase (an open source alternative to Firebase) and anyone is free to try it out with a free Supabase account. NOW, what's very exciting, is that Supabase can also be self-hosted using ... ... Docker!
IMHO, AnyType is also great. However, I think it's an app much apart. I'm not saying this as a negative way. In the contrary, IPFS is amazing only one must be conscious that IPFS is what's in the back end of this app, which makes it an app in its own class. Nevertheless, the app is absolutely GREAT. One must try it as well.

Just to add to what @micmc just said:

No selfhosting involved however (relies on IPFS).
IPFS is the future!
