But the advice to invest more in engineering is spot-on. It’s clear that Notion went through a period of hypergrowth and likely generated a lot of tech debt, but I’m hoping they’ll pay it off over time.
In particular, as the parent comment mentions, anything involving search or autocomplete has horrible performance. There are also some questionable UX decisions that I personally find annoying, like defaulting to opening a page in a modal rather than the current window.
A good starting point for a roadmap would be the Notion subreddit. Most of the time I Google for a specific feature, the top result is a post in that subreddit requesting the feature in 2019.

Using Apple notes until I find a good alternative.

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'm not sure what the solution is, but after putting Notion through its paces I know this isn't it.

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
No idea, been happy with joplin app to be honest for personal note making. Simple enough and captures most use-cases cases. Just not as elegant as notion, but optionality is great
You could always tell when a company switch their priority from B2C to B2B. Notion felt different when it was first released but in the last few years new competitors were able to replicate what they've done and make it better and faster (e.g. Craft) while notion focused their energy on teams/enterprise features.

I only use notion as a private shared wiki. Do you know of any better apps out there for this?

When a productivity app raises $50m at a >$2b valuation, they have to focus on very large teams / enterprise.
