Notable Notion!
What do you like best about the product?
What I really liked about Notion is that it allowed for easy creation of website. It was easy that you are able to create a portfolio website in a flash. Also, that it allows for easy access of your board on Miro. And, not to forget that I am able to do project management in it as well!
What do you dislike about the product?
What's there to not like? Nothing. Loved Notion. Everything you need seems to be there. But let me think. What can Notion do to make my experience better? For now, none. But would definitely help to get more than the 1k blocks allowed for free membership. Hehe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and a lot more! Helped me in creating a simple website for portfolio. But there's a lot more I havent played with yet. I know there's a lot more to learn and a lot more valuable features I havent discovered yet.
Best way to keep my life balanced
What do you like best about the product?
everything! with notion i keep track of all aspects of my life in one place, from my uni notes up to my recipes, anything about my life that i need to remember is there!
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes it takes a little while to setup a perfect layout or get something to do exactly what you qant, but with a couple tries or a video or two you eventually get there!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all of my life problems, specially with organization, i have everything so perfectly put into different pages and folders and then all connected at the same time its amazing
Notion is the all-in-one Swiss army knife (or legos for adults)
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility and integration of other tools now with its API technologies, as well as the advancement of integrated A.I. I've been using Notion for over 3 years and it's completely transformed the way I've worked and process information. Notion stands out against all others with their ability to use relational databases, something that's become extremely useful for sifting through information and seeing how connections are made. Also the ability to customize formulas has been a game changer in terms of my abilities to personalize all of my personal and business practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion has some quirks, it's also sometimes "fragile" as they have some things I'd really like to see. Like being able to lock pages but still create new entries. Notion also has some page loading issues and other glitches where I'll see older related pages showing up in the customize this page that there is no way to remove. Most of all, it really needs an offline mode... something I hope happens one day soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me with my day job in performing tasks, such as social media management and website updates. The integration of AI has helped me write better posts and think about information in a new way. For my business and personal life, it maintains all of my connections, transactions, notes, and references that help me become better at what I do.
Useful
What do you like best about the product?
I like that notion is easy to use. I keep a lot of things in there. I also like that with a little digging, you can create many custom solutions, integrate databases, and build your own knowledge management system or project management system. I use it for personal projects, class notes reviews and everything else.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like if notion offered a backup feature to export your data regularly as md files maybe. It might be a little hard with databases and stuff, but at the least the basic building blocks of pages. I think those can be downloaded as md files.
I would also like an 'open in a new page' button when right-clicking pages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have several personal projects that I like to keep track of in notion. I also keep notes from classes I take. Overall it's making me more productive I think.
Powerful,
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Notion's flexibility. Notes can have many different types of content including text, PDFs, links, photos, and videos. You can connect to more than 20 apps like Google Drive, GitHub, Slack, Dropbox and even Zoom. I'm not very familiar with databases, but using them in Notion is very intuitive and almost addictive. I keep finding more ways tomake my life simpler every time I use them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a task list is not easy. It's simple to add a due date to any note or database. But it's just not possible to create a standalone list of tasks due for a specific date or topic from all of your notes and databases. Yes, you can see a list if you go to the main menu and select Updates > Inbox. But you cannot embed a customized version of this list on any of your pages. Frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's making it easier to find and reuse processes that I've created. The search function is very good. I spend less time looking for information that I know I have and more time creating with it.
Great note taking software, mostly correctly executed with some room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to enter text and data into. Great shortcuts for various tasks. Great for inserting, embedding images and files. App lets me capture handwritten notes easily and bin into an inbox which I can then go back to my computer to re-organize. Table and database very customizable. Served as my notetaking and notebook entry for the most parts. Overall, I prefer it over OneNote and EverNote. Probably one of the best if not the best notetaking app out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to built in more general-user intuition rather than Notion-specific quirks. For example, if I move cursor before some text, then enter the shortcut for heading, instead of creating heading before the initial text, it creates heading after (?!#). Also, table and database entry table needs to be more Excel-like (sorry guys, 99% of us were used to Excel before Notion came along) - do not try to re-invent cell entry beyond Excel based on your own (programmer's) idiosyncratic habits. If I move to cell and start to type, overwrite the original text (that's what Excel does, if I want to append, I will click within it); selecting cells is much harder than Excel - again, don't try to re-invent table cell entry. Template creation is also not the most intuitive and took some time to get the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customizable timeline display over just note taking.
