Flowplan brings documents, databases, whiteboards, handwritten notebooks and a daily journal into one page tree – open source (AGPL) and self-hosted in a single container, or hosted in Germany. Databases have ten views, from table and board to timeline, calendar and sprints. Real-time collaboration, offline use, end-to-end encrypted spaces. AI is optional: local with Ollama, your own key, or Apple Intelligence on-device.

Could you build this?
Partial Documents, databases, and views are buildable, but real-time collaboration, offline-safe sync, and a Notion-scale feature set need serious engineering beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Build on a React/TypeScript frontend with a CRDT library such as Yjs or Automerge for real-time sync, backed by Postgres and a WebSocket server, packaged as a single Docker container. The hard parts are conflict-free collaborative editing across block types, the database view engine, and handwriting or whiteboard canvas performance. This requires engineers experienced with distributed sync and editor architecture.
