   Extremely helpful- made life easier

   My remote-first start-up has eliminated more than 200+ hours of meetings and 1000s of mismanaged documents because our entire communication happens through Notion.

   👍 Pros:    Clean ui|File sharing|Modular

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve

   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

• Notion Mail Is Out

  I really do not want to see what a mail client with the UX of notion looks like. If anyone uses Notion and really cannot stand their UX, I'd strongly recommend Whimsical: https://whimsical.com/ -- it can do a bit of Trello too. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days 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 / about 1 year ago
