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.

Any notion replacement needs to be offline first and mobile first.
do you know any like this?
Are there any examples of something similar that has the ability to seamlessly interact with tables as well? Notion seems to be the only player in the space that effectively uses its tables as linkable databases, most similar products seem to either lack table functionality or they're just simple formatted text. So much of my daily work revolves around databases and Excel, I would love the ability to have multiple vi…
Logseq mostly does this, I think. Rather than starting with a table and adding objects to it, you start with the objects in your database — pages and blocks — and then form tables by querying your database for those objects based on their attributes (tags, contents, etc).
What I miss (but not enough to change) is the ability to have a plain Markdown page, and not only rely on bullets.
But again, Logseq is by far the closest to my style of taking notes (short, usually one/few lines blocks)
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!

Not the answer anyone was expecting, but SharePoint Online. Wiki pages, every list you create is a SQL table with a robust API, and the power platform is one of the best no/low code solutions available. I create full react applications around this and host the SPA in a SharePoint document library.
... I'm not sure if this is the greatest idea I've ever heard, or if I want to immediately run away screaming. I've always thought SharePoint was terribly slow, but that was just from experience interacting with the web interface itself. Does the API perform well? Or is there that same inherent latency to put up with? And do you have any general tips/ideas/learnings to share about using SharePoint in this way? I defi…
I am using obsidian on the Mac, but on the go I have no real solution. (I want to avoid using the obsidian mobile app because it forces you to use Obsidian Sync)
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.
Anyone has an alternative where I can use simple markdown files (in a folder or google drive) as the primary datasource? I am using obsidian on the Mac, but on the go I have no real solution. (I want to avoid using the obsidian mobile app because it forces you to use Obsidian Sync)
It's a web version of the Logseq software, it can import a local folder of MD notes.

What's the reason for such high praise for Notion? Asking honestly as I have used it and genuinely don't get the admiration.
aesthetics are very nice, and the slash menu mechanism + syncing make it nice when working with people. If Google docs looked nice this convo would be different but Google docs doesn’t look nice!
