Notion’s macOS app is some of the worst software I’ve ever used. If there is a platform design idiom, they likely break it without a second thought.

It loves to hog disk space for some reason. An hour after installing, service workers are using 7gb. I have very few files uploaded so I don’t know what it’s caching.

Very timely. I literally ran a Claude prompt "compare and contrast Notion vs Obsidian" and flipped over to HN while it was thinking, and this comes up. Thanks HN!

I switched from Obsidian to Joplin years ago. Its completely FOSS and can sync with your private Nextcloud instance.

Apparently this is officially documented at https://www.notion.com/help/public-pages-and-web-publishing#... buried in a note: > When you publish a Notion page to the web, the webpage’s metadata may include the names, profile photos, and email addresses associated with any Notion users that have contributed to the page.

This is, as a notion user with public pages, beyond stupid.

Demonstrating what hypertext is capable of.

Thanks, exactly, that's what I meant to say.

For a personal knowledge base? I would stay far away from anything proprietary for personal notes. I love logseq though I'm increasingly worried it's abandonware

You don't lose anything from the proprietary nature of Obsidian because it's just markdown files all the way down.

I self host https://www.getoutline.com/ instead, they might not have the latest AI features but it has everything I could ask for from a Notion alternative.

Big companys need to start caring more security and privacy of its users and employees

People need to start voting in politicians who will meaningfully punish corporations who don't.

More importantly people need to start voting out politicians who refuse to. It's easy to elect people because of things they promise, but its what they actually do that matters.

Logseq was captured by VC a long time ago. They switched from open files to a database, their synching product is closed source (not selfhostable), and they have built-in telemetry.

But all the Joplin data is not in Markdown files sadly.