The all in one simple database solution for life admining.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used notes on my iPhone alongside Notion for a few years now because Notes is just a bit simpler and quicker than getting into Notion. Recently, however, I had an issue with my Notes app where I couldn't sync it to another family member's account. Right then, I decided to bite the bullet and transfer everything over to Notion. I requested my data download from iCloud, and I'm waiting for the data to come through so I can put it on a Notion Subpage.
One simple sub-page is enough for ALL of my iPhone notes.
I once used Nontion as project management software to host an 80-person virtual retreat over the pandemic, which supplied our organization with a free multi-user pro account.
I use Notion to host a recipe blog.
I use Notion to write my substack blog.
I use Notion as a contact tracker to keep in touch with people in my spiritual community.
When I have information I want to share with people, I can organize it in Notion tables and show people graphically/visually what I want them to see.
I don't need to code anything to make all of this happen; I've stopped using my Elementor and WordPress because Notion, in combination with my Substack blog, is all I need to publish my content.
I even use Notion for E-commerce, whereby I put a list of ingredients and offer customers an opportunity to buy my recipes and then make slick little callout links for people to click on to purchase either the recipe or buy my teaching. The links go to a stripe site, and BAM I now have a Notion-based e-commerce site.

What do you dislike about the product?
Please make it so that I can share portions of tables/databases without the person I'm sharing the part of the database with able to see the entire database. This is the only thing that bothers me about Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have designed websites in wordpress with Elementor; I don't need to do that anymore. Notion, in combination with a Substack Blog, has eliminated my need to design a website for a recent business I've started. I every time I think about designing a new website for this business I ask myself, could Notion do that? And while not every solution has been perfect, it has worked and is much simpler than designing something for WordPress.
I fell in love with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is extremely flexible and provides the needed features to adjust your workspace to your needs within your individual workflows.
I tested plenty of other tools like Trello, Asana and other. But I always ended spending more time switching between tools than actually working on my tasks.
Notion helped me to organize my projects in an effective way. So I started to implement it with my clients as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are just few minor features missing. However, I see that the team is constantly working on fulfilling user needs and keeps on listening to their growing and engaged user community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps to organize all the information that I am co fronted with during the day. Very useful are the Webbrowser extensions and integrations. These are helping me to import and categorize the information and link it within my projects.
From "what a convenient tool" to "this is indispensable for my job" in two months.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is the perfect framework to build the precise tool you need, whatever your level of skill. And whatever you build now, you can improve and omptimise later on. I literally couldn't do my job if I didn't have the ability to reference any and every material I've created -- and it's all in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion has its own learning curve -- nothing too scary. If anything, once you learn the basics you're more likely to overcomplicate things. So, remember: just becase you can do it doesn't mean you should!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a freelance teacher. I need to keep my books, create lesson plans, create homework materials (which should be reusable and thus referenceable), organise schedules, keep track of student information, etc. Notion allows me to focus on work, rather than juggling 5+ pieces of software.
Great tool
What do you like best about the product?
There's tons of flexibility in how you take notes...tasks in databases, make templates for one on one notes, link between topics, etc. Really enjoy how it helps me to think through topics.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a blank slate. There are preconfigured templates you can pick from to help get you started, but you need to have an idea about what you want to achieve as you go into it and how your topics fit together; otherwise, you don't take advantage of all it has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to have one tool that let me take basic notes, but also use project/topic templates, and still bring all the information together centrally.
