I agree the web interface is absolutely horrible. I use the desktop app. They allow you to export html from there and preserve the nested document structure (the main feature imo). I've seen writeups about people building nocode apps on notion so I think their idea might be to create an ecosystem where they can ignore respected conventions.

I love notion as a tool but it seems like one of those things people will be crying about in a few years if we continue to put all this valuable information solely in their hands. (yes i know you can export but it doesn't preserve the awesome format they have which is really the point)

I think it's a marketing trend. The emojis seem like a soft universal language to help people who don't speak English grok broken google translations.

Hoping to hear the name for this trend as it's a very interesting one indeed. Done well it seems like this is definitely the new wave as we continue to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator. Done poorly, well I've done this and will just tell you the results are about as bad as you'd expect.

Can you imagine the implications if someone can find a seed from that birth control plant(1) the roman's ate to extinction?
