[FR] Clearer description of Appflowy and what it does/can do

[redactedaccount]

Description

Came here from a discussion on Obsidian.md and someone mentioned Appflowy and I became frustrated with the fact that the website doesn't actually describe what Appflowy is or what it can do, just that it's an open source alternative to another program called Notion.

The documentation is very pretty, but fleshing out the 'about' is sorely needed.

Impact

People shopping around for a new note taking app (is this a note taking app? I'm only assuming as such because Obsidian.md is)

Additional Context

No response

Hi @redactedaccount , thanks for your feedback. I assume you've checked out our official website: https://appflowy.io/

Currently, people use it to take notes, track tasks and projects, and manage consulting contracts. We're working on the collaboration feature, which will allow a team to main a centralized knowledge base, run development sprints, manage goals, etc.

I agree with @redactedaccount here. Had to go looking through the Discourse forum and Discord server just to find out if the Kanban board has collaborative features.

tbh, I agree with @redactedaccount I was trying to find out what is the full capability of features from Appflowy, but no luck. Like what ☝️ @ghost tried to find out about Kanband.

I was trying to find out whether Appflowy is capable of calculating a formula in a dynamic table like how Excel has the ability but in much simplified version with more better visual. The formula will be just a simple sum() with *, +, -, and /.

Speaking of "Notion alternative" - it would help with discovery to add that tag to the repo.

I don't see AppFlowy at https://github.com/topics/notion-alternative

@dandv , thank you so much for the tip. I have added the tag.
