Fully agree. That's also the main reason I am using Notion even though it's not FOSS, not encrypted etc.

I was fine using Obsidian (even though it's not FOSS either, but you own your data) but I can't figure out a good way to track books and quotes plus my opinion about them while querying them the same way it works in the database with Notion. Dataview is great for many things but doesn't have pagination etc.

Yes, I have tested Logseq and even donate to them monthly. However I don't use it actively. Reason is that I just can't figure out a way to store my quotes and my opinion about them from books the same way I do it in Notion.

Basically I store my quotes like this:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/33c4ce22-f5b0-43c0-849c-af41796e3a41.png
Inside each quote I write my opinion or the summary of the quote in my own words, etc.

And then for the books I have it like this:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/7347618a-9782-4f27-a830-40273de1dd46.png

And inside each book I have the quotes linked:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/618a8473-bc02-4b19-89bf-c48be8f5db41.png

So yeah I haven't found any way in Obsidian or Logseq to replicate this structure. It's always something simliar that's not working the same way and feels off and only with tweaks, custom CSS and stuff like that.

Android Auto is supported. Payments are the only thing holding me back currently. But that's not something the developers of GrapheneOS can change unfortunately.
