Appflowy – open-source Notion Alternative

I might try focalboard, I am using Joplin now, but looking for something… more? Like that you can run it local offline. Appflowy is macOS only right now unfortunately,

You can use focalboard to run locally with sqlite: https://www.focalboard.com/download/personal-edition/ubuntu.

I can see that the appflowy repo has a build folder for Windows, so if you're using Windows you can try compiling it? Flutter is pretty easy to set up and compile.

FWIW I'd be interested to see how much work it'd take to add linux support, since in my (albeit basic) experiments with Flutter it didn't take much effort at all. Good first issue?

If you give focalboard a try, we'd love to hear feedback! :)

Not original poster, but some quick notes:

- Easy setup. I was up in 5 minutes flat including reading time - Good start templates - Aesthetic quibble - dark theme seems off. I don't know if its a shade of grey that throws me off or what - It does not have pretty moving animations of various boxes ( and it is a good thing! )

I will keep playing with it.

What about Obsidian and Cherrytree?
