Notion has no doubt taken note that a lot of people (myself included) use them as a quick and dirty wswyg web site builder. This new feature can be used for a lot of things, but it strikes me as particularly good for that use case. In fact, if I were a gambling man, I'd wager that their product roadmap is full of gems like this and are leading to them positioning themselves as a competitor to the likes of Squarespace and Wordpress.

Really cool to read about the source for the idea and how it developed over time. But it continues to be disappointing that notion’s “free for individual students and educators” plan only applies to colleges with a .edu domain.

I find myself really wishing that something like notion was being developed on a not for profit basis with more portability for data. I always feel the same way about Twitter; there’s so much utility being built here but the profit motive makes it hard to invest in long term because eventually it will be bought out or something else.

I mean I don’t have a solution here but it’s a shame that tools like these represent the digital public commons but they’re built and controlled by profit motivated provare entities.

This seems similar and less powerful, though perhaps more user-friendly, compared to how web template engines can copy content from multiple sources.

How different is this from the same concept in Confluence that allows you to embed pages or excerpts from other pages?

Notion claims it can be a 1 stop replacement for Confluence, Jira and Trello. Has anyone tried that? How did it go?
