Notion hiked their pricing recently (not great, but oh well) but someone there had the bright idea to slap a giant yellow banner at the top of every page reminding us that said price change will happen - in 2+ months. No way to remove the banner either, after contacting support it was gone and yesterday it came back.

Great when you share notion pages with clients during a video call and that pricing banner hangs around. We are looking to move off Notion now, not because of the banner, but it definitely contributed.

Yeah, I'm moving away from it too. I loved everything about Notion 3 years ago and nothing about it now.

I love Obsidian and I really wish there was an enterprise-level hosting option for it.

If you're interested in real-time collaboration within Obsidian, check out Relay [0]. We just released an on-prem hosting of our collaboration server, and we have folder-scoped sharing. We're making Obsidian work for work.

Notion seemed cool until finding out that getting information into/out of it was more of a painful, messy chore than I wanted it to be.

After trying Notion and experiencing the 'lock-in' for myself, I switched to Obsidian years ago - no regrets. Combined with Syncthing, it works surprisingly well - offering graceful/seamless editing of the same Notes across Windows desktop and multiple Macs, updating to the other devices in essentially real-time.
