  1. AFFiNE is an open-source, local-first workspace that combines documents, whiteboards, databases, and collaboration in one platform. It supports offline use, self-hosting, real-time sync, and works as a privacy-friendly alternative to Notion and Miro.

  2. So #notion has now forced its new sidebar on everyone. Sigh. I'm so tired of chasing their UI with custom CSS just to avoid their user-hostile feature adoption strategy. I have tried switching to something else a few times. Looks like it's time to try again.

  3. Three or four years ago, I highly praised Notion as a platform for syncing notes between my computer and phone, a way to organise thoughts, links and ideas, and a single hub where I could plan future projects and draft articles and book chapters. That was before they became popular and started adding corporate features. That was before they crammed AI into every nook and cranny.

  4. Hot take: PARA is a great concept with a hierarchy problem. And for autistic and ADHD brains, that problem is not minor. It is the reason most people abandon their Notion setup entirely.

    Episode 2 of the SuperBrain series covers why I replaced PARA and what I built instead: a system designed specifically for the way neurodivergent brains actually work.

  5. Obligatory "show your blog generator" meme. It is basically a compiler that takes Notion export, then runs a lot of transformations on top of it, which gradually transforms it from one DOM to completely different one, and then it dumps everything to git-clonable static website which can be viewed locally.

    There is also thumbnail generator with cache, virtual in-memory filesystem and a bunch of other shenanigans.

    I wrote it when I got pissed at Notion that it randomly changes the structure and
    everything really about the export. I could have gone with the markdown export, and, looking backwards, I probably should have, but it was lossy compared to HTML back then. For example if I remember correctly, you loose block positioning info, video and so on.

    Oh, and it is built using of my own HTML parser:

    In the comments it's mentioned Notion has this flaw in its documentation as though it's 'by design.' ☹️

    I have a public notion page attached to my pseud's gmail address, so it's all fine, but ach, one more reason to try to get away from Notion... (working with #Capacities rn)

  14. Как я автоматизировал управление информацией и оптимизировал рабочие процессы. История Sapiens OS

    Если вы ведете несколько проектов одновременно, вы знаете проблему управления информацией. Мысль пришла в голову — записал куда-то. Через месяц пытаешься вспомнить: где это было? Сохранил в папке где-то на компьютере? В заметках телефона? В рабочем чате или личных сообщениях? Если не нашел — идея ушла. Или осталась, но найти её — отдельный квест и потеря времени, которое хотелось бы потратить с пользой, а не на поиски. Со мной так происходило постоянно. Статьи и доклады по учёбе, отчёты по работе, технические заметки по разрабатываемому ПО, ссылки на полезные ресурсы, голосовые идеи по дороге на работу, полезные фото — всё в разных местах, без структуры, без связей. Изначально я пытался найти для себя идеальный инструмент. Notion, Obsidian, Evernote — ни один не решал мою задачу в комплексе: быстро сохранить мысль, не потерять её, а потом легко найти и связать с другими. Поэтому я написал свою систему. Статья — не «продажа курса» и не «уникальный продукт». Это описание того, как я решал свои задачи, какие решения принимал и что из этого вышло. Если вы тоже теряете время при поиске нужной информации — возможно, найдёте здесь что-то полезное.

  15. I find striking how much of a hype there is around concepts like "second brain", "zettelkasten", "networked note-taking", "PARA method", "Johnny Decimal", etc., and around note-taking apps such as Roam Research, Notion, Obsidian, and so on. So I found fascinating Kevin Baker's May 2024 take on them as "sandboxes for infinite varieties of avoidant labor".

    Here's the relevant excerpt, shared without further comment:

    "Incapacitating" is exactly how I would describe my relationship to computers, especially since the start of the pandemic. "Friction" for me looks like uncertainty, partial knowledge, ambiguity, disorder, or anxiety. The ecosystem of note taking software and influencers that has emerged since 2020 offer a great example of what I am talking about. Writing is a task which forces one to confront ambiguity, uncertainty, and one’s own limits directly, so it’s not surprising that a coterie of avoidance entrepreneurs sprung up around it. The goal of note taking systems, almost without exception, is to provide a smooth, frictionless environment for making connections between disparate topics. As your “second brain” develops, the ability—and indeed the desire—to create a dense latticework of connections increases. The problem for me, at least, is that I don’t find the work of making connections to be difficult. If anything, my “first brain” tends to overproduce these kinds of thoughts.

    What it does provide, however, is a sandbox for infinite varieties of “avoidant labor.” If your writing anxiety focuses, like mine frequently does, on the possibility of “accidental plagiarism,” well, you can tend to your “zettlekasten,” and ensure that everything you ever highlighted is properly cited and tagged. If you have a more generic form of writing anxiety, why not spend a few hours linking your notes? In both cases, you have an act adjacent to writing, which relieves some of the tension of not writing but actively avoids the task itself.

    Habe mir heute ein #Tool gemacht, mit dem ich bestimmte Projekte aus #Notion mit dem Dateisystem auf dem Mac synchronisieren kann.

    Das war eine der wenigen Funktionen, die ich damals beim SharePoint richtig klasse fand, dass man Arbeitsbereiche einfach mit #OneDrive als Dateien synchronisieren konnte.

    #Dateien sind super, denn für die Arbeit mit KI gibt es nichts schöneres als Dateien.

  24. Hello Fedi friends, how's your #DiDay going?

    I was going to configure CryptPad on my second YunoHost VPS but gave up because of complicated DNS settings / additional SSL certs and the requirement to tweak things in the background... too complicated for this newbie, sigh. Plus I already have document editing in NextCloud.

    So I opted instead for a new installation: #AppFlowy, an open source alternative to #Notion.

    AppFlowy's description mentions integration with AI - #OpenAI especially - but it's not mandatory. The setup instructions say that if you don't want to use it, you can enter a random string... so I ended up writing a very long IDetestOpenAIblahblahblah sort of thing and YunoHost is currently doing its magic, installing the app on my server.

    I'll let you know how it goes!

  25. What’s your feeling on Google #keep #notion Or, do you have a preference for sharing a text or checkbox-type list?

    In a perfect full GNU/#linux world, I would want the list to be in #dmenu (#suckless software), but idk about the file sharing aspect.

    I don’t like Resilio. It just hasn’t worked out reliably when I tried. Plus, it is a bit of a drag being proprietary. Dropbox functions better anyway, so it remains a little lingering tech question of mine: what is the best free (FOSS) alternative?

  26. I’ve tried #AppFlowy as a #Notion alternative and while it is close, I’m not quite sold on it yet as I’ve had issues syncing and general stability.

    I’m also trying #Logseq as an #Obsidian alternative. They aren’t quite the same as Obsidian is a markdown text editor with huge customizability, while Logseq is a more focused block-based markdown text editor centred around bullet point notes made in a daily journal. I like the way both function and I’m not sure how to effectively execute a transition to Logseq given how I use Obsidian currently.
