Appflowy – open-source Notion Alternative

Sorry for the tangent, but is anyone aware of any open source alternative to workflowy (quite a bit different to notion, a lot simpler, usually described as an infinite outliner)?

I really got on with that whilst I was briefly using it, but it being proprietary was a bit of a concern

Athens Research uses a workflowy like UI. It comes with a bunch of other features, but you can ignore those pretty easily.

Obsidian with the Outliner plugin is also nice - although Obsidian isn't open source, it is free and all your data is stored locally as markdown files.

There is Logseq (https://logseq.com/) although it is more oriented to recreate Roam.

Yeh logseq looks really nice, but seems to have a bit more of a steep learning curve. What really drew me to workflowy was the simplicity of just one page and a list of bullets (though I guess it might be possible to emulate that in logseq, maybe even easy)

You can do that, but Logseq is definitely not optimized for longer pages and you will quite quickly start to feel that. But putting everything in one note might be a good starting point to learn new workflows with these kind of outliners.
