Notion ( https://notion.so ) All in one workspace, combines, trello, airtable, evernote, and docs. Great embed support and awesome for small teams and personal use. It's a modern day commonplace book.

I love Notion as a tool to use personally but it does not scale well. I was part of a working group that introduced Notion at my company and it worked great for a few months. Now that we have hundreds of pages it's _extremely hard_ to find the content that you're looking for. The search functionality is completely broken at scale to the point it recommends pages where the keyword you're looking for is in a paragraph over a page whose title is that keyword.

Beautiful looking product. Any plans for a self-hosted version? Cloud based storage of a lot of information I deal with is a no go.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately we have no plans for a self-hosted version. We understand that this is a no go for certain companies and types of information.

Any reason that you can share? This looks great, so much better than confluence, but it’s hard to store all of this on someone else’s servers. I’d love to have a self hosted version, of you ever decide to.

Nuclino ( https://www.nuclino.com/ ) It's a minimalist wiki with markdown support and real-time collaboration features. A lot faster and more lightweight than most of the old school wikis e.g. Confluence, MediaWiki, SharePoint (ugh). Also has a kanban board view for sprint planning.

Thanks for mentioning us (I'm the CTO)! Let me know if you have more feedback or questions.

How can I contact you?

I love TikiWiki for very elaborate setups.

These days, I use a GitMarkdown based hosting. I also wrote a small Flask script to serve contents from the repo. This makes it Heroku-able.

For non-technical team it is self hosted WordPress, goggle docs and google websites. For dev team google docs for project specs and documentations written as .md files on a separate doc repo.
