I am a big fan of Notion but lately it's like they have been asleep on the driver seat. If they only offered custom extensions I think they would do so much better. I have recently switched to Obsidian but I am not fully committed yet, so i will give this a try. My only critic so far... It seems you copied one of my least favorite "features" from Notion which is to force a default "Title" column for the tables. I fin…

Thanks for your advice. Eidos is more like a PDM tool rather than a PKM tool, but it can be used as a PKM with some extensions, just as the introduction says, it's an extensible framework. I've used the tools you mentioned and more. None of them have a powerful table, which is one of the reasons I decided to create Eidos. Eidos can handle large amounts of data like Excel. Anytype/Outline cannot do this. I plan to fol…
If you allow dependency-included self-host (preferably via an application wrapper like Electron where I can use a firewall to control which outbound connections are allowed), support mobile devices, and charge a one-time fee for p2p sync (decentralized, like SyncThing), this will be an instant buy for me. Thought: Can you add a logout button? Also, please consider a name change so SquEnix doesn't sue you out of exist…
I really love this name. If I use Eidos Space, will there be trademark issues?
How do you deal with iOS deleting PWA data when unused? I'm building an app that relies on indexedDB, which afaik is the only persistent storage a PWA can access.
This looks cool. At first pass, I have one big question: are there any facilities or even just plumbing for syncing between installs / front-ends? SaaS/cloud approaches have real downsides in terms of ownership but the big upside is access from multiple points/devices (home desktop, browser on office machine, personal laptop, mobile device, etc). Obviously SaaS isn't the only way to do that, centralizing around self-…
P2P synchronization based on CRDT is on the roadmap.
I’ve been keeping an eye on these open source block based apps, and this kind of feels like you set out to scratch your itch and managed to release the most feature complete and polished one out there. Well done! Something about SQLite at the core just seems to drive a direction I like, and pushes an open ethos. (Shout outs to Grist in this arena as well.) So much power in such simple interfaces… and when I saw you c…
As a long-time dilettante in this space, I totally agree. I am all-in on Obsidian (and a long-term paying sync customer) which is imo peerless for note-taking, and of course the plugin ecosystem is very vibrant. But there’s no question that there’s something special about the core “block” abstraction used by Notion (and, I see, AnyType), in that it really does allow you to not only structure and display information i…
I was coincidentally looking at Anytype yesterday, but can't create my own extensions (and the database has no formula type for columns??).
Curious if there's something that's been around for 1 year+ and allows me to build my own extensions?
I have tried quite many such apps and keep returning to Tiddlywiki ( https://tiddlywiki.com/ ). It is not perfect, and the lack of hierarchy can be both a blessing and a curse. It uses flat-files which can impact performance and be more cumbersome than a database. Also, the integration with external files is a bit clumsy. However, the main strength is customizability. Various data is best presented in various ways, a…
How is it different to Obsidian?

What’s the shortcoming in iOS that has spawned a million notes clones
Yes, much like the shortcomings of Windows 95 that spawned a million Notepad clones in the form of IDEs, code-oriented editors, and Office (née Works?)-like suites.

Can you share some more promising entrants? I like op's solution because it's highly customizable, but too early/ buggy to replace Notion.

Please make it no-code friendly for one-click easy installation if possible ( Similar to how WordPress or Drupal can be installed )
Tangent! I really wanted to like Notion but it's not smooth enough for writing. The cell system makes it clumsy. I prefer to write on markdown files because it's much faster and I can do it on my text editor of choice. I like obsidian because it's basically that with a bit of extras. But then I lose the concurrent editing. I want Google Docs meets obsidian type of environment. And I am yet to find it. If any of you k…
