  1. docs

    A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation platform that scales. Built with Django and React. Opensource alternative to Notion or Outline. (by suitenumerique)

    There's a hosted test instance with pre-existing test account:

    https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs?tab=readme-ov-file#te...

    Logging in just works. Easy to try it out there.

    The official French hosted instance requiring some French-specific stuff seems pretty normal. Likely specific to that instance's authentication system, not the Docs software itself.

  2. Civic Auth

    Auth in Less Than 5 Minutes. Civic Auth comes with multiple SSO options, optional embedded wallets, and user management — all implemented with just a few lines of code. Start building today.

  3. grist-core

    Grist is the evolution of spreadsheets.

    > The French government agency ANCT Données et Territoires has also made significant contributions to the codebase.

    From the Grist-core readme : https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core

  4. docmost

    Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. It is an open-source alternative to Confluence and Notion.

    A while back this was posted on HN - https://github.com/docmost/docmost/

  5. Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

    You should take a look at Outline (mentioned in the title). https://www.getoutline.com/

  6. Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

    It depends on what subset of Notion you use. Nothing (including Notion) is perfect for me. I'd like to build my own eventually, but I'm currently using Obsidian which doesn't hit your "works in the browser" requirement.

    One option, which is open source and self hosted, is Trilium[sic], found at https://github.com/zadam/trilium It's open source, so if it's close to what you want, you might be able to adjust it to meet your needs.

    Other commercial options include Realm, Tana, and Craft. With varying degrees of "AI".

    I really like the UX of Tana for building out graphs of pages with properties, but it's slow to start up, doesn't support math, etc. So it's mainly a UX example for me.

  7. AppFlowy

    Bring projects, wikis, and teams together with AI. AppFlowy is the AI collaborative workspace where you achieve more without losing control of your data. The leading open source Notion alternative.

  8. AFFiNE

    There can be more than Notion and Miro. AFFiNE(pronounced [ə‘fain]) is a next-gen knowledge base that brings planning, sorting and creating all together. Privacy first, open-source, customizable and ready to use.

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  10. siyuan

    A privacy-first, self-hosted, fully open source personal knowledge management software, written in typescript and golang.

  11. Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with TriliumNext Notes (by TriliumNext)

  12. anytype-ts

    Official Anytype client for MacOS, Linux, and Windows

  13. Relay

    Multiplayer Mode for Obsidian (by No-Instructions)

    Dev of the Obsidian Relay plugin [0] here.

    We support most of this (you'll need to also use Obsidian Git), but haven't released OIDC (please reach out of you need it!).

  14. CryptPad

    Collaborative office suite, end-to-end encrypted and open-source.

    For e2ee you might want to have a look at CryptPad (https://cryptpad.org). You can test it on the free instance https://cryptpad.fr

    You'll have plenty of doc types with full end to end encryption, including for your drive.

  15. HedgeDoc

    HedgeDoc - Ideas grow better together
