Affine is the next-generation collaborative knowledge base for professionals.

Wow, this looks super solid.

I've tried AppFlowy twice before and have been underwhelmed both times.

The pace of development seems to be much slower, but AFFiNE appears to be much more feature-rich.

Will keep an eye out for this one.

Affine is promoted as an alternative to Notion, Monday and Mito. I read "Managing multidimensional tables should be as easy - and it is now." but I didn't see any example of a table or database (like Mito does) usage.

I know, Affine is in alpha stage, really interesting but maybe I looked wrong

Mito

miRo, not miTo - totally different things

@jeau Hi, the affine's database is pretty much done and will be released soon this month later, and also the client version is going to be released as well together since it fully supports the slick offline use and data privacy. Can keep an eye on its official website: https://affine.pro/, more info is coming soon!!

It seems like the development is still moving rapidly.

Looks like my timing was just a little off. Selfhosted version of Affine was released, but from speaking to a friend, there were some issues with it and people had difficulty getting it up and running. Docs were updated several times as recently as yesterday. So it might be best to wait for the dust to settle.

And also from the developers :

I would like to clarify that the pricing details currently displayed on our pricing page pertain exclusively to our cloud-based version. We are in the process of developing a distinct pricing structure for our self-hosted solution, which will encompass a variety of offerings and commitment levels tailored to meet diverse needs.

So maybe wait as well for the self-hosted business model to be finished

Look amazing ! Would ne great to have an image

[lukas]

Oh yes, please add it

[CBCUN]

There are updates:

Please make this happen

@marcusquinn
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.

[marcusquinn]

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