Notion is goat-ed! It's one of the greatest software ever created in our time imho.

Y.js sounds amazing – gonna have to look into it! Have been using Liveblocks for real-time data stuff, the DX is a breeze to work with!

Notion is just a OneNote alternative.

What's the reason for such high praise for Notion? Asking honestly as I have used it and genuinely don't get the admiration.

aesthetics are very nice, and the slash menu mechanism + syncing make it nice when working with people. If Google docs looked nice this convo would be different but Google docs doesn’t look nice!

Aesthetic aside, I really admire Notion’s extensibility and rich API ecosystem — it’s given rise to website builders like https://super.so and https://potion.so, something that I haven’t seen with Google Docs/One Note
