    1. The product design of Notion is excellent, but requires thinking about documents in a very new way. How do you plan to tackle the marketing challenges of convincing people to change their workflow?

    2. What other document services do you use alongside Notion that you feel it isn't a replacement for? For example do you still have a note taking app like Evernote, or do you just put that all into Notion?

    Really fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing where Notion goes!

      1. Marketing is indeed interesting. We are less about forcing new workflows, but more about bundling the existing ones. It's a lot more understandable that way. And who doesn't likes all-in-one, as long as the "one" has good quality on its own.

      2. Notion is all I use. It has replaced iA Writer (drafting & thinking), Google Docs (collaboration), and Evernote (collecting). The entire team is running on Notion + Slack, nothing else. The separation of tools is largely a historical legacy from the rigid physical world. The computing medium is dynamic and elastic.

        Thank you for making this helpful tool, Ivan! Would you share an overview of your team's Notion pages? I'd find your setup very inspiring!

          Hello all. I have been a businessman for more than fifteen years, at the beginning I started in cooperation with other people, but now I run my own business myself, so I already have a good knowledge base. I would like to give you advice for the development of your business. You can find a lot of junk information on the internet, so I advise you wow customer support as a good service to help your company. I have used their services many times myself and I am satisfied. Thank you for your attention.
