I want to return to having a personal dashboard but what happened to notion?

I used to use notion as a personal dashboard during my undergrad, using it for quick links to library sites, module guides but also store notes and all sorts. It been a few years and i thought id log back in and set up a new hub as im starting a PG course but there’s now AI everywhere on it and im wondering if its even worth it. I try to avoid AI as much as possible so im looking for alternatives, I need something aestheticly customisable because my brain does not work with things i cant make look nice. I love Gifs and colour coding to death. I do use a weekly physical planner and common place too so i am mainly looking for something to host all my digital organisation as my new university seems very online heavy and i need it to be cross device capable. For for digital seminar notes, copies of presentations, video links, library links etc plus i cant hand write all my notes due to issues with my wrist. I have took a shot at obsidian but it only seems to be useful for note taking not creating a dashboard... any recommendations or ideas would be amazing
