They use Electron, but don't have a build for Linux. Why.
You can access it via web with any modern web browser, so does it matter?

Definitely, but I'd argue that even with containers etc., we don't yet have the capabilities to make what we know is right, as easy to operate as SaaS. > Suppose your company handles a fair bit of confidential information, and some of that information ends up in Notion as part of your general project management workflow.

This can result in the team being left holding the baby when certain individuals leave, data loss, security issues etc. In 15+ years of enterprise probably two-thirds of the time I've seen this issues and it has been predictable that it would work out this way, but IT didn't help themselves by pretending their solution was better. When IT tries to learn and adopts the tool, or incorporates the needs then things work out better. But, that's only a third of the time.
There is something about Notion that makes it feel very well-made and coherent. It’s one of the few apps I use with this inherent feeling of quality (off the top of my head Sublime Text/Merge, Beyond Compare, Things fall into this category of intangible greatness). Every interaction is delightful, and the app scales really well from basic note-taking to decently complex databases with grouping, filters, relations, te…
Notion's founder here. Thank you for the kind words - we are honored :-) To be honest, nothing we are doing is that new. Most of the ideas came from the 70s-80s (Alan Kay, Doug Engelbart, Ted Nelson...) We are just applying a fresh coat of paint. Of course, there's still a lot more to be done to fully realize these pioneers' dreams of computing as a medium for everyone – not just programmers like us. If you are inter…
It's great to see Notion get continued exposure. I feel it truly is a great step towards productivity online. I made a list earlier (using Notion) of some next-get productivity platforms that caught my eye if anyone is interested: https://www.notion.so/Next-gen-Productivity-Platform-Researc... It includes both these all-in-one type of tools along with nice project management and spreadsheet/db tools like airtable.
On Android also works smoothly even on my low capacity line at home.
Security aspects raised by others is a concern - there is enough secure storage solutions out there it should be high on the roadmap to address that so there is encryption at rest (and at REST :-D ) . Data should only be accesible to team or public. Nobody else, ever.
My 2c.
I use these plus some vim recordings to do bidi synchronization of buffers

Thanks for telling me this. I will definitely avoid Notion now. I want a username/password combo at the very least, both different for every site I use, and preferably with TOTP as well. I never want my email to be used for security purposes as it is among the most hackable target out there.
Yeah dude someone might go through the trouble of hacking your email just so they can find your todo page with an unchecked checkbox for feeding your goldfish.

Perhaps Boostnote? https://boostnote.io/ Been using it for a work journal for a while, and it's pretty reasonable. I used to use RedNotebook before that, but I finally got fed up with the lack of Markdown syntax.
Bootsnote and Joplin works great for notes, but Joplin was less than ideal last time I checked. Hugo is really the tool I think will get me closest to what I'm looking for.

The "quality" feeling of sublime app for me is majorly undermined by the constant nagging popups to pay for it. so many other services I happily pay for and somehow sublime has made me not want to pay for their services.
You know it goes away if you buy it, right? I own Sublime and honestly the nag is so NOT-annoying that I have more than one instance of sublime where I simply haven't bothered to enter the code

I really like Notion and have this same feeling. The app being Electron is a really big bummer for me, though. Performance is terrible on my Android phone. I really want to ditch Evernote but nothing seems to compare still.
