Has anyone tried anytype.io/ ?
I had been using a private GitLab repo to keep notes across devices and a simple static site generator for organizing things through tags. I switched to Notion when I couldn't figure out why my markdown editor wouldn't access the folder where the git client was cloning to. I stuck with it for the embed feature.

Are you sharing docs externally? In other words, do you need the SSG at all?

For personal use local markdown files + preview is a much easier workflow. VS Code with the Markdown All In One extension is more than enough (if you don't already want to use Obsidian).

It's all private, but I have a mix of journals, project logs, work experience, random thoughts, etc. I like having an interface that lets me quickly review, filter, and collate

Markdown IMO is still the best for that - even Notion acknowledges that given its interface works very well with (and is partly based on) Markdown.

Obsidian also has plugins that are stored per-vault so you can enhance your setup with things like kanban boards, data tables/spreadsheets, etc.

I was going to but it's pretty complicated to setup on a server, you need at least a MongoDB database and a Redis.
Here is the installation guide: tech.anytype.io/how-to/self-h…

I love this design! Reminds me of mymind.com/
