Feels like both the comments in here are paid for by Notion somehow.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoNotion has a strangely huge and fanatic fan base so it's not surprising It's like a cult
- molszanski 5y agoThere are a few cults :D - Notion Nation - Roam Legion - Zettelkasten Zealots - Bear Bros PS. Add more ;)
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoIt's even worse than I thought
- morituri 5y agoObsidian Ocelots?
- molszanski 5y agoSince Obsidian is a glass stone, it can be something related to mining?
- motoboi 5y agoObsidian Dwarf Gang Member
- WJW 5y agoAlso the: - Evernote Evangelists - Orgmode Promotion Society - Plaintext Patriots - Joplin Javelins - Obsidian Organisation etc etc etc
- LightG 5y agoTesla Taliban
- neonnoodle 5y ago> - Orgmode Promotion Society Special OPS reporting for duty :-)
- molszanski 5y agoOrgmod Orthodoxer! :)
- viraptor 5y agoOrgmode reveling group, for some recursion...
- molszanski 5y ago> Plaintext Promotion Society I think this was the best of them all :D
- smileybarry 5y ago- Markdown Militants - OneNote Outlanders - MSBuild Masochists
- savolai 5y agoThere are two cults: * those who appreciate effortless UX that doesn't ask users to dedicate their lives to learning arcane systems i.e. CLI UIs but allow focusing on life outside computers. Notion is indeed a step forward for the industry for them. * those who appreciate the responsiveness of CLI and don't mind the learning curve since the investment for them is worth the price. For them, Notion probably doesn't give sufficient control over their workflows and data. These are justifiable value choices. Calling each other cults only erodes the discussion into name calling. So please don't.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoYou're just rambling... I can't even tell what you are trying to say. Slow down

- langsoul-com 5y agoEh, it's just a good product. As soon as it becomes shit, expect everyone to jump on the next product. Just like people who used to like evernote, but not any more.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoI never said anything about the product being good or bad. Why do you need to make that comment after all I said was it has a big fan base?
- Angostura 5y agoBecause the implication is that people as saying it is a good product, not because it’s a good product, but because they are part of a cult
- politelemon 5y agoWhat gives you that Notion?
- hoppyhoppy2 5y agoFrom the HN commenting guidelines: >Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html*
- oblio 5y agoYeah, that kind of died the day this was published: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/corporate-marketing/social-marketing/community-management/ https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/corporate-market... Gitlab said out loud what we were all thinking: companies have automation in place to follow big communities such as HN and notify their developer evangelists and marketing teams and have them reply and create "buzz". Aka, shills :-)
- viraptor 5y agoThere's a difference between people paid to post positive things about a project whenever it's mentioned and people paid to communicate about a project. One is shilling, the other is... communicating about a project. There's a difference and saying they're the same thing is quite cynic.
- hwers 5y agoThey should probably be transparent about it in latter case though (which they aren’t always)
- cookie_monsta 5y agoDo you think that people should be banned from commenting on things they work on? Seems counterproductive to me.
- oblio 5y agoNo. But they should be transparent about it. Which they have an incentive to not be, since at this point we're talking about real money.
- srvmshr 5y agoI am an independent developer based currently in Japan. I work in business intelligence with a gratis role in a national environmental conservation organization. I have no affiliation to Notion. I have used their product for last two years and generally enjoy the productivity boost. I used to be a premium Evernote customer a few years ago. Hope that clears the matter with you. Please understand that regular HN contributors do not generally engage being paid shill or voting ring members. Some of us happily choose the dignity here over the chaos in paid social media.
- mas-ev 5y agoIt's weird to suggest something like that when Notion has a rapidly growing user base. It's a great app and has a lot of things going right for it. They are building a platform for others to also share their customized pages/databases. Tons of templates and resources to learn how to effectively use the tool. You can try to draw comparisons but I think they and Figma are very innovative products growing in similar ways.
- oblio 5y agoHN is the target of a ton of marketing groups. They have alerts set up for keywords.
- mmanciop 5y agoOh yes. And OKRs on engagement.
