   As someone who's always on the lookout for the perfect productivity app, I was excited to try out Notion. It promises to be an all-in-one tool for everything from note-taking to project management to personal wikis.

   From the moment you open Notion, you can tell that it's different from other productivity apps. The interface is sleek and modern, and it's easy to navigate. The app is divided into pages, which can be customized with different templates to fit your needs. You can create to-do lists, databases, wikis, calendars, and more.

   One of the things I love about Notion is the ability to create relationships between pages. For example, you can create a database of your favorite books and then link to a page with your book reviews. Or you can create a to-do list and link to a page with notes about the task. This feature makes it easy to keep all of your information in one place and to connect related items.

   🏁 Competitors: Microsoft Loop

   👍 Pros:    Highly customizable|All in one|Collaboration|Cross platform

   👎 Cons:    Steep learning curve

• Can Git or any other VCS be used as a database instead of SQL/NoSQL ones? Have you ever seen such a thing?

  Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend. Source: 6 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you build your personal start page?

  Flat text. I'd lean strongly toward something written using Markdown and converted to HTML, though depending on the specific configuration I wanted, straight raw HTML could very well end up being the format. This is a case where content is vastly more significant than presentation or tools used, and simpler is better. Some might also use tools such as Emacs org-mode, Joey Hess's Ikiwiki (https://ikiwiki.info/),... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• A good architecture for user-generated database of active police officers that are documented as being dangerous - had complaints lodged against them, lawsuits, appeared in the press, were recorded behaving questionably, etc.?

  This is ostensibly the approach by ikiwiki, which uses Git, and also that of Code Co-op (a distributed revision control system with a wiki feature). Source: almost 3 years ago

• My blog post workflow

  I manage my non-work and work-adjacent tasks in Notion. Whenever I have an idea, regardless of how big or small or silly or achievable it is, I'll add it to Notion, and use labels to categorise it by type of output (e.g. blog, silly project, website update). Today I wanted to write a short post for my site. I clicked on the filtered blog post view, and selected this one (because I hoped it would be a quick one!). - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• UI frameworks are stuck in the last decade

  I work on a large SPA: https://notion.so It’s a document editing application. A document title might occur in the browser’s titlebar, in the header of the main editor, in a “mention” (a link to the document), and in multiple places in the user’s sidebar - like in both their “Favorites” section and in the the contents of their team. When the user edits the document title, we need to update all those UI bits to... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
