Does anyone know if these is an open source and privacy-focused alternative to xTiles? A friend of mine showed me this site where it's like Notion, but more visual and easier to use. It's looks really cool, but I wanted to know if there was something similar that's private and open source.

https://anytype.io/ is the closest that I know of

I've looked at Anytype before, but can't remember why I can't remember I didn't try it. I'll try it this time. Thank you!

Theres SiYuan that is open source and is in the same spirit as notion, obsidian,... (regarding usability)

[-] LemmyThinkAboutThat@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 3 days ago

There’s Disroot and CryptPad which is E2EE and open source. Also, ditto on Anytype.

No problem. Keep us updated if you find something great.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Oh, I also saw openproject recently which seemed similar.

Obsidian?

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 8 points 3 days ago

Obsidian is proprietary.

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago

Oh, I genuinely didn't know that. Sorry.

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

It's probably private, but sadly not open source.

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 days ago

My bad, sorry.

A sad not to be end-to-end encrypted. It's looks cool!
