I've just been recently through a long reflection about the tools I use.

I need two things : - infinitely nested task lists (also called infinite outliners) : dynalist, workflowy - markdown notes : notesnook, obsidian, notion, etc.

After drowning myself in all these tools and their respective small drawbacks, and also trying anytype which lacks basic things like share a document online, I finally went for local markdown files synced with git, using vim as my editor, and an extremely small deno server to publish my markdown notes (some listed, some not). On mobile, I decided to use gitjournal.

For my non-developer friends, and also those that don't care about using non-open source software than might get bought by microsoft in 1 year, I can understand the appeal of notion.

If anytype can provide an open-source local-first alternative to notion, it would be beautiful.
