Amazing product. We use VictoriaMetrics for quite a while, and previously used Loki and our custom Clickhouse/Vector approach for logs and we have switched to VictoriaLogs. It is much better and faster than Loki, same goes with custom CH/Vector thing we had. Kudos to the team, we are waiting for VictoriaTraces to switch Tempo instance to it for opentelemetry stuff.

Since Elasticsearch changed their license, Loki has also appeared as a competitor and the Grafana machine have released a suite of tools that cover the observability categories. It may also be that the license change encouraged users to look for alternatives and there are more now than just being graylog and Elasticsearch.
Clickhouse has proven to also be a very capable database for logs and there are stacks that use it for log storage.
Loki and Clickhouse are not really excelling in what ES is. For example, full text search.
VictoriaLogs is very promising in this regard!
I recently setup Victoria Metrics + https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter + Grafana to get start tracking bandwidth on my top of rack switches in my Datacenter rack which has been a pretty awesome setup. The way you can auto generate a config for your SNMP MIBs with SNMP Exporter was unexpectedly not a terrible experience.
My next task is to get centralized logging going with Victoria Logs + Vector, I'll have to check this out once I get everything setup. I believe I can use LogQL with Victoria Logs but I haven't tried it out yet. https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/logsql/
This is what I've been doing on my cluster:

Here you have Vector in aggregator + agent mode and several sources. VictoriaLogs also recently added Grafana datasource so it is fairly easy to set it up:

I'm a big fan of VictoriaMetrics as well and we use it extensively in my company at high scale.
What is a wiki but a set of notes?
Are we discussing a personal wiki or an internal company wiki? There is a significant distinction between the two.
It will support inter-note linking. So you could build your own personal wiki using Plume. The main difference with Notion will be real-time collaboration (which Plume doesn't support).
I didn't intend to undermine your efforts, by the way. I hope it becomes successful and thrives.
I don't see the appeal of web-based calendar apps. They should be native and able to work offline. Fantastical is a great example of such an app.
On Mac I can recommend MeetingBar [1] for that.
Raycast also has this natively + Alfred has a plugin for it.
That's why I'm working on a local-first with native-like performance Notion alternative using Qt C++ and QML called Plume[1]. It uses an advanced block editor[2] that I built from scratch. All notes are simply plaintext/markdown underneath. Advanced blocks (like Kanban, for example) uses very simple syntax, for example:
{{kanban}}
# Todo
- [ ] item 1
- [ ] item 2
# In Progress
- [ ] item 1
- [ ] item 2
{{/kanban}}
From what I see, this doesn't compare to Notion. Notion is not typically used as a note-taking app, but rather as an internal wiki.

We have a couple of projects like this with similar usage and similar machine sizing.
Still running vmlogs-single, and we will until we see a need to move to vmlogs-cluster version.
