Sounds like this is an early revision: > You are looking at Notion 0.5. We are working hard on the 1.0 that would have a lot more ideas flushed out. Stay tuned, and thank you for your feedback. http://www.producthunt.com/tech/notion-4#comment-147200

> ideas flushed out.

So there are too many ideas as it is?

PDF support? It blows my mind how bad PDF support is in all of these notebook/data organizing apps (I'm looking at you OneNote) given how probably the vast majority of non-HTML digital documents are in PDF format.

I was just looking up how to insert PDFs into one note and was shocked at how terrible it was. You have to do some bullshit Print to OneNote, which just inserts each PDF as a page in your section.

Just awful.

Evernote has very good PDF support but you need a premium subscription to make it actually useful. I clip PDFs to Evernote and annotate them all the time.

It's not very good. Not that stable in my experience and none of the cross-linking/tagging tools OneNote has.

I've been thinking about this a bit today[1], because I fear that Evernote is dying. I love and pay for Evernote, but they've been stagnant for years now. They're slowly adding features, but absolutely nothing that I care about.

As far as I can tell, there's really no functional equivalent to what Evernote does: a bucket you can throw data into and search for it later. OneNote probably comes closest from a purely note-taking standpoint, but it's missing some of the key features. This makes me a little nervous, as I now realize how reliant I am on a tool that I have very little confidence in.
