Oh, #Notion added webhooks. Finally! I'll likely use this in work projects at some point.

But for other projects... I've had a mindset shift since my 2020 Notion infatuation. I prefer to explore what's possible with #Obsidian, #anytype, #Supabase, #Pocketbase, #NocoDB & #AppFlowy; where long-term control & ownership is more clear.

AppFlowy is note-taking on steroids … but in its infancy: https://roadtohappinet.wordpress.com/2025/02/12/appflowy-is-note-taking-on-steroids-but-in-its-infancy/ #appflowy #opensource #collaboration

I have tried a LOT of #NoteTaking and #PKM applications:
#Obsidian
#Notion
#Logseq
#AppFlowy
#Anytype
#QOwnNotes
#OneNote
#SimpleNote

And I keep coming back to #Joplin again and again and again for its simplicity, it's transparency, and data portability.

Hi all. #PKM Weekly (26-Jan-25) is live:

#Capacities Update 45 and #logseq DB Version features (query table).

#tana ready for launch? Review of using Tana and Heptabase. #Obsidian Gems of winners and updated insider version.

Thank you as always for reading.

Ok need help from the #pkm people

I love #notion for the ability to have great templates great visual style easy remote publishing easy integration

I like #obsidian since it's offline first super fast clean and simple

I get stuck with notion due to it being a heaping pile of garbage in terms of performance and I get stuck in obsidian since every basic thing seems to require tons of setup such as publishing pages (withought paying through selfhosting) templates of things is rough creating spreadsheet comparison type tables is tough

Been looking at #anytype #affine #appflowy and finding myself going in circles

Help plez

AppFlowy. Heard of it? It's a FOSS take on Notion! https://appflowy.io/ I found it today while researching FOSS replacements for #obsidian.

I've... not had the best experience with Obsidian.

I poured, oh, maybe a hundred hours or more into making Obsidian into my dream KMS. Instead, what I did was make myself incredibly frustrated.

My "dream":
- Record information. Anywhere. Anytime. Even hands-free.
- Customizable
- "Power user"-friendly! This means - **keyboard navigation for all things**, folks! If you make me reach for a mouse, you've just interrupted me!

Obsidian is all of this except:
- Hands-free? That depends entirely on your OS. For iOS, you have to use Shortcuts.
- Customizable: it's an electron app BUT it's not FOSS and when writing JS for it (JS idiot that I am) you run into the classic "WTF is *this*" problem. The plugin system works but your JS doesn't have to get too complicated, or the data you operate on too large, before performance tanks **hard**.
- Keyboard navigation: there are toolbars and toolbars yet there aren't keyboard shortcuts, nor can you create keyboard shortcuts, for navigating the toolbars!

I just don't understand Obsidian's target market! I don't. It seems like a power tool but... not?

Sure, if I was a "real" power user (No True Scotsman fallacy...), I'd create keyboard shortcuts to just the (zillions) of commands that I use.

Yeah, no. While I need shortcuts to frequently used commands, I need a toolbar that exposes secondary, tertiary, et al commands in my workflow (such as it constitutes a "flow" at all but I digress) AND I need to have keyboard navigation of same.

I love the idea behind #obsidian but it feels like the worst kind of Swiss Army Knife to me—unless you truly just want a bunch of cross linked markdown files. If so, I understand #logseq will get you there too.

So, anyway, I'm going to try #appflowy. Maybe that won't explode my brain. And, as FOSS, it is really and truly customizable!

EDIT: FOSS from a startup. Gives me Hashicorp vibes. Hmmm
