I like the app but it is too slow to create new items.

Same here — I cannot create an account with a password. If you try to go in and do an email signup, they will punish you for it by emailing you every time with a new password, until you suffered enough that you'll relent and give them access to your Google account. Not a great first impression — especially not after their support tells me that this is for my own security.
I use Notion with a non google e-mail and don't mind the password being e-mailed to me. I have to re-auth maybe once a month, tops, and it's one less password to manage.
I need to log in every time I close the tab. (For me, one less password to manage is not a concern, I have a password manager for that)

#403If they added mind map as a progression, that would be the perfect tool. I really need a hybrid text editor/ list editor / mind map
Let us know when you find the perfect tool.

#404I think Notion tries to do too much (a database? really?) and because of that it's not _great_ at any. Yes, at the end of it you can end up with pretty looking pages but the process is not fun. For example, you _can_ use Notion as Trello, but it always feels like fitting a square peg in a round hole. (a path which Slite and Quip also took)
Apps like Bear on the other hand, don't try be a smarter paper and end up being great at their limited use case.
Maybe, for enterprise customers it has some value, but as a personal user I didn't find much utility in it.

#405Lotus Notes was not dead, it just got reinvented as Notion.

There's a reason nobody really does this: there's just no money in it. Nylas mail is a good example of this: it offered the ability to self-run it and pay them for the license, but nobody really did. I wonder what they would need to charge to make it feasible? $1000 a year? It makes me pretty sad, but it's just such a distraction for a company of Notion's size and stage.
Well, then we should create open-source analog of notion. I actually was itching wondering what could I create in OSS realm. Probably will have a look at this task :)
Trilium is close - it's _more_ flexible, (arbitrary scripts/css) but less 'for free' out of the box.

#408It'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.
You might wanna add codeBeamer from http://www.Intland.com to your list. This one can be self hosted and probably has the largest capabilities of any of the mentioned tools. It’s web based and has a good UI that you can get familiar with in 10 minutes while easy to configure and administrate. Think: Agile team planning + Project Management + Dashboard + Wiki + Documents Management + Requirements Engineering + Workflo…
And you'll only need to spend five figures to use it.

#409Used notion for about 6 months, but stopped for two main reasons: 1. It's extremely slow on even a new iPhone - about 6-7 seconds until I can start typing a note. By then I forget what I wanted to write. It's basically a webview of a very heavy web app, so it's not snappy at all. 2. No offline support whatsoever. In addition it feels like they have abandoned development or are busy being acquired (~bi-weekly updates…
> In addition it feels like they have abandoned development or are busy being acquired (~bi-weekly updates until about three months ago: https://www.notion.so/What-s-New-157765353f2c4705bd45474e5ba... ) Notion founders, do you care to comment on this? My company recently started a paid account on Notion and I'd love to know more.
I also plan to buy a pro plan in the coming months, don't wanna buy a ticket on a sinking ship...
A response would be appreciated

I didn't know about Bear. Just had a look on their website and the application and user experience looks pretty stunning.
However, I am not quite sure it justifies paying for this service when Apple Notes has got a lot better in the past few years (I also feel confident in the privacy approach of Apple).
Out of curiosity, what features make you use Bear and not Notes? I take a lot of notes, and if something can make my life easier, I would seriously consider making the move.
