The company I worked for uses Notion, so I use it quite a lot. Howver, I still haven't reached the point where I look at it as a "org mode for the emacs challe

  We also use Notion in my company. The editor is horrendous. It's absolutely crazy how bad it is for my use of writing documentation. I'm also biased, I do love emacs with evil and markdown modes, and I use neovim as my main editor again nowadays. Notion just gets in your way, and I also prefer the classic 80 characters a row, clean RFC format over whatever notion gives with emojis and colors. Some things I really don't like with Notion: - Markdown import has been broken the whole two years I needed to store stuff in Notion. I prefer writing in emacs and importing to Notion. Always problems with that. - The editor is just always having some problems when you use `code` blocks or other formatting. - The search is unusable. - It is slow and I either need to install an Electron app or use it from browser. How I cope with it nowadays is I just write my text in emacs using markdown mode, then paste it to Notion in one code block to keep at least some of my formatting and forget my text into the black hole of Notion where I cannot find anything after a few weeks. Edit: What would be cool is an API that plugs into the editor, such as vim or emacs, that allows me to organize my texts in the editor and upload from there to the Notion server without me needing to open their app. I could see all my documents from this mode, edit them and so on...
