I need an alternative for Notion that gives me the ability to make a table similar to this one, I tried many ones like AppFlowy, Obsidian and Anytype but i wasn’t able to make one like this -or maybe i don’t know how to make it using them- so what should i do??
Could you please clarify what you mean by “perfect table”?
I assume the issue you are referring to pertains to the inability to insert line breaks within a table cell. While I cannot provide comprehensive information on the other options mentioned, the issue with Obsidian likely stems from its use of Markdown for tables, which does not support line breaks within table cells.
Have you considered utilizing classic notebook applications such as Notesnook or Standard Notes? Joplin is expected to encounter similar issues as Obsidian due to the same Markdown limitations. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
The perfect table for me is the one in the picture, It looks amazing, Anyway i tried Standard Notes and Notesnook.
For Standard Notes, It is impossible to make a good use of it without upgarding your tier.
On the Other hand you can make tables in Notesnook but it looks so poor in functions plus some features i want to use are paid.
My problem with paying for such great projects is that they are so expensive because iam living in a poor country as some people are working the whole month for 60 dollars and everything is so expensive.

Certainly, but for an external observer, it may not be immediately evident what particular features make this table so remarkable for you. Therefore, it would be beneficial if you could clarify your preferences to provide a more accurate recommendation.

Perhaps Cryptee could be a suitable option, as it supports table creation and offers a free plan with full feature availability [1], though storage is limited.
That being said, Notesnook offers regional pricing based on the user’s location, and Standard Notes provides individual pricing arrangements upon request for low-income customers [2].
If your goal is merely to create a table, you could utilize LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. It is likely that you can achieve a similar layout using these office tools.
Even though i switched to obsidian I still have some tables on notion because they are just so versatile and easy to use. The only thing which comes close to that is the Dataloom Plugin on Obsidian. I also tried many different note apps so trust me on this one.
Anytype supports this and many of the other features such as filtering, tagging in tables. Yet, you need to spend some time to recreate what you did in Notion. It has a steep learning curve in general.
You may also check templates, some of which is very useful for me.
I support the idea of using Anytype. Of course, it depends on your needs, but if the ability to create tables is of importance, one can create tables such as those in Simple Tables templates from ANY Experience Gallery (a gallery of templates from the Anytype community). Have a look. If you already tried Anytype, there is nothing easier than installing these templates from the gallery in a new space and playing with them a bit to see how well it suits you. Furthermore, Anytype can be used for free. Anytype has membership plans for when you require more space when using their synchronization, or you can synchronize locally without any limitation in regard to the size of the used space. Otherwise, all features of Anytype are available to you for free.
