I like the idea of something like Notion but I have no idea how I would preserve my data or ever migrate it. I imagine you have to have some pretty complex stuff going on to have rich text, images, databases, macros and whatever else all in a file or notebook. Getting it out in some sort of format may not be too hard, but how would you ever migrate that to new software?

Am I over thinking this?

I know Obsidian stores everything in plaintext, but how would something like Notion or Affine (a self-hosted one) compare.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you migrate from Joplin to Notion?

    I did the opposite (so I could self-host) but I really miss Notion. Plugins in Joplin are helpful but I really miss all of the table functions in Notion, Joplin doesn't come close and if it does, it's difficult to setup + use.

    This being said: it was pretty annoying to move all of my stuff from Joplin to Notion. Took a good bit of work to get things close to what I wanted them to be :(
