Works for single users as a "normal install" (no selft hostion or forced online), true open source (no freemium) and super clean UI.

Raw product. It works very slowly. It freezes and regularly produces errors. Single-user mode. Not suitable for work due to its unreliability and the presence of many bugs

I was using the Windows desktop download. It was great when it worked, but one of their updates introduced some changes to the way the database file works, which weren't reflected in my project's file. I am still unable to access my boards til this day. All of my tasks are gone, and there's no solution from the devs! I went back to using Notion, Airtable, and Logseq. Would not recommend using this app to track important tasks.

Self-hosted and open source Notion. Awesome!

Simple, intuitive layout and easy to install on a Debian lxc. Just what I was looking for!
