// EDITOR'S TAKE
Outline is the closest to Nuclino's speed and restraint, with instant search, clean permissions and very little to configure. AppFlowy and Affine offer more, with boards, databases and whiteboards, but that extra surface is exactly what Nuclino deliberately leaves out; XWiki only earns its keep if you need enterprise rights and extensions.
