I'm not sure this is particularly damning criticism of Notion, but rather of the cult of productivity that has taken hold of a corner of the internet over the last few years. Roam, Superhuman, Obsidian, et al, are all in this too.
I actually found Notion pretty good as a company wiki at a previous role. It has its issues, and the engineers liked it less than people in non-technical roles, but as an accessible wiki with lightweight structuring of data, it's pretty good.
- radu_floricica 4y agoSuperhuman is Really useful. And almost completely devoid of friction.
- SaulJLH 4y agoSite's a bit of a turn off in several ways: https://superhuman.com/ https://superhuman.com/ Still, guess I might give it shot...
- SaulJLH 4y agoLOL what... Won't even let me dload/test anything. Wants me to pay 30/mth via cc 1st. Yeah, no...
- cercatrova 4y agoIt self selects for people who have the propensity to pay. In that case I think keeping it behind a pay wall is useful, for them.

- gbourne 4y agoI'm giving Superhuman a second go. So far it is O.K. - I keep going back to Gmail, perhaps because I'm so use to its workflow.
- danpalmer 4y agoYeah I'm not saying that it's bad, for the right person I'm sure it's a good product. My point was that it's part of this productivity cult. I think there's a lot of diminishing returns involved.
