Notion is indeed slow. Slack is slow. Google drive is slow. Trello is slow. Some local/native alternatives can be snappier.

Speed and snappiness don’t always come together, but when they do, there is no going back to something even a little slower or less reactive.

That’s why I don’t test nor try new hardware until I actually need more than what I have. It’s too strong to resist ;)

Totally agree. As a software engineer, I was always excited to try new notes apps and to "really stay organized" this time. But I always ended up falling back on either Apple Notes or Sublime because everything else was too slow.

Decided to build an app where it's fast to start writing but is also set up to keep your notes sane over time. The app has a built in scratchpad where you capture notes in small chunks, like texting yourself. Then you triage the notes into categories later. https://youtu.be/xRxn4iiWZUM

Would love the community's feedback.

Haven't used it in a while, but I always found Trello to be extremely snappy. Once of the things I really liked about it, and that competitors like ClickUp and (more tangentially) Notion are missing.

I think that Trello is pretty fast on all platforms and notifications are sent instantaneously

I really appreciate trello and it’s fast enough as long as you don’t need to open multiple cards side by side. Trello is optimized for certain workflows, in board view or single card view.

In a text editor, you would just have multiple windows, panes, splits ... and it’s just fast to jump, reference, copy/paste, etc. On trello, you need to reload the full board in another tab or lose context.

Trello is very fast in my experience. Slack is fast when you’re used to slower alternatives like Mattermost.
