  1. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    I too tried notion for a while and I noticed that it's just getting slower and slower with each release. Even on my M1 mac it's not a very performant app which is sad. It's a bit of a jack of all trades, while doing nothing especially well. Just recently I tried using it again for a small project (3-4 people) and it quickly got chaotic and messy (used for simple task board, wiki, blogpost drafts). Right now, I recommend: - Craft (http://craft.do/) for collaborating on documents, information sharing, knowledge (can't do tables and other fancy things yet, but is native and veeeery nice) - Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) for personal knowledge database (although it's also electron...) - DEVONthink (https://www.devontechnologies.com/) for digital office.

  12. A note-taking tool for networked thought
    Roam's site[1] only mentions $165/yr. The 5 year plan is $500, but then... If you stop using it after a year, you would have paid $500 for 1 year of usage. If you're thinking of no lock-in, you need to see the monthly price, which is $15 month, way more expensive (for personal use) than anything notion has (free/$4/$8 per month) [1]: https://roamresearch.com/.
