Read it at the original source: ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@thenomadinorbit** · 2 upvotes > I've been using SiYuan and Obsidian for a while, and they both excel in their own ways for note-taking and knowledge management. **@josephhansen** · 0 upvotes > I like Notion, but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I've ended up moving away from the "all-in-one" model of Notion and fragmenting into smaller apps. For note taking and knowledge management, I've been really happy with a local install of DokuWiki. Not as "feature rich", sure, but I like the more connected feel of a wiki where everything is hyperlinked to everything. **@lonewanderer27** · 0 upvotes > Been using Anytype since they're on a closed alpha and it's been a very fast, minimal in the UI, yet feature rich alternative to Notion. Plus you can use it offline with its Desktop and Mobile apps! ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#notion](https://daily.dev/tags/notion), [#self-hosting](https://daily.dev/tags/self-hosting) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/self-hosting-guide-to-alternatives-notion-tpb3rz0ff) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Self-Hosting Guide to Alternatives: Notion","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/self-hosting-guide-to-alternatives-notion-tpb3rz0ff","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/self-hosting-guide-to-alternatives-notion-tpb3rz0ff"},"datePublished":"2024-05-08T11:31:52.544Z","dateModified":"2024-05-24T02:13:11.837Z","description":"Discover self-hosted alternatives to Notion, a popular collaboration platform.
