At a glance, it looks like a product that's stored on the company's servers. Why would any company, startup or dinosaur, want to put their knowledge base and documentation in the hand of a new pretty and fancy product that might fold next month?
There's no Linux download, no github, and especially, no server - I stay away from products like that, sorry.

Could it work for a big corporate that would generate a load of docs/need to import from whatever they have today? Maybe not. Could it work for a brand new 1-2 person band with a few bits and pieces? Probably.

Notion allows you to export to PDF/Markdown as well. https://www.notion.so/Export-to-PDF-or-markdown-5406d98f17d2412dafa7cdf9826977ca https://www.notion.so/Export-to-PDF-or-markdown-5406d98f17d2...

A lot of industries does not allow you to just store think on Google Drive, think any industry working with sensitive information like healthcare and the defense industry.

- Blindedwino 8y agoSo I would have to edit my documentation in this app, export to HTML and rsync the files to a web host on our intranet to share it? I'll stick with Mediawiki.
