At the risk of sabotaging stuff I've worked on, it's _astoundingly easy_ to glue together Y.js, prosemirror, and a little bit of express.js to get a distributed Notion clone with conflict free resolution. Like I have something that I got working in 3 days with multiple pages, so links between things, and cursor syncing (most of this work is provided by wonderful people with full-featured libraries!). There's some tri…

fyi, from my experience it’s still quite a lot of work to build on top of Prosemirror and TipTap directly to do so. So I’ve started working on https://www.blocknotejs.org to make this even easier for developers; its a batteries-included library with Notion style UI elements out of the box. Definitely bullish on this ecosystem including Yjs and local first dev!

blocknote looks very nice! I am unsure why I didn't take this as an option earlier, as I think I looked at it. I will check it out.

FWIW I picked up prosemirror because I have experience working with CodeMirror 6, and I trust the general model to be right, if complicated to use. But honestly I might not need the level of complications provided by PM.

Any notion replacement needs to be offline first and mobile first.

do you know any like this?

The best self hosted alternative of Notion I have found is Outline[1] The link describing the infra[2] is an example of how it looks. [1] github.com/outline/outline [2] https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/requirements-ULdYn...

This project is not open source but instead uses the “Business Source License”. I only mention this in case open source is something that is important to you.

Notion is goat-ed! It's one of the greatest software ever created in our time imho. Y.js sounds amazing – gonna have to look into it! Have been using Liveblocks for real-time data stuff, the DX is a breeze to work with!

Notion is just a OneNote alternative.
