#notion

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I documented my flow and tooling for how I write and publish blog posts right now.

I use #Notion as my CMS and #Eleventy (❤️) as my static site generator and I've written custom CLI tools with Node to integrate the two.

My tooling has been built one small piece at a time over the past 7 years.

@leoscarin I am so proud of you, son ❤️

I am so glad that constantly talking about @yunohost pays off eheheh 🎉

It really depends on your needs… For sure going to the Apps Catalog is helpful to get an idea of the most popular and best supported apps.

  • #Nextcloud gives you a cloud suite providing almost any essential service you might need.
  • I haven’t tested #AppFlowy yet, but it would probably be something you’d enjoy exploring as a #Notion alternative.
  • #Paperless is awesome for handling all your docs super efficiently
  • I use @readeck a lot, and it's very nice, even if it has a lot of room for improvement
  • Tons of people are migrating to #Ghost
  • Don’t abandon our beloved Pan.rent, but you could test @gotosocial, it's very nifty and well built!
  • changedetection.io is SUPER USEFUL
  • I use both #Wallos and #Actual to manage my finances, but it’s still going very poorly (pardon my joke 🫣)

I have been promoting, using, and translating #YunoHost in Italian for almlost five years (🤯), maybe other people who are new could help you more. @_elena’s self-hosting log can be of inspiration!

@techlifeweb I totally agree! There are so many features and simple things on other note-taking apps that either don't exist or are so hard to use in OneNote. It was the first note taking app that I used when I was getting into college and I'm so glad I switched to #notion and now I'm currently using #obsidian. What do you use?

I've been thinking about using #Obsidian as an alternative to #Notion, so I finally got around to downloading it and imported my Notion pages. The import was really fast, that was nice, but it lost a whole load of formatting (sort of inevitable since they are different apps) and some information has disappeared, which is not so nice because it's kind of annoying to lose all that work.

At least that work isn't lost forever since it's still on my Notion account, but it means I'm not so sure Obsidian is going to be the useful alternative to Notion that I was hoping for (honestly I don't think anything is, which is also annoying because I don't like how Notion keeps pushing use of AI)

Let’s talk… documentation!

Keen to get opinions on #Confluence vs #Notion for technical documentation (text/embeds/graphics) for internal dev teams!

Have used both, but confluence is my choice. Notion feels too clunky even though it offers more customisable possibilities!

What’s your go to for writing documentation?
