Notion launches its API in public beta

Logseq https://github.com/logseq/logseq is also a good OSS alternative and they're also working on collaborative feature I believe.

• Nishan

  1 172 0.0 TypeScript

  An ecosystem of packages for notion written in typescript.

  

I have to give a shoutout to the dev who wrote Nishan, a wrapper around Notion's internal API used by their webapp. I've been using it for a while and it will be a long time before the public API catches up. Getting users to find the api token from cookies has been a pain though, so I'll be looking into migrating asap. https://github.com/Devorein/Nishan

• Templater

  64 2,777 8.6 TypeScript

  A template plugin for obsidian

> no databases

You can query Markdown files with the (third-party) Dataview plugin. Wrote about it here[0], very simple query syntax. Only tables and lists, but tables is the one I've used by far the most in Notion as well.

> no nice templates

Well you can always create your own. There's a first-party templates plugin[1] and a similar third-party one that also allows custom variables and has a showcase[2] (think: you can curl the weather and add it to your journal).

Having wrote that, your "a lot of custom configuration" definitely applies.
