Yeah, absolutely. I really like Notion as a platform, but it’s these exactly concerns that led me to switch to Obsidian as my personal knowledgebase. I’d feel better if Notion had a truly offline client with sync rather than wrapping a web app.

i've just given Obsidian a try as a result of this outage. it's damn beautiful and a lovely way to write Markdown, but I really wish it had database features like Notion, I rely on those so much

Yeah, there also doesn't really seem to be a good way to use it as a shared knowledgebase with teammates.
