Had the same email. Read some of it. Still no idea what they are offering.
It's a great system.
It's wrong to think of it as a note-taking app. It's actually a 'tool for thought', or zettelkasten
Someone once described it as a magical junkyard. I think that sums it up pretty well
Though still not sure yet if I'll decide to pay-up, or switch to Obsidian instead.
It seems good but ridiculously expensive imo
After juggling between Evernote and OneNote for years I've just ditched both and switched to Notion. Roam looks like it has all the things I dislike about Evernote - this concept that everything just lives in one big bucket and you can't organise it in a structured way.
Some people love this approach, but personally I need to have things organised in a structure that makes sense to me. the thing I loved about OneNote is that it's like having a three-ring binder: you can organise your stuff in a very logical and structured way. Unfortunately that was the only thing I loved about it
Evernote is just too messy for me, and Roam seems to be even worse. Obviously if your brain is wired that way it makes a lot of sense, but I could never get used to this way of organising stuff even after almost ten years of trying. I am absolutely certain I just can't adapt to this way of thinking.
Notion allows me to organise things the way I want, and also it looks beautiful as well, and lets me add my own images to my pages, which really helps to organise them (I was surprised by what a difference that makes).
I do a ton of research as part of my work, and I take a lot of notes, so being able to organise things the way I want to is super-important to me. I can always find what I'm looking for.
Hmmm.
I am a sucka for the idea of getting somewhat organized, especially in a world where the information is great, but the memory proves unreliable etc. I am an avid hourly user of Trello and essentially manage my life therein, but it is more of a list-maker than anything. I didn't know of Notion, is this review fair?
The reason I like Notion is because I have to take a lot of notes and save a lot of links for research and work purposes. I think it depends on your use case. I don't use it as a To-Do list though, because I use TickTick for that (basically combines to-do and calendar in one, which IMO is the only way to manage a to-do list). You can make lists and Kanban boards in Notion though, but that's not what I use it for - I use it for organising information.
If you like visual organisation then Notion is amazing. For example you can list documents in a gallery format and Notion will automatically pull the first image in each page and use that as a thumbnail.
I write sales copy for each product I sell on my website, and in OneNote each page would just be a title in a list, pure text, but in Notion I can list the pages as thumbnails, making it much quicker to find anything I'm looking for:
If you're a visual person this is huge.
So if you want an environment that is easy to organise and has clear visuals, Notion is great. But it takes longer to set stuff up so it's not for everyone.
If you prefer a less hierarchical environment where you can just do brain dumps and let the software manage the structure, Roam might be better.
@richardyot Thank you Mister Richard. I think, as you mention, use-case is the issue here. Personally I have to avoid things that become projects unto themselves, because I know I enjoy that and it soon becomes a form of uber-procrastination in and of itself, which is exactly why Trello is so good for me because of its simplicity but with that comes constraint; often good with music apps, but not always with 'organizsers'.
I suspect my weakness here is looking for ONE thing that I can funnel complexity into and receive a simple toothpaste tube life out the other end, when I should probably be using suitable servants per project (because writing this novel is very different to organizing all the essays I want to write on food etc etc). Sorry. Rambling. But good stuff to think about. Thanks again.
I don't think it's possible to reduce all that down to just one app, because you will inevitably hit shortcomings. But in my case Notion has replaced two other apps (OneNote and Evernote) and is much better to boot.
For writing I use Scrivener, it's really easy to organise and you can keep all the related research in the same document as the main project. Works for short pieces as well as longer ones, but really comes into its own with long-form writing. It has an amazing combination of organisational and writing tools all under one roof. The Scrivenings feature alone makes it killer (you can basically rearrange your text at any time, even in long passages, by rearranging the index cards).
I agree but not immediately because I still must ask @richardyot if his Scrivening is desktop or ipad
I have the latter somewhere I think...
It's both - but mostly on the desktop. However it's really handy to also be able to work on the iPad when you need to. You can set it to automatically sync everything via Dropbox, so the transition is seamless.
It's much better on a big screen and a proper keyboard though.
Scrivener is both (and the iOS version is universal), but the iOS version is severely feature-limited compared to the desktop version; I've worked in it when I have to, but it's mainly useful as a way of carrying Scrivener files around for light tinkering when you're away from the desktop version. (It's surprisingly not-terrible on a phone screen.)
They do mention:
I can't imagine any thoughts I might have that would be worth $15 per month to organize. Most are better off lost and forgotten.
@richardyot Now that I’ve seen YOUR product offerings, I might become a customer. Modo is cool.
