I’m currently using Notion and agree on the “slow” part.
However, what Notion does give you, which other, mostly markdown / flat-file based systems do not, is a form of “data-base”, or more truthfully spreadsheet-like applications with light formulas, sorting, filtering etc. Also, the free version also includes sharing / “publication” and sync.
I do not use it heavily, but those are the reasons I’m sticking with it for now.
Thanks for pointing me to it, if I make the jump in the future, that might come in handy. Although it does slightly take away from the appeal of pure markdown files.
Yes, and having that database like functionality, as well as the usual note taking, is really a great addition. And sync is critical IMO. If they would just make the web front-end faster I would stop looking for alternatives.

Obsidian’s dataview plugin might have all the database features you’re looking for.
Strongly agree with sync and publish though. The free solutions I out together for each are ugly.
