Why Are We Building This?

Notion has been our favourite project and knowledge management tool in recent years because of its aesthetic appeal and functionality. Our team uses it daily, and we are on its paid plan. However, as we all know, Notion has its limitations. These include weak data security and poor compatibility with mobile devices. Likewise, alternative collaborative workplace management tools also have their constraints.

The limitations we encountered using these tools and our past work experience with collaborative productivity tools have led to our firm belief that there is a glass ceiling on what's possible for these tools in the future. This emanates from the fact that these tools will probably struggle to scale horizontally at some point and be forced to prioritize a proportion of customers whose needs differ from the rest. While decision-makers want a workplace OS, it is impossible to come up with a one-size fits all solution in such a fragmented market.

When a customer's evolving core needs are not satisfied, they either switch to another or build one from the ground up, in-house. Consequently, they either go under another ceiling or buy an expensive ticket to learn a hard lesson. This is a requirement for many resources and expertise, building a reliable and easy-to-use collaborative tool, not to mention the speed and native experience. The same may apply to individual users as well.

All these restrictions necessitate our mission - to make it possible for anyone to create apps that suit their needs well.

We decided to achieve this mission by upholding the three most fundamental values:

We do not claim to outperform Notion in terms of functionality and design, at least for now. Besides, our priority doesn't lie in more functionality at the moment. Instead, we would like to cultivate a community to democratize the knowledge and wheels of making complex workplace management tools while enabling people and businesses to create beautiful things on their own by equipping them with a versatile toolbox of building blocks.

AppFlowy
这是什么？AppFlowy 是一款开源、内置 AI 的协作工作区，集项目管理、知识库和团队文档于一体，是 Notion 的替代品，能让你牢牢掌控自己的数据。
这是我要安装的桌面应用，还是需要注册的服务？它是用 Flutter 和 Rust 开发的原生应用，安装在你自己的设备（桌面或移动端）上；如果你想完全掌控数据，也可以选择自行部署后端。
我该怎么把它跑起来？下载适用于 macOS、Windows 或 Linux 的 AppFlowy 桌面应用（也可通过 FlatHub、Snapcraft 或 Sourceforge 获取），或者从 App Store（iPhone）或 Play Store（Android 10+）下载。
在手机上运行它需要什么特别的条件吗？在安卓上需要 10 及以上版本；采用 ARMv7 架构的设备不支持。
和 Notion 相比，它有什么不足？团队坦言，AppFlowy 目前在功能完整度和设计打磨上还比不上 Notion；他们当前的首要任务并不是提升基础功能，而是把重心放在数据隐私和社区驱动的可扩展性上。
我的数据由谁控制？AppFlowy 的设计目标是让你 100% 掌控自己的数据，而且你可以把整套系统自行部署，无需依赖第三方服务器。
团队为什么要自己做 AppFlowy，而不是直接用 Notion？他们很喜欢 Notion，但发现它的数据安全性较弱、移动端兼容性差；他们还认为封闭、集中式的工具迟早会在灵活性上遇到瓶颈，因此决定打造一个开放、可自行部署的替代方案。
AppFlowy 底层用什么技术构建？它使用一套代码库：界面用 Flutter 编写，核心逻辑用 Rust 编写，因此可以在桌面和移动平台上以原生方式运行。
我可以自行部署 AppFlowy 的后端吗？可以，AppFlowy 明确支持自行部署，适合希望自己搭建完整协作基础设施的用户。
AppFlowy 只面向个人用户，还是也适合开发自定义工具？两者兼顾：个人用户可以获得类似 Notion 的功能，并拥有更好的数据安全性；企业和开发者则可以获得构建模块和协作基础设施，在其上开发自己的应用。
