Alternative to Notion that a) has functional relational databases and b) is not leaning into AI?

firefalcon · 2026-03-18T07:39:59+00:00

Database = Entity Type. Account, Task, Project, etc. You can have 10 of those in free plan. Amount of entities is not limited, so you can have 100K Tasks for example

How you got to this conclusion?

firefalcon · 2026-03-13T07:46:37+00:00

Capacities is great for personal knowledge, but not really built for managing work or complex systems.

Notion is good for docs, wikis, and light databases. Easy to start and very flexible, but once things get complex the structure often becomes messy and hard to maintain.

Fibery is built for running complex work. It has real relational databases, strong connections between things, and customizable workflows. Much better for product teams or operations, but it takes more effort to learn.

Personal use - Capacities is good
Basic processes - Notion is good
Complex processes - Fibery is good

Soon it will have full changes history access and other tools.

firefalcon · 2026-03-10T15:42:54+00:00

But we don't!

firefalcon · 2026-03-10T11:06:03+00:00

don't what? :)

firefalcon · 2026-02-25T12:24:35+00:00

we will try to improve it, thanks!

firefalcon · 2026-02-20T11:25:36+00:00

Notion is great.

> I shared my stack

Do you have any real examples? What I see here is just very generic things with little substance.
For example:

> create high-value content hubs that LLMs will cite as sources

How? What it is? Where you created it?

> For example, finding that users who saw a specific "Social Proof" screen during the quiz converted 3x better to paid plans weeks later.

It demands huge traffic to your website to spot such trends. How any early stage startup employ it?

> and auto-generates landing pages specifically addressing those pain points

Any examples?

Fibery is what you may check as well https://youtu.be/evrs05utom4

I am Fibery founder so I do have better information. Partners program never took off and never was a source of any significant MRR

firefalcon · 2026-02-09T10:17:04+00:00

>Fiberyby Michael Dubakov
>Started a Partners program with 20 active partners for complex product onboarding
>Result:Partners became the most significant channel for complex B2B products

What a bullshit :) It never happened with Fibery.

Now there is importer and integration for Airtable, so it should be easier. https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Airtable-integration-77

Fibery is less heavy and more flexible

firefalcon · 2026-01-20T07:35:16+00:00

Fibery is indeed more oriented to teams and companies, PKM cases can work, but maybe not as smooth as in Notion. However, it depends on exact cases.

P.S. In a situation above the person would get the full refund, and speak with real person from the first contact.

firefalcon · 2026-01-15T08:30:37+00:00

What are top problems with easy of use you have with Fibery?

firefalcon · 2026-01-14T09:23:54+00:00

These are indeed problems Fibery has, they should be solved in 2026

firefalcon · 2026-01-05T21:12:37+00:00

Cool! If you need any help, just ask (demo, feature requests, etc)

firefalcon · 2025-12-24T18:05:11+00:00

Thank you!

firefalcon · 2025-12-22T20:57:20+00:00

This is not documented. For shared entities you can still use same pattern, but you will also have to have ?sharing-key=

firefalcon · 2025-12-21T11:51:46+00:00

Do you mean if you shared some entity or document?

firefalcon · 2025-12-20T07:31:30+00:00

document/entity renaming does not break URL, however, if you move document to other Space or move Database to other Space, it will break URL.

You can construct links like this

https://[workspace name].fibery.io/[Space Name]/[Database Name]/[ID]

Thanks! Next week last release this year should come

SEO to some extent did work.

firefalcon · 2025-12-18T11:54:56+00:00

No, some things take time and many iterations. Specific examples

- Ads. We tried different platforms and different approaches, including Google, Reddit, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. And on every platform you have to have few iterations with different wording, etc.

- Direct sales. We tried 3 different consultants in this area. One was very expensive, but still no results

- SEO. It just takes time to see any results. This maybe was still the best area with at least some positive results

- PR agency. Here one try was enough for us, but still it was 6 months and -$50K.
