Ugh… I have been through so many notes apps and half of them look like this one… boostnote, quicksilver, apple notes… all offer just the basics. I’m with Notion right now because I can add files and images easily, and can create some more complex layouts that you can’t achieve with markdown, but I’m still not satisfied… Notion biggest flaw for me is trying to make every table a relationship database.
- rjzzleep 5y agoI haven't used notion, but isn't that what they market as their biggest selling point? It's basically a modern pretty Access in some ways. Can you explain why you dislike that part?
- julianz 5y agoBecause sometimes you just want a bit of tabular formatting within a note. The table feature is really, really cool when you want to use it, but if you don't it's a bit OTT - e.g. every table has a bunch of chrome at the bottom with a row count, some auto-totalling things, a new row button etc. I'm also a little unclear what happens if I export to another product, do my tables show up as tables in the new product or as a thousand small notes each with one row of one table in?
- ibdf 5y agoWhat @julianz said... the relationship stuff is great... but not every table have to act that way. Sometimes you have some content that are tabular in nature, but don't need the whole formatting they force it on you.
