Open Source Notion Alternative: Appflowy First Look

[@HowWebsite]

What type of database is that? Could I setup a mysql database to link to this?

[@sashainparis]

SQLite3

[@EricDavidSmith]

Yes, echoing @sashainparis - indeed it is SQLite

[@JasonTRogers]

Cool Thank you

[@ppolleunus]

Sorry, not hating, just sharing with you my honest feedback without filters.
1:30 of useless intro. At 5:42, are you just gonna read their website?! What's the point of making a video to do that?! 🤷‍♂ So, bye

[@raysandrarexxia941]

Then proceeds to be completely incapable of using the app 😂

[@lunisolarhajan7540]

Well, there are enough people who can not read.
So why not ... :-)

[@martinkaspar5095]

big big thanks - sounds great. i like it very much.

[@EricDavidSmith]

Glad you like it!

[@possumcode]

Is it a single-person task tracker??

[@EricDavidSmith]

Hi Plasmagor, yes single person only from what I could understand. However since it is open-source, you could build this collaborative concept into it yourself. Hope this helps.

[@justpassingby997]

I feel like Obsidian is substantially better… just my personal preference.

[@EricDavidSmith]

Totally. I agree. I'm not affiliated with AppFlowy. I think any files created in Obsidian today will be accessible in several years to come. Markdown ftw.

[@tobymoby8524]

Obsidian is not open source and a complete different working software.
You cant compare them.

[@sashainparis]

Database used is just a dummy SQLite3 - fully open source that could be synced/replaced by any other SQL database such as MariaDB or PostgreSQL.
To be recalled: Notion is a React UI to a PostgreSQL database.

[@localixdots9698]

ахаха там же написано в заголовке файла что это sqlite3 - легко открывается вьювером вроде DB Browser и смотришь содержимое.

[@arnabbis-w5s]

Big Thanks.. for this ..

[@alexstone691]

Does not use markdown so no thanks

[@Amigun_yo]

appflowy is awful software

[@nextprogram5945]

why is that? in what way is worse than notion?
