Revealing The Future of Notion With Notion’s Co-Founder!

[@BetterCreating]

Hi people - what a great chat this was with Akshay - what do you want to see next from the 'Notion ecosystem? + Make sure to checkout my latest Notion Templates & icons packs here bettercreating.com/downloads

Has the Notion app for iPad improved in the last year? I stopped using it as I came across a few bugs with not all columns showing in a large database. After watching your video I am tempted to come back to the fold….

Notion Calendar for iPad 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@BetterCreating]

Haha - I’m sure we get that soon right?! :)

[@mysticmovesacademy]

Notion is great. However, until they sort out the fact that we can only take notes while online, it will never be able to substitute my journaling and quick note taking apps 😐

[@BetterCreating]

Haha, yes, sadly the offline conversations will continue I suspect indefinitely: it would essentially be a totally different app if it embraced it - since reconciling versions and updates would be so hard to do as a collaborative tool - I can’t see it happening - but I could see a world where perhaps certain docs could be integrated to be viewable

[@AndrewStephenson0720]

Why would this be so hard when G Docs has done this for quite a while now? Multiplayer might be difficult but it’s certainly not impossible!

[@mysticmovesacademy]

@@BetterCreating I see what you mean but not everyone uses it as a collaborative tool. It can't be that complicated to add this feature for personal documents, can it? You know, sometimes you're in the middle of nowhere, or in a tunnel on the tube and you still want to be able to jot down an idea...

[@BizBBiz]

Email to Notion or email within Notion is THE feature I've been waiting for. Today, I have to send my emails to a Gmail address and then use Scripts to use the Notion API to push the content to Notion. Unfortunately, I lose a lot of formatting/images in the process.

[@lucasbernhard5577]

When will the life os template be released? You said it would be in September, right? I'm very excited and can't wait to try it out

[@BetterCreating]

Hey Lucas - think I’ve replied elsewhere too but just in case :) - I’m a few days behind on it due to some other life stuff - but looking good to share it with beta owners after a week of finalising it next week, with guide videos etc coming just after. 👍 thanks for waiting, will be emailing you all very soon. Cheers! Simon

I really liked the hybrid of interview and subsequently added additional information

I love Notion and it is #1 tool I use for just about everything. But my 1 problem with it is that I can’t use it offline. If I’m on a flight, or have decided to turn off cell service so I can focus, I lose access to some of my notes. This gets frustrating every time.

[@IAmSam_TheMan]

Notion is ok. As much as i tried i can use it on the run. from construction sites to the closing table, to flights on a redeye. it’s to cumbersome and takes way to many steps to get in and out of the app. Everyone loves these complicated setups but none are for people on the go using a small device and not sitting behind a desk all day.

[@CHPetMom]

I highly resonate with the Akshay speaking of Notion being a second brain. I have plugged in my Zettelkasten System into Notion, and it has been incredibly useful in that aspect, even though Obsidian is better for automatic linking. With a little tweaking and a good workflow, Notion works better for me in that regard, especially in conjunction with using the Notion AI. That was a gamechanger for me.

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks for sharing! That’s really interesting to read - yeah - I’ve found the same - and I suspect the coming development work will further improve the options to build but also simplify your personal UI with what you build - exciting times :)
