Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
AFFiNE could end up there at some point. It's a web app so technically it should work on mobile, but I'm not sure how the user experience would be there.
- Is there a deep Notion alternative that includes both 1. thorough 'notion-database'-like functionality (Airtable or postgres or similarly backed) and 2. excellent integration/embed support for other apps and services?

Why does closed-source Obsidian have 4x more plugins and themes than open-source Logseq?
Do you know of https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan? It's not Markdown though, and English documentation is somewhat lacking. But it's *much* more performant than Logseq.
Here's a plug for SiYuan (I'm not affiliated with at all and I'm still using Obsidian): It's like Logseq but much more performant: 100% local, FOSS, block-based, PDF support, etc. You can write long form or in bullet point freely. The downside is it's not markdown but in plain text JSON. The other side of the coin is that much for easier to do "basic" thing such as merging table cells, fully WYSIWYG, etc. Another major downside is very barebone English documentation.
