This is so well made. I love the concept and the ambition of the idea. Good luck!

You can access it via web with any modern web browser, so does it matter?
Then why bother with the desktop client at all?
Some people like to have things in separate apps (even if they are not native) just so you can open and close it quicker than finding it in your tabs or getting distracted by all the other content open in your browser.
That's why there are apps packaging websites in apps too: https://meetfranz.com

https://www.scootersoftware.com/index.php - (I'm not the OP but I favour Araxis Merge https://www.araxis.com/merge/index.en over Beyond Compare)
I prefer FileMerge. Built in to osx/xcode I believe.
Give Semantic Merge a try https://www.semanticmerge.com

#384Looks nice, but I am uneasy putting this kind of information into an opaque platform. Google, Salesforce, a self-hosted wiki...not going anywhere plus options to export and move.
If it were a desktop app with a local sqlite DB then, yes, definitely (for single user). If I could run a network security and host it on my company intranet, absolutely.

These types of "services" should be opt-in, not opt-out.
In the EU they are by law. In reality not all websites disclose all services they share data with though. And all users click accept in the cookie pop-up anyway.
FullStory is not opt in.

#386Like Notion a lot and we looked at a number of the modern wiki tools (cloud based). vs Confluence it is much faster. We did end up with Confluence, but that wasn't my first choice. vs Samepage it just felt a lot more modern. That might be harsh, but we only had a limited time to eval all the options. vs Quip, well, it's Salesforce. The sales was spammy and you just know how hard the sale will be if you've ever used t…
Yeah, a draw.io integration would have been great.

#387Hmm, I cannot seem to create an account without sharing my Google contacts; which I see no need to do and it's needless friction. I get into a loop of clicking checkbox "I don't want to share my Google contacts", then being rerouted back to login page and requested approval to share my contacts. Pricing wise, I wish these types of apps didn't have such a steep escalation as soon as I want to share. $4 for individual,…
Same here — I cannot create an account with a password. If you try to go in and do an email signup, they will punish you for it by emailing you every time with a new password, until you suffered enough that you'll relent and give them access to your Google account. Not a great first impression — especially not after their support tells me that this is for my own security.
Wow. Thanks for the warning. Why the fuck would anyone be so user-hostile?

#389If they added mind map as a progression, that would be the perfect tool. I really need a hybrid text editor/ list editor / mind map

#390Used notion for about 6 months, but stopped for two main reasons:
1. It's extremely slow on even a new iPhone - about 6-7 seconds until I can start typing a note. By then I forget what I wanted to write. It's basically a webview of a very heavy web app, so it's not snappy at all.
2. No offline support whatsoever.
In addition it feels like they have abandoned development or are busy being acquired (~bi-weekly updates until about three months ago: https://www.notion.so/What-s-New-157765353f2c4705bd45474e5ba...)
I migrated back to Bear (https://bear.app/) which was a pain - exporting from Notion is also not one of their best features.
