If you like Notion but are looking for something open source, similarly polished and more wiki-focused then this will be up your street - http://getoutline.com

We've been building it for 2 years, happy to answer questions.

Looks great, except I cannot use it because, I don't have a google company account nor a slack account. It seems that self-hosting solution requires those accounts too.

I previously tried to sign up via a Google account but it required a 'company Google account' - I was slightly confused about the reasoning behind this.

It's designed for teams, Google auth is used to avoid having to manage invites etc. If you could sign in with any old Google account then it would introduce a class of problems with having to manage invites / user management / accidental duplicate teams.

Having said that, I do think it would be cool if signing in with your personal gmail account gave you a personal non-team wiki.

Is there a way to sign up without Slack or G+?

Nope, fraid not. Is there another service your team uses for identity when signing up for tools?

The service itself? SAML (e.g. Active Directory)?

I don't have a team. I was just curious.

I've been looking for something similar for a while now, and I love the fact that it can be self-hosted. Is there any way to easily disable the Google / Slack auth integration in favour of something local, for small self-hosted installs? I'm trying to reduce external dependencies (and specifically dependencies on Google).

Looks very nice!

On the integration side of things I'd wish for GitLab and other chats (don't like slack).

I'm afraid it's not easy to test your app without Slack/G+ Account and would be grateful if the project could "open to the free software world" a little more.

Thank you either way for sharing and keep up the good work!

Not just yet, but we'll get there. Also there is a full, documented, API so perhaps a community member will start something first

Looks great, would be nice to have syntax highlight support for more languages and maybe MathJax support.

Definitely, with the syntax support it's just a matter of balancing bundle size – need to figure out a way to dynamically load the language syntax and then we can add all of the languages
