I can't seem to grasp this, Notion also has notion.com registered, and it resolves perfectly, but is 302 redirecting to notion.so Why? Was no one from Notion around during the 2010 takedowns of .ly domains?

Cutesy domain names using country TLDs really need to stop - if anything "notion.so" should redirect to dot com.

  Exactly, and notion.so doesn't even have unique meaning going for it.

  Am I the only one who doesn't get the cute joke behind notion using a .so TLD?

Apparently not. Registries is something most people don't think about until its too late.

Apparently that was just the best available notion domain when they first launched, and I guess they never got around to transitioning once they acquired notion.com: https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/f6x9mk/why_the_so_domain/fi8l82f/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/f6x9mk/why_the_so_d...

  "API access coming soon!" - 3+ years ago "Offline mode is in the works" - 2+ years ago I don't trust anything that Notion promises. Changing to .com is probably the simplest of those three, too. I have no idea what their backend looks like but I know I could make that change in 10 minutes on mine.
