This will sound crazy but I wish there was an open source “everything” app. If this could grow into a slack alternative (where channels can host a kanban board) with http bot api and built in charting and dashboards and python notebook snippets etc etc so we can get things in one place… that would be great!!
a) Nextcloud
b) AFFiNE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE but check some part of server license, what is allowed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165008 with RocketChat Community Edition https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/RocketChat with Jypyter: https://jupyter.org
One day when I have free time I really want to build an "everything app" suite on top of Sandstorm. Kind of like your supermarket's "home brand" meant to be no-frills, functional and cheap.
The way Sandstorm takes auth and hosting off your hands feels like it would make this more tractable. Business model remains an issue though, as it does for much open source work (and of course, all businesses! it's rough out there).
Having played around with Sandstorm, it's just so freeing to create one sqlite file per document (or board, or whatever) and just not worry about what happens if 10,000 users turn up. Wekan, which does run admirably well on Sandstorm, pulls an entire Mongodb instance into each grain. That makes sense if you want to host an entire SaaS on one database. But not in the Sandstorm world.

There is only MongoDB raw database files at each WeKan grain, similar to SQLite. MongoDB 3 server version is same for every grain.
In progress is adding SQLite support to WeKan.
Using Caddy 2 at front, I host Sandstorm, many WeKan Snap and RocketChat at same server. Sandstorm has many websites, etc software in use. At Sandstorm, only those grains are running and use RAM where is logged in user, this is much more efficient that Docker or Snap where container is running all the time.

There is also development towards next version of Sandstorm, that is Tempest:

https://anytype.io is not open source, but source available, and even calls itself the "Everything App".
Huly.io describe themselves exactly as "Everything App"
