There seems to be a group of nerds that's apparently pretty huge and have enough decision making power that it was able to tap into.
I use Notion because I have to, not because I like it. Other teams still use Confluence. People said Notion is a lot better than Confluence. Well, I agree I'd rather use it over Confluence, but that's a very low bar for comparison. For ages they didn't have a find-and-replace feature. I just checked, it looks like they've finally added it in the last few months, but this is the first I notice. They claim you can expo…
It has a built in Figma style diagram/flow-chart editor which is handy for architecture documents, infinite array of plugins and the interface is simple, clean and focused.
Notion has become this kitchen sink app where even editing a table is a convoluted mess of an experience.
It has real-time collaboration and support for diagrams (drawio, excalidraw and mermaid).
It can be tempting to want to do it all, but I am focused on building a great wiki and documentation software.
I just don't get notion. I use Apple Notes for everything id use notion for + scratch.txt on every project folder root. (i've used notion, quip, gdocs, dropbox paper)
Notion lives rent free in my mind because while im indifferent to it, people seem to LOVE it. and that's so fascinating.
even this article, I upvoted it because the conversation about notion is interesting, the article itself is a dud after reading it.
we live in a world where Notion is a multi billion dollar company and i have no idea why—now that's interesting!
I enjoyed Notion at first for certain tasks, but it became much less enjoyable as everyone tried to force everything into emoji-laden Notion docs. The Notion spaces used by the Product and Program managers I worked with in the past few years have become a collection of half-finished documents that are always out of date, hard to find, and often superseded by some new Notion page they created but forgot to tell us abo…
Jira doesn't try to be everything. It's a project management app. It does nothing else.
Notion is wiki, CRM, project management, calendar etc.
This is a fun piece of creative writing, but I’m not quite sure of the point it’s trying to make about Notion. Is it that Notion is no longer cool? That might be true but isn’t the most insightful comment. Is it about Notion the company languishing in some way?
Notion is jumping the shark by moving from being a notes organization / mini database product to trying to compete with Salesforce and Hubspot. Just completely a different sector / product.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So far, the only weakness I've found with Obsidian are the tables. Someone needs to build in a killer tables feature. Obsidian is an Electron app; it shouldn't be too hard to build a stripped down version of Google Sheets.

I like Notion but I share the sense that it's not really targeted at my use case anymore. I think I could essentially move everything into Obsidian and lose almost nothing in the process. I just use it for taking notes and writing stuff down. I like how easy it is to drop an image, video, or document into a notion page, but I've only barely used features like databases which seem to be the big selling point, and none…
I'm very curious how and why to use Obsidian well. It's so confusing I've given up multiple times.
