Page load, painting, uploading, everything. It's all very very slow. I use Notion very heavily at work, and until March of this year personally. In early 2020 I switched to Roam and I can't go back now. Roam is so amazingly fast it's like they're cheating or something. I wish every app would adopt the way Roam does it. Load everything up front.
But, everything is slow these days. Aside from Roam, HN and maybe a handful of native iOS apps, I can't really name any app/site that I use on daily basis that isn't painfully slow.
- zestyping 6y agoThis is why I've never left Notational Velocity. Too hard to switch to something slow.
- ksec 6y agoRoam as in the one linked below? Seems like a very different app to Notion. https://roamresearch.com https://roamresearch.com
- ryanSrich 6y agoIt solves the same problems for me. Because Roam is almost like a markup language, you can make it do a lot of what Notion does. Especially if you use Notion purely as a personal wiki + task manager. Notion is much better for businesses IMO. Like I said above, I use it for my startup. Specifically for task management, and even for our public docs site, ex: https://docs.haekka.com/ https://docs.haekka.com/
- mvp 6y agoRoam takes a while to startup. Once up, it's quite fast to switch between pages. A bit like an IDE. It's still browser based I think, and there are no native apps for Android and iOS. So I feel constrained when I'm not at the desktop. Notion mobile apps are quite good, so I never have to tell myself I'll do something when I go to my desktop.
