> are you a notion employee?

What I do is clearly written in my profile. Tangentially, do somebody has to be employee of $CORPORATION to like $CORPORATION.$PRODUCT?

Banal is boring, boring is good. If they can do useful and novel things with banal and boring things (which they can from my experience), it's doubly good.

They give a Markdown and CSV version of the stored data, which is not that bad, IMHO. Still doesn't beat Evernote on that regard, though.

As with all tools, Horses for Courses, YMMV & moreover, Caveat Emptor.




so they store the data in a tree with special types for text or images... and output only a csv or markdown for you outside? honest question, how does this make the data model relevant? internally it's the same as Microsoft word even, and you can't benefit from it as it export without the structure.
