Congrats on launching the feature, which I will never use.
If someone from Notion is reading this, I humbly suggest a few other features that might actually make an impact.
- Offline mode. My data is mine, my tables, templates, notes, have no reason to live in your server.
- Improve performance. Notion is getting slower with every release.
- Full Text Workspace Search.
This are features customers actually want. Show some customer obsession and cut the crap with that GPT-3 non-sense. You are helping spammers to automate their workflow, on creating irrelevant posts that match search keys.We already have copy.ai and a ton of other services that do just that.
I am a raving Notion fan. It's one of the few products that I just adore.
Maybe my tolerance level is high, or maybe my hardware is good, but actual performance is acceptable.
I do hope that Notion does improve offline mode. A single page works that is already loaded works wonderfully. Syncing has been non-problematic for me. I wonder why my phone and mac can't cache all the pages indefinitely, which would allow me to work completely offline.
Also, search needs work. Both search from the "search button" and the search that pops up when I type "@bla" are becoming less useful with each additional page in my workspace.
Finally, where are tags? Please please please add the ability to add ad-hoc tags to each block and page, the same way I can add comments to each block and page. And then give me the ability to view all tagged items as a kind of virtual page, or a type of database.
I'm at a point where I type things like tagIdeasToTry in the actual text and then use search to find all blocks that have that tag. But that requires mental effort, and fighting with the search functionality to get back results. I've even considered @mentioning special pages and then using backlinks as a way of categorizing content, but that only works at page level, and is clunky.
Offline mode would impact the most users, but they are purposefully avoiding this feature because it's not sexy. As a paid Notion user, it's infuriating that they spent engineering time on this stupid AI non-sense in front of things that paying users have actually been asking for.
Yes on all three points! Especially search. Notion’s search is so painfully slow. Whenever I try to link a row to another row the loader sounds for 2+ secs, even if I’m searching a table with <10 rows.
