no worries! for what it's worth, notion is cash flow positive which means we can stick to our values for the long term. i work at notion; it's nice to be in a business where you get paid directly by users
oof, i will forward that feedback to the team. we should do better about communicating changes to ui
Please don't forget: Road to hell is paved with good intentions. Making features which can eavesdrop on users opt-in can go very wrong, very fast.
I understand the need to make it "feel like magic", but that line is very thin.
Last note, please when you move something around (e.g. Calculate button from bottom of the database columns to header menu), please let users know. It really feels bad when you use something too much just disappears.
BTW, I'm a Notion subscriber as you can say :)
