Notion Acquires Automate.io

I didn’t realize how much Stockholm Syndrome I had with Confluence until we switched to using Notion for our game design documents. It’s fast and responsive, which somehow in 2021 Atlassian still hasn’t figured out how to replicate with any of their products.

Makes sense strategically. I wonder if Zapier will acquire a company like Notion (maybe Coda?) and we'll start seeing bundling occur.

How so? What would be the point of bundling?

Google Sheets seems to be by far the #1 endpoint on Zapier.

Lean automation is asking to grow a little fat at the middle so that it’s easier to view and control data flows.

After fighting the move to Jira/Confluence for years, my company finally migrated away from Notion & Clubhouse. I couldn't be happier. Notion was great when we were <5 people, but it feels like a toy compared to Confluence.

I really can't understand where Notion is going. They come from b2c, made b2c free pivoted to b2b smb and started saying more and more that they are a b2b enterprise company (even though their vision is not really compatible with that). And now they buy a company which is clearly in the b2b smb/b2c space. Confused

Confluence is too often used in use cases it was not design for. That includes being used by companies with less 50 people. This probably contributes to its criticisms. But Confluence will almost always beat Notion when the company reach more than 150 people.
