> [@Oshyan](#): > > I of course love that this scenario is free, however I personally need (and Notion growth was incredibly supported by): **free collaborators**. Not full accounts, just collaborators, if that makes sense. In other words they have their own free, solo workspace, I have mine, and I don’t manage or pay for their account, but we can collaborate in each others’ workspaces in some way. +1. I think that everybody that uses Fibery totally agrees that it’s worth the price. Would be really helpful if you can collaborate with (constantly changing) freelancers without having to pay for their accounts. > [@Oshyan](#): > > extremely helpful to be able to set per-Space or at least global Workspace defaults for types to **only** show in linking (by default) > [@Oshyan](#): > > (this is a little too extreme, but I do _almost_ feel this way because fully 80% of my DBs I basically never link to this way, I just use normal Relationships, which already have good filtering, etc. built-in) +1. We currently have \>100 databases in our workspace. A lot of them because of workarounds. It’s not helpful for user to see them all, since only a few are the ones that are suitable for linking. > [@Oshyan](#): > > you suddenly have this massive problem of actually _finding_ what you’re looking for, both in regular search and (as mentioned above) in link search. +1. The current flaw is that if you link A to B and B to C that there is no good way to find out that A is also (indirect) related to C. And therefor there is no easy way to ‘connect the dots’. > [@Oshyan](#): > > I’ll note that I bet people like @Sarah_Arminta and @YvetteLans probably have similarly or even more expansive PKM setups they might be able to share some or Our current set-up is really simple. It’s fully integrated in the rest of the workspace so hard to share it as template. But we have databases for: - Notes - Themes - Tags Further we have a complete workspace with projects, goals, planning, CRM etc. It’s all connected. But the knowledge management part is not comprehensive. > [@Oshyan](#): > > The overload of databases became especially egregious when I added Google Calendar integration into my workspace, which is now completely “polluted” with one-off calendar events and reminders, forcing me to either remove integration, or change how I use Google Calendar. We’ve also didn’t integrate Google Calendar because we can’t make it work in the workspace we’ve built. > [@Oshyan](#): > > The same and perhaps worse happened when I added the more recent Readwise sync. It’s even more infrequent that I want to link to something like a _highlight_ in free text (for my personal use case; I can imagine for others it could be quite common!). At first I was really happy with the release of the Readwise sync. But I didn’t find a way yet to integrate it in the PKM part of the workspace. - Since you can’t change a highlight - And can’t link a part of a highlight (i.e. a sentence) to something else in the workspace Thought about auto creating a note entity per highlight so you can change them, but it feels really odd for me to do that 🧐 > [@YvetteLans](#): > > There is no good option to connect a personal PKM workspace with another team workspace in Fibery. And this is still a bummer. For ourselves and our clients. Even when we do have good permissions, it still feels really odd to have your PKM inside the company’s workspace. Because of all the above, the further development of our PKM is kinda on hold. It functions as is with the simple databases mentioned above, but it could be a way better solution in the future. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/should-i-invest-in-fibery-individual-pkm-use-case/3590)._
