If you like Notion but are looking for something open source, similarly polished and more wiki-focused then this will be up your street - http://getoutline.com We've been building it for 2 years, happy to answer questions.
Looks awesome! Any plans for mobile apps?

It's surprising that I (for personal use) and my company (commercial use) would be willing to pay good money for the ability to run this app on-prem? Personal data notwithstanding we have data we put in our company wiki that is simply not allowed to be hosted on cloud services without lots of red tape and compliance certifications. Offering a on-prem option, at least for us, pushes all that responsibility onto our op…
The problem is that what you consider "good money" is probably not even close to making such a product a viable business. Their personal plan is $4/month. Maybe one in a few hundred people (let's say 500 for easy math) would want self-hosted version. Are you willing to pay $2000/month for a note-taking application? I doubt it. Not to mention the support burden of trying to figure out why something doesn't work on you…
Self-hosting nerds like myself would be able to get by on a no-support 'community edition' for like $10-15/mo.

Suppose your company handles a fair bit of confidential information, and some of that information ends up in Notion as part of your general project management workflow. Now you've got to worry about Notion experiencing a data breach, and whether or not that breach could get you in hot water with your clients, or even into legal trouble. With on-prem o…
> It's possibly something many of us should care more about, though. Definitely, but I'd argue that even with containers etc., we don't yet have the capabilities to make what we know is right, as easy to operate as SaaS. > Suppose your company handles a fair bit of confidential information, and some of that information ends up in Notion as part of your general project management workflow. Many folks that post to HN s…
That's usually a sign of an IT department not listening to the needs of their end users.
Been a paid user for a while. I love all the UI elements, markdown support, cross-platform compatibility etc. I have used Evernote, Simple Note and Boostnote previously. Some problems however: Desktop app takes a while to load. I understand it's electron, but so are Slack and VSCode. I am ready to keep it open on Mac. But on pressing Cmd+W, it closes the app, though not quit. Re-opening from that state is still slow.…
