I think their real innovation was the community and getting "cosy productivity" during Covid going. They are more of a social phenomenon than a technical one.

- 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.

- 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.
