Local Desktop apps:

Contrary to the promotion, the application is not a native client, as defined. The application is based on Electron, and, at least from a personal experience, it is unusable because it consumes an excessive amount of a system's resources. -

I still think people need a solid FOSS Notion alt, so it's just to fill that gap in a FOSS team's tooklit.

I'm about to test it on my vps-hosted Coolify which I run in addition to Cloudron. I'll check if that consumes a lot of resources or not. If that's a nice app, I might help to package it for Cloudron, if doable.

Unfortunately the AI features are not available yet for the self hosted version. I also found the tool Interface quite confusing. Maybe I'll wait and package something else, but I'm likely not the ideal target for Affine.

This looks good, I have launched a simple deployment via docker compose. Seems like a great Cloudron addition.

I'm going to get on the seesaw, too! I have this running on my Runtipi installation. That VPS has 8GB ram, and is also running 5 other apps (Photoprism is one, Obsidian LiveSync is another), and the CPU usage rarely goes over 15% for all of them. Memory fluctuates from 25% to 30%.
What I really like about it is the Journal aspect. Yeah, I know, I could just make a new file with the date and all that, but this presents you with a nice little spot for a journal entry. Helps me, mentally, to write in a journal.
I also like the macos and Android clients. Speedy syncing. I'd prefer to see this rather than Twenty!!
