So far I found Plane.so and Kaneo ============== EDIT: We decided to go with Anytype so far we're happy and with Claude Code llms.txt and their MCP is great.

was also looking for something will give affine a go with docker, thanks :)
I also use Outline but I never heard of an desktop app for it. What do you use as desktop app?
I dont think it has an actual desktop app but you can install it as a PWA
The worst advice. With Obsidian, data lives on the clients. Impossible to be multi user.
Obsidian is so nice, I really wish it wasn't built the way it is. Having it as a proper multi-user software would be so good
I've been wanting to set this up. I love the "everything is an object" concept. I need to deploy a sync node to keep it all private but it feels like if it all works out I will be ditching Notion. The only downside is that there are a few things missing, from what I saw there are no reminders, which is something I rely on when creating tasks for myself. But since there's an API I will be leveraging that to post to a ntfy server and get the reminders.
We (small startup) just switched from Notion to Outline because hitting your 1000 block free tier limit is inevitable and fast. It's practically a clone of the core knowledge base functionality, so might not meet your "simpler" requirement. Then again, I picked specifically because it's not loaded with guff like Notion and we just want the key wiki stuff. Switching was crazy easy. Export, import, up in minutes. One key difference to note is that is it SSO only, no username/password accounts. I thought that was going to be deal-breaker for a little startup, but it turns out we'd already got Microsoft SSO accounts as part of our GoDaddy hosting. So, somewhat surprisingly, SSO was the better option. Otherwise it's pretty similar. Good desktop app. Block based documents with the usual formatting options. Normal page hierarchy stuff. Just a lot less upsell of features for features sake. Cloud or self-host options.

I use Affine, check it out
Im currently using outline, its great so far
There's also bookstack
We use outline
Docmost would work too
I like mediawiki.
What about https://anytype.io/?
Just use Obsidian
Affine
I use obsidian, never switching back
Affine, outline, wiki.js are all options. If you're paying $20 a user then you're paying for the business version, do you actually need it? We do Plus and have never had any issues and while SSO would be nice another $10 per user for it is crazy.
I've used TriliumNotes in the past.
