Another FOSS Notion alternative. Built with Flutter & Rust.

@marcusquinn nice find. Looks very early days though, so just one to keep an eye on for now methinks.

Very nice! I just wanted to create a thread for it when I found it as a new cask while updating Homebrew.

Honestly, for anyone wanting this as a documentation/wiki, I think Documize is likely a more mature and collaborative solution:

Appflowy is definitely more replicating Notion, and Documize is taking on Confluence.

What do we use? EspoCRM Knowledgebase! For me, the question with every other app now is always going to be: can we just do this in Espo? In every case so far, the answer has been yes.

The question from across the fence is - How?

[marcusquinn]

@robi Design and build with the Entity Manager. Almost all apps are CRUD+API. Espo just makes it very easy to design with that already in place.

@marcusquinn Perhaps you can offer up a few examples and or templates in another topic?

[marcusquinn]

@robi I thought you had access to my GitLab repo? DM me your GitLab account handle if not and I can add you.

0.2.2 is out today. Seems like they are making great progress with lots of regular releases:

Is NextCloud a notion alternative?

[marcusquinn]

@LoudLemur It can be. Nextcloud Text is very good, and there's now a Tables Add On.

Documize might be the closest we have, otherwise.

Honestly, I stay away from Notion, as it's a data trap.

They seem to have move ahead by leaps and bound, after all it's been almost 2 years since the OP.

New release a few days ago and we can see there's 3-4 updates per month for a while.

They've even added an AI module in March 23.
"️ v0.1.1 brings the power of OpenAI into your AppFlowy pages. Ask AI to write anything for you in AppFlowy. Learn more about AppFlowy + OpenAI.️"

What else, Dockerized? Yes, it is!

Their roadmap seems to be on fire.

UPDATE
I've just added an update to the previous Notion thread here.
