Real question, not a rhetorical one.

Tchap looks neat as a Slack alternative, but it seems like it's still only for government workers.
* Allows more than one user editing the same page at once
* Is accessible on a mobile device (either app or mobile browser)
* Can be at the very least viewed in read only mode if disconnected from the internet
The last point is the most important to me and frustratingly has been the most elusive for me to find. For now I use Notion with the hopes they implement it eventually. I can't consider switching to a self hosted alternative without the last point.
Looking at how much infrastructure needs to be spun up, I don't really see this as a good solution for personal note taking. If you use the Docker environment, you spin up 10 or more containers... including KeyClock. I get that this is intended to by hosted by a company or an organisation, but plenty of people are using Notion just as individuals. Most people would be better of with Obsidian, Bear, Notion or even App…

Does this provide database functionality like seen in Notion? I'm always disappointed by note-taking tools calling themselves a Notion alternative when they do not provide an alternative to Notion and are instead just another note-taking tool with a simple UI. If you want to be a Notion alternative provide the things that make Notion great, e.g. the database functionality. It's okay to be a simple colaborative notes…
This could also take the form of a custom block that you could embed in a text document.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Personally, even if this software wouldn't be 1:1 capable of replacing the established players, it still feels like a good idea. With how much people (rightfully) complain about how open source is underfunded and with how often we're forced into borderline exploitative dealings with the established players in the market (the likes of MS Office, Adobe products, Atlassian products, even some Oracle stuff), funding the…
Notion is not an example of delightful software and it is very much one of the most reproducible apps ever. I don't know how they managed to make it fashionable amongst startups, but it's certainly not because it's an innovative product.
What Notion has built is amazing.
When leadership tells us our job is to replace Microsoft Office. I say it's not
This is Libre Office's job. While I truly admire this community’s work. If I ever get anywhere close to their level I’ll consider myself lucky. They do important work and I hope they continue for may years .
I’m not trying to replace Microsoft Office because work has changed.
As it came online, it became collaborative.
What’s replacing Microsoft isn’t perfectly similar alternatives to text editing, spreadsheets and slides which are tools that were made for formatting more than content editing.
These were meant to be printed to be shared.
What’s actually replacing Microsoft Office are tools like Notion.
Nowadays content is created in real time with 4, 6 or more pair of hands typing at the same time. ⌨
The way we actually replace Microsoft Office is by building products that follow the change in usage like Notion has been doing.
That’s what we need to do as an opensource community.
Adopting Notion won't do in times like we're living as states (hell, all of us!) we need strategic digital autonomy.
The product of our collaborative work is knowledge, we can't have it siphoned because it's sitting on an American server.
Notion has been leading the content over form revolution for a while now.
But revolutions are our thing right ?
We like to start them, but it's way more fun when they spread to the whole continent
