This is why I love Capacities. It's object oriented with properties and tags. No folders.

ok, it's been a few days now using it, and I'm starting to love it. Specially their API access, so I can send my voice note transcriptions to my daily note.

The custom object types is great, I missed that feature from Anytype in other tools.

The only drawback is that they didn't implemented an import from other platforms tool. And I have all my history and notes on Logseq now.

I just tried it, looks good. But TBH, I miss outlining. I would like they offer a way to have an outlining mode (with collapsing ability). Thanks for the recommendation.

Tried that, but I would like outliner mode to be the default. Instead of writing a `-` at the beginning of the line.

Anyway, I'll give a better try. Thanks.

Wow, I'm sold.

What is?

This product looks awesome and the mobile app looks exceptional. But if it’s not self-hosted and in some kind of standard format,you’re SOL when the company shuts down. Even though you can export your data, where are you supposed import it to?

Here are some possible alternatives: https://selfh.st/alternatives/notion/

Trust me, I do understand all that. My personal set of trade-offs is such that I really can't be bothered with self-hosting.

Capacities has one-click export of all of your objects (notes/pages) with a sensible folder structure that produces markdown with frontmatter and includes all media attachments. That's good enough for me.

They must be overcome by the HN hug of death or something, because their isEmailVerified endpoint is 429-ing, preventing signups. With that level of execution, who could trust them with your most intimate knowledge?
