A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I really tried to even understand this app … I mean really tried. I just don’t get it.

Waaay too convoluted UX and even suffering through the youtube videos does not help

I feel like you’re the only person who’s shared my experience. I’ve used Notion relatively frequently since its launch and my biggest gripe has always been portability. I’ve been following Anytype since their announcement over four years ago (!) waiting on a beta invite and when I finally got one, spent around 40 minutes fighting through “just figuring it out”, the documentation, and YouTube videos to figure out how to add properties to a database to mimic the most basic functionality of Notion’s relationships before finally just admitting this product wasn’t it for me.
