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.
Out of curiosity, have you tries logseq or silverbullet.md? They both have capabilities to query your notes similar to Notion.
I've had this challenge with structuring notes-data for a while, but haven't found something that suits my workflow yet. I have on my list to experiment with a sqlite solution.
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:
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:
And inside each book I have the quotes linked:
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.
