  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • Outline

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

  • I was recently looking at self-hostable Notion alternatives for my team, and I was impressed with Outline. [0]

    I ended up going with Notion because it was overall more user-friendly and handled image embeds easier, but Outline would be a nice option if you want to control your own data.

  • notionapi

    Unofficial Go API for Notion.so

  • > Around 3 months ago, I started having issues with their "Export" feature

    I'm surprised you continued relying on them even after you realized this feature isn't working 3 months ago.

    > I even exchanged emails with the founders giving detailed feedback

    It also seems like you've been an early adopter so didn't you half expect this product might have major flaws and probably not the best idea to rely on it so heavily?

    There seems to be an unofficial exporter you can use here: https://github.com/kjk/notionapi
