I was using Notion, but I found Obisidian to be very similar, maybe less powerful out of the box, but feels much better to use. All files are written in Markdown and stored on device (or in iCloud or wherever), has a "marketplace" for user designed themes and plugins.

I like Obsidian too, but the one thing it really can't do that Notion does well is collaboration. And surprisingly I haven't seen any good plugins that solve this problem (to be fair it's not an easy problem).

I have some months ago messed around with writing a plugin that allows collaborative editing in some sense.

Basically, I realized that my notes are in nextcloud and nextcloud already has a collaborative markdown editor based on Y.js.

So my goal was to open a file from nextcloud in obsidian as a participant to the collaborative editor session of that file. Right now I'm a bit busy with exams but it was working pretty well and I may finish it sometime.
