It simply has the potential to be the successor of Notion.

Good potential, but they ignore basic features like #tags that every other program supports. Maybe it will become usable when they start fixing the bugs people upvote. I so wish I could finally drop logseq

A little confused why I can't add new groups when there's a plus sign and line to do so, Every time i type it disappears, but cards have no problem. Board and calendar listings are separate and don't move to eachother. The program Elisi has them integrated. Wouldn't work for my Android.. I guess because it's older.

Hi!

  1. You'll need to press Enter to create a new group in Kanban
  2. If two views are created from the same database, they are linked. For more details, please refer to our guide: https://appflowy.com/guide/views-filters-and-sorts

Performance is very smooth compared to Affine and LogSeq, there is potential to use Rust, and Dart for native compatibility.

I also like its greater emphasis on privacy compared to Affine, and its greater features compared to LogSeq.

Its still new, so lots of basic features are missing, there are bugs etc., but it could be great. We will see.
