This was exactly my thought. The title is 'A local, privacy first Notion alternative', but the site talks about

> can I own my piece of the new internet today?

Which screams 'digital assets'. Why do I need to 'own a piece of the new internet', why can I not just own... a set of notes on my machine?

The section which espouses the goals of the project smells similarly Web3

> We have a chance to end the nation state's monopoly on trust the same way as the printing press ended the church’s monopoly on truth.

Again like, I don't know how 'privacy-first Notion alternative' also somehow involves dismantling nation states.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a free implementation of Notion (and by the UX of this landing page I don't doubt the developers have the resources and skills to do so), but I'd prefer that if this somehow involves digital assets and blockchains that it be front-and-center?
