Ca existe une vraie bonne alternative à #Notion qui soit européenne, open source, avec une UX de qualité et respectueuse de la vie privée ? De tous les outils à remplacer, c'est celui qui me pose le plus de difficultés 😔

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)

If you're using #Microsoft #OneNote, you will face disadvantages when you don't switch to #Windows11 soon:

You are forced to "One Note on Windows" which requires a #Microsoft365 account. If you want to keep your previous computer/OS, your synchronization speed gets reduced just to punish your disobedience: windowslatest.com/2025/03/24/m

For anything that requires a certain amount of privacy/security, for anything long-term (avoiding #lockin effects), OneNote was a bad idea in the first place.

People who started with the original OneNote already faced data loss when MS forced them into the then mediocre cloud version in 2018: karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of

My recommendation: re-evaluate your requirements and switch to a much better long-term alternative, such as #Emacs #Orgmode & not yet another hip lock-in monster like #Obsidian, #Evernote or other closed source #cloud solutions: karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-c

Windows Latest · Microsoft will intentionally slow OneNote for Windows 10, so you ditch it fasterMicrosoft has confirmed that it's killing off "OneNote for Windows 10," but it also plans to force the legacy app's sync to run slower.

While I don’t use Notion actively myself, I’m a big fan of the product, team, and what they’re up to. If you are too, this interview on Lenny’s Podcast with co-founder and CEO Ivan Zhao is worth a listen.

[edit] j'ai fait un tableau excel, c'est bien un tableau excel
question sérieuse (je sais que je fais une erreur fatale en la posant ici)
Préambule : je sais que #Notion peut répondre à mon besoin mais pas trop envie pour 2 raisons : une app US et un système fermé.
Pour mon activité pro, je voudrais pouvoir suivre devis avec date probable d'intervention + date de relance et ensuite dates de prod (acompte et livraison) pour avoir un calendrier et un prévisionnel par mois.
Tu utiliserais quoi ?

Curious what the #PKM community thinks of the Johnny Decimal system[1]?

I came across this years ago and it recently resurfaced.

Is anyone using this in their PKM software and successfully built workflows around it? It seems like an alternative to PARA and Zettelkasten.

johnnydecimal.comA system to organise your lifeJohnny.Decimal is a system to organise your life. Find things, quickly, with more confidence, and less stress. It's free to use and the concepts are the same at home or work.

Have we become too dependent on American products? I find myself more hesitant to send money that way.

Mastodon thankfully not an issue. Phones we have recently discussed (including @jolla as an option, but tough one). What about a good alternative to Google Business stuff for small companies? Or something like #Notion? Or #Slack?
