How is it different from Notion and Evernote like solutions? What’s better and what’s worse about Dino?

Likewise, how’s it different from backlink-based apps like Obsidian, Roam and Craft?

Is OSS the only selling feature?

Also wondered this and couldn't find anything on the github page.

There's more discussion on Product Hunt on this particular issue from the creator:

"you're right, notion is great for organizing stuff for some use cases. But most of the time, a majority of time is spent organizing a task instead of doing the task. Dino is targeting a different use case in that it is more useful in taking notes and using at more as a digital notebook and less as a productivity tool." https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dino?utm_source=badge-feat...

I remain dubious, it looks like a very similar UI to Notion, as an Obsidian user, this doesn't seem to be solving a problem I currently have.

Curious what problem you're having in Obsidian (as a Notion + Obsidian user myself)
