The scrolling banner screams "this is a scam" to me for some reason. And that's not even touching the weirdness of that manifesto.

But, other than that, I hope it exists. Mostly because Notion really needs self-hosted alternatives, especially with "database" items support.

Obsidian exists, but it's not FOSS.

I signed up.for early access but I'm not too hopeful. There's some blockchain-esque use of words(Making me think it will rely on Ethereum or something) and a lot of obsfuscation, it's impossible to get any clue of how it works without signing up.

As far as I can tell LogSeq is basically obsidian but open source. https://logseq.com

Is it missing a key feature that obsidian has?

Last time I checked, Loqseq didn't support free-form text / Markdown as it's an outliner (only). Now I recently heard[0] that there's a "temporary free-form text mode" now(?) – I have yet to check it out but going by what people have been saying on the internet until a few days ago[1,2,3] this doesn't seem to be solving the problem or otherwise people would have stopped complaining.

The hierarchal view on the left side is the big one. Logseq seems to be focused on a flat model.

Hey just tried and the link is not resolving. Www works fine, seems to be an issue with the naked domain config.

Anytype is in closed alpha with 8,000 currently testing it. You can try it yourself using the invite code - hn. Please remember it’s an early alfa which doesn’t have a proper onboarding.
