// EDITOR'S TAKE
Logseq is the nearest fit, since block references plus queries get you a good way toward Tana's live views, but it has no equivalent of the supertags that make Tana's objects behave like a schema. AppFlowy approaches the same problem from the other side with real database views inside a page-based editor, so whichever you choose you are trading away either the outline or the typing.
