Been using Notion for over 2 years now, and unfortunately I must say I am not going to be using them moving forward. You end up with a soup of documents each with their own structure, search is terrible, creating is easy sure - but finding the right content sucks. I'm not sure what the solution is, but after putting Notion through its paces I know this isn't it.

  If you've used both, could you compare them? Why did you like Coda better than Notion?

  Saga’s auto linking looks very useful. The buzzy “tools for thought” (Roam, mem.ai) seem to be missing this. Am I understanding this right?

    Indeed, there is no other tool out there automatically linking documents for you, as far as we know. The idea is that Saga helps you resurface connections and ideas without having to do the manual work yourself. This allows for a more serendipitous discovery of knowledge while you're crafting content or researching a topic. Areas where we see great promise are: - analyzing interviews and notes for product and user research - automatically generate company or support wikis from docs - discover insights while writing meeting/team notes and documentation Currently beta testing realtime collaborative editing and we'll start pushing towards integrating with other tools after that.

      Auto linking is great. Keep pushing on this!

The search is the part that really infuriates me. I find it pretty useless at finding exactly where I've mentioned a term or phrase before, compared to Obsidian or even Craft
