without seeing numbers you don’t know whether it’s good or not for them, it’s possible that they get plenty of growth through these channels
At what cost? If growth means the platform cannot handle the traffic properly, you’ll loose users.

If all you know is JIRA then Notion feels like a breath of fresh air. Like it's not fast, but I never really expected blinding speed since Notion pages are so dynamic. But it's also not JIRA's click on something then wait a few seconds for the UI to catch up on a many thousand dollar laptop.
People who have not used a lot of JIRA may not understand that there is "slow" and then there is "JIRA slow" when it comes to webapps.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but after putting Notion through its paces I know this isn't it.
Any insight into why this particular company?
Seems like overkill to get the integrations into a single product. Surely, buy 25% shares and seat on the board. Make a contract that Notion integrations are advertised first and everything else is encouraged to work with it. That way automate still has a larger target market and provides a channel into Notion sales. This kills automate's growth. I wonder what the price tag was.
Been using Notion for over 2 years now, and unfortunately I must say I am not going to be using them moving forward. You end up with a soup of documents each with their own structure, search is terrible, creating is easy sure - but finding the right content sucks.

I think the point about performance seems relevant in my experience. This is a problem Slite seems to be facing as well. We used both for a while and actually gave their teams a lot of feedback. They were very grateful and communicated well, but moved very slowly and performance decreased quite a bit over time. We ended up focusing most of our planning/note taking/scheduling efforts in Linear instead. Much, much diff…
I agree that you can't do Notion in a weekend, I have been working on something similar and it took me 8 months full time to have something that starts to look ok.
But that's also why I'm not bearish on having good performance in that kind of app. Notion made very dubious choices regarding their data model which explains why it is slow. Slite did not, but I thought that Slite had better performance though
If any Notion manager is reading this: Please stop spending endless dollars on youtube stars and affiliate marketing. Almost every Youtube star that has a channel on productivity (Thomas Frank, Ali Abdaal and a dozen others) makes paid videos about Notion. By doing that you don't get organic growth, and obviously your platform cannot handle all the new users. Whenever I try to link a page to another by hitting `@` si…
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.
I hang on in the hopes they will address the problem.
