Will the tables in the Notion mobile app still be so painfully slow? Every time I scroll few rows down (in a table with few than 100 rows with dozen columns), the app hangs for several seconds while trying to fetch/render (who knows what it's actually doing) few additional rows. When I edit a row and return back to the table view, scroll position is lost and I have to suffer through the fetching once again.
- nailer 2y agoThey’re a very un-user focused company. They used the | cursor for any horizontally scrolling content for years, making a kanban board with non default states is nightmarishly complex, and there’s a billion odd UI slownesses and niggles. But they’re recently added AI.

- threetonesun 2y agoNotion is a great example of my hatred of the current "upgrade or die" delivery method of software. Notion 1.0, when it was mostly text with a unique way to view tabular data, was fast and enjoyable to use. Once it shifted to competing with Atlassian et al, it acquired all the bloat those products already have.

- satvikpendem 2y agoNotion was never fast, and I've been using it on and off for the past 10 years or so.
- threetonesun 2y agoCompared to a plain text editor, no. Compared to documentation + Access hybrids, I'd say it was good enough. The lack of true offline support has always been a big downside. And by fast I mostly mean, when you did a / command, the menu came up quickly. Now it's stuffed with so many options as to be useless.
