A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation platform that scales. Built with Django and React. Opensource alternative to Notion or Outline. - suitenumerique/docs
That are cloud-hosted, matching how many of them are operating today? No, I wouldn’t say there are, at least none that work well enough for that at this point, and are supported with mobile apps that work well. If you know some, please, feel free to share.
I’d say it can easily be addressed with excellent open source fat clients (libreoffice for example) though. But either option is going to take substantial IT work to transition, and I think from a government and business perspective outside the US, it should be prioritized.
What does this project do differently, then? I might be able to appreciate some implementation details as a techy, but does this actually do anything important that the other attempts at open source docs alternatives don’t do? Is this hosted anywhere (no, the test account that’s linked on github doesn’t count)?
So you’re saying we don’t already have other open source docs alternatives?

This is oriented as a notion alternative, which means connecting documents to projects, task tracking, metrics, prioritization, etc.
Thats a key business/gov functionality that I’m not sure I’ve seen as a goal with other projects. But if you know of any, please share.
