Thanks for the pointers everyone, there were quite a few that weren't on my radar. My use-case isn't a "personal knowledge graph", I'm building an ADU and so I'm looking for a lot of components: todo lists, inspiration boards, costing/spreadsheets, ordering lists, documents.
Notion looks to be pretty capable in that regard, so the knowledge graph options really fell short (Logseq, Obsidian, Joplin, Trilium, Craft). They are likely good if your use case is in their lane.
Anynote looks like a good option, except it doesn't have a web client, just the Android/iOS (and MacOS I guess?).
Milanote sounds like a possible option if my use were more inspiration-board heavy.
I'll probably give Anynote a try, but Notion really does seem to be a compelling product if it weren't for the jackassery that lead to this thread to begin with.
FYI: I spent around 30-45 minutes trying Anynote, trying to match what they were showing in the introduction video (a todo list of tasks, where each task was a list), but it looks like creating a new space results in standard objects like "Task" needing to be recreated; the new Space had like 2 standard objects included. So I switched over to Notion and in <5m I was able to get going.
I was just trying to get a list of building supplies, one of which was the doors I wanted to use, to have a page where I could put a link to the product page for the doors I found.
Anynote looks promising, if I could understand why I didn't have what look to be the "standard objects" in a new space.
I kinda dislike where Notion is heading though, forcing more and more things on their users without any ways to disable them. But yes, it's capable to do what you are looking for.
Maybe Affine could also work though, you can self-host it and it's more customizable: https://affine.pro/
