Almost paid for Notion twice but I never do it… because of the damn tables… Just let add me add a simple non relational table where I can have row and column headers.
Not every tabular data needs to look like a database. And finally… it’s so unclear what they are working on that I just don’t want to invest my time on it if I don’t know where this product is going. So much potential…
- knubie 5y ago> Just let add me add a simple non relational table where I can have row and column headers. Could you explain more what you mean by this? Or give an example of some software that behaves like what you're describing?
- leokennis 5y agoI’m guessing it’s the fact that every column needs to “be something” (text, number, checkbox etc.). While in less strict systems (Word, Apple Notes, whatever) I can just create a 10x10 table, and randomly put images in one cell and text in another etc.
- makeitdouble 5y agonot OP, but the same frustration. Imagine a table you write in markdown, like: | | pro | con | |——-|————-|————-| | A |loud |heavy| | B |light|flimsy| You can’t have it inlined as just a table, it needs to become a database with filterable columns that you can’t lock, you add each lines as a row etc.
- el_zako 5y agoTables in Confluence are surprisingly good. It just works the way you expect. https://bit.ly/3xtwqXR https://bit.ly/3xtwqXR
- Aeolun 5y agoExcept when doing diffs, then changing something in the table blows it up entirely (well, makes it pretty useless).
