🔍 Project spotlight

Docmost, open source Notion

Docmost is an open source alternative to Notion and other wiki software. The platform is designed to simplify the process of documenting and sharing information within teams. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating, managing, and collaborating on various types of documents, from simple notes to complex reports.

One of the key features of Docmost is its collaborative tools, which allow multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. This real-time collaboration ensures that everyone on the team is always up-to-date with the latest changes and additions. Additionally, Docmost supports version control, so users can track changes over time and revert to previous versions if necessary.

Docmost also places a strong emphasis on security and accessibility. It offers robust permission settings, enabling administrators to control who can view, edit, or share documents. The platform is designed to be accessible from various devices, including smartphones and tablets, allowing team members to access important documents from anywhere.

Docmost launched a couple of weeks ago but already accumulated over 3k Github stars.
