If anyone is looking for an alternative to Notion without the bloat, I’m building https://docmost.com https://docmost.com. It has a nice UI, real-time collaboration, diagrams support and more. You can self-host it too.

Very cool. I wish tools like this could be embeddable. For example, being able to add it into existing apps.

I love so much how nice this looks. But I wish this was Obsidian or rather, a standalone app. I don't want a web app for notes. Notes are all files. Different use case I know but I wish so much Obsidian looked and felt more like your app/Notion.

  Looking more into this, 4o actually produced a list of plugins that add functionality to do some of the things Notion excels at so that tells me that there probably is a way to get datatables etc.

I self host docmost and love it, thank you for making it! Will you consider making it publishable as a wiki? The current share feature is close but forces me to share a specific URL and live-edit public pages.

  The next sharing goal would be to make it possible to share an entire "Space", but not the "Workspace" itself. Would that fit the ideas you have in mind?

    Yes! I maintain documentation relating to music production and want to make it public, while also ideally also accepting contributions (though I'm not sure how that'd look like). It would be nice to have a way to have WIP be private until I publish the changes.

I’m wondering if integrating this with nocodb mentioned above would work, as i also use databases in documents.

  You could use the Iframe embed feature to embed your NocoDB databases.

    That’s really clumsy ux wise (scrollbars, surrounding content on nocodb page probably). I’d need a deeper integration i.e ability to link to rows directly at a minimum using @ like in notion without looking up row url.

I've been looking for a tool like this that can publish. I was thinking of some way to create a help doc system for end users, but interleaved with technical information and discussion for devs. IE to make the help documentation a single source of truth for application behaviour. All this needs to work is the ability to mark blocks of the document as "public" so only that gets published properly. Any possibility of doing this currently or interest in supporting in the future?
