#2I guess I might as well ask here. I tried notion 1-2 years [0] ago, and the features were great. I'd even have considered paying for it. But the performance was atrocious. It made Gmail seem fast. Have things Improved on that front?
[0] I've always been bad at remembering how much time passed, but COVID really didn't help … So those numbers might be off.
Edit: Thanks everyone, sounds like I'll at least give it another chance.

I’ve found the performance to be pretty good, and I use it most days. I certainly rarely feel as though I’m waiting for it. The global search can take upto a second to return results, but that is as bad as it gets for me.
I recall some blog post about a major refactoring/sharding they did sometime in the last few years. Maybe that helped?

#4I'm glad it works for them, and I am a little skeptical whenever someone fawns over Notion (is it a paid placement? Is it someone who is trying sell templates?). To me, as someone who uses Notion for work, it is a dystopian vision, like using JIRA for my personal life's tasks.
I very much prefer simple, low tech solutions to dealing with my life's problems.

We use it daily. It's way, way better than it used to be, but there's still times it feels a little sluggish. I'd definitely recommend giving it another go though.

I share the skepticism, but I will admit that I can see it benefiting some people. I just know myself enough to know that I probably would not be consistent enough to keep it updated.
For my day to day, I currently just use Zim. Not perfect, but it is just text and just works:D

#10I use Whatboard.app and airtable for this very purpose. Notion is great, but I can't seem to integrate it into my life.
