So what is it?

Awesome AFFiNE is a community-curated collection of resources for AFFiNE, an open-source workspace app that combines note-taking, whiteboards, and databases. Think of it as a directory or "starter pack" that helps people find useful extras for AFFiNE all in one place, rather than hunting for them across the internet. The repository is organized into categories. Templates offer ready-made documents like Cornell notes, meal plans, travel itineraries, and digital planners that you can use right away. Plugins extend what AFFiNE can do, such as adding an AI writing copilot or bookmark blocks. The Tools section includes utilities for importing data from other apps, exporting your workspace to markdown files, or even turning your notes into a blog site. There are also case studies showing apps built using the same underlying technology as AFFiNE. This collection is for anyone using AFFiNE who wants to get more out of it. A student might grab a Cornell notes template, a team could use a standard operating procedure template to document their processes, and a developer might explore the plugin templates or design system to build custom features. It is also useful for people considering AFFiNE as an alternative to tools like Notion or Evernote, since the guides section includes comparisons and setup tutorials for self-hosting on platforms like Synology NAS, Vercel, or Docker. The project stands out for its community-driven nature. Anyone who has built an AFFiNE-related tool, written a guide, or created a template can submit it via a pull request to be included. There are also links to public workspaces where you can see how other people actually use the app in practice, which is helpful for newcomers looking for inspiration. The list also points to broader resources like developer docs and design assets for those who want to dig into how the platform is built.
