#32This isn't self-hosted? I'm interested in a self-hosted solution that uses local markdown files and directories to manage content.
This is one thing I've wanted. A local app that lets me store all my data with markdown syntax, syntax highlighting, in local files and directories, specifically for macOS although a cross platform app would be fine. One that doesn't require an account or the internet at all for it to work. I've wanted this kind of app for many years (and wouldn't be opposed to making it if no existing solution is all that great at i…
I use Quiver for this purpose.

#33This seems like a mash-up of Air Table and Quip. I'm curious to see how the functionality compares for day-to-day tasks.
And Coda.io

#34I've been working on a similar project more suited to my own tastes. It's free and online and in-progress. jumproot.com. Sure, it's self-promotion, but highly pertinent.
While your project seems nice, at this point in time there is little overlap with the concepts found in notion.
Did you publish a roadmap, that would allow us to differentiate it from something more like evernote?

(disclaimer: I'm building something similar) Why is it every time something like Notion is mentioned, there is always someone who wants "local, self-hosted, Markdown"? Just build it yourself. This clearly shows you have no understanding of the product at hand. Notion is so incredibly powerful that Markdown doesn't even scratch the surface here.

Why not? Is there something wrong with wanting a local, self-hosted tool? Or wanting to pay for it instead of building it yourself?

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
I haven't used either one in some time, but I would reframe the question: what makes you think this is similar to Basecamp? If you're familiar at all with Basecamp, 10 seconds on the page makes it clear how different it is. If you're not, I guess I don't understand why the question is asked.
I'm wondering too, I mean the interface is obviously completely different but it solves the same problems. Why is whatever this interface is better since I already enjoy basecamp? Edit: Also highly enjoy basecamp's pricing.
Does the linked page not answer this? That's what I'm confused about I guess.
In a nutshell, the biggest philosophical difference between the two is that Notion is "free form" while Basecamp has a sort of built-in workflow.
(Take this with a grain of salt, I haven't used Basecamp since shortly after they rolled out the new interface and it was much more limited then than it is now. And I've only briefly used Notion.)
Notion is sort of a wiki, with built in to-dos and spreadsheets. You can build your own workflow or adapt an existing template to how you work.

#37I love notion, been using it to collaborate with my friend on a project.

But they're trying to run a business, so why ask the question as if it's surprising?

#39For me, Notion replaced Evernote and I haven't looked back. Three features that have been particularly useful for personal productivity are
1) explicit support for Kanban board-ing tasks and similar to-do management
2) collapsible blocks
3) substantially smoother linking to, or embedding, notes within notes
Notion is just as sleek as Evernote for small independent notes, but these two features allow Notion to scale much better for projects that require an inter-related network of notes with substantial breadth and depth.

Many people care about things such as "what is this company doing with the data I store with them?"
And many people don't have the time or skill to "just build it yourself," so when something awesome like this comes along that looks really appealing, you get people asking for self-hosted options.
