![]() Notion itself looks like it has pivoted into a database management app (with some project management elements built into it) recently and does a great job at it. However, as mentioned previously, these are just very very advanced note taking apps with a bunch of other functionality built in. I recently saw a twitter user make presentations on Notion, and the first question I had was why? Isn’t it just better to use a tool that’s actually been made to develop presentations through thousands of hours of programming? Don’t get me wrong, the idea of a magical one app for everything is so enticing, it has made me want to switch to a minimalist and single app configuration multiple times to no avail. Over the last few years following productivity circles and twitter, I have come across posts/articles showing things people using these applications to try and force them to work in a way the app isn’t designed to. The analogy of fitting a square peg in a round hole comes to mind. My objection (or apprehension), however, comes from the fact when people try to use such apps for a purpose they are not meant for. If the system works for you, kudos and keep at it. They’re meant to capture, process and create ideas and meaningful output. ![]() At the heart of it all, Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, Roam, etc. It’s incredible to watch people base their entire lives and careers using such tools. Before I begin this, I have to preface it all by saying that Notion (and similar tools that are all the craze these days) are excellent apps.
