Thanks for the question. Two main things currently. When you update your Notion page or styles it updates your site immediately so it makes for a nice editing experience where you can see what your site would look like easily. Others don't do this as quickly. Could take a minute or two to see updates. Second Potion has a pricing model that is more friendly towards having multiple sites.
I switched from super.so and I absolute love the instant update. Used to smash the refresh button quite a bit to get things to update!
notion websites are so slow. Google's page speed for your home page has a score of 42. Why does it say "fast page speed" and "great seo"? This [1] demo scores 81 and this[2] has a 68.

(I work at Notion) It looks like most of the guidance on Pagespeed for large images, and layout shift due to images. The guidance to fix is to set fixed images sizes for these elements, and to re-encode images into more efficient image formats, at their displayed size instead of their maximum source size. Potion probably doesn't currently know the correct width for an image because they give their users kind of unlim…
Where does adding the ability for Notion to transcode images sit in y'all's backlog? As much as it's not Notion's fault here and an underlying issue of image (re)sizing, it still gives the impression that Notion is slow.
Potion is an awesome project and Noah is a great guy. Been paying him for a while with https://softdiscipline.com , not planning to stop any time soon.
Very off topic but you live in Nelson!!?? Whitewater is such an awesome hill and Baldface is all time! What a great playground you have!
I mean this is cool and all but this is literally double lock in. Notion can't be self hosted and neither can this. Why would you depend on either of these for your website.
Not to mention using Notion as a CMS means you're limited in what you can do, zero extensibility, etc.

Notion allows you to export your stuff as Markdown. Couple of scripts later and you're ready to dump it into whatever other thing you want. It's not that bad.

Most people don't care, they just want a site that works. It's useful because Notion itself is WYSIWYG where whatever you type is what shows up, much more flexible than something like WordPress.
