Ca existe une vraie bonne alternative à #Notion qui soit européenne, open source, avec une UX de qualité et respectueuse de la vie privée ? De tous les outils à remplacer, c'est celui qui me pose le plus de difficultés 😔

@techlifeweb I totally agree! There are so many features and simple things on other note-taking apps that either don't exist or are so hard to use in OneNote. It was the first note taking app that I used when I was getting into college and I'm so glad I switched to #notion and now I'm currently using #obsidian. What do you use?

I've been thinking about using #Obsidian as an alternative to #Notion, so I finally got around to downloading it and imported my Notion pages. The import was really fast, that was nice, but it lost a whole load of formatting (sort of inevitable since they are different apps) and some information has disappeared, which is not so nice because it's kind of annoying to lose all that work.

At least that work isn't lost forever since it's still on my Notion account, but it means I'm not so sure Obsidian is going to be the useful alternative to Notion that I was hoping for (honestly I don't think anything is, which is also annoying because I don't like how Notion keeps pushing use of AI)

#Notion isn’t open source, but it’s hard not to love when they drop features like this 👇
#Webhooks are here ➡️ real-time updates without polling or hacks.
Sync data, trigger workflows, and integrate seamlessly. A game-changer for developers.

If you're using #Microsoft #OneNote, you will face disadvantages when you don't switch to #Windows11 soon:

You are forced to "One Note on Windows" which requires a #Microsoft365 account. If you want to keep your previous computer/OS, your synchronization speed gets reduced just to punish your disobedience: windowslatest.com/2025/03/24/m

For anything that requires a certain amount of privacy/security, for anything long-term (avoiding #lockin effects), OneNote was a bad idea in the first place.

People who started with the original OneNote already faced data loss when MS forced them into the then mediocre cloud version in 2018: karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of

My recommendation: re-evaluate your requirements and switch to a much better long-term alternative, such as #Emacs #Orgmode & not yet another hip lock-in monster like #Obsidian, #Evernote or other closed source #cloud solutions: karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-c
