Pros - Clean space to write with lots of control just a '/' away Cons - Too much customizations offered by them often becomes a thing that distracts from the main objective of writing. Also often times it becomes hard to search for content in a hierarchy.

Pros - easy to understand, user friendly, a lot of functionals Cons - not very convenient view boards (databases)

Cons 🔴 · The learning curve is quite steep. · It's not great for automated processes. Pros ✅ · Once you get the hang of it it's amazing to have all your DBs interconnected. · Their minimalistic design is amazing.
Creating a roadmap and tracking tasks is not as good as other project management tools like Asana, Monday, and ClickUp. It is the best tool so far for me to create a knowledge base for projects because you can stack pages and navigate easily.

Pros- Great tool for time management, writing down to do lists, journaling, and organising work, brownie points for the sources of free templates! Cons- Inconvenient for taking down notes or working with spreadsheets/tables, limited collaborative features, not a personal fan of the editing tools.

Pros: low entry point, you don't need tutorials to find your way of getting things done. Easy to share Cons: UI is too responsive. Not open-source. Can't be self-hosted.
Pros: Infinite Creativity: Notion's flexibility allows unconventional use, like creating interactive resumes or personal wikis. Progress Tracking: Easily monitor your progress and achievements using databases and properties. Structured Knowledge: Organize your knowledge base using linked databases for better understanding. Cons: Distraction Potential: Customization might lead to spending excessive time on aesthetics rather than productivity. Content Messiness: Excessive customization can make content less structured if not managed well. Information Overload: With limitless possibilities, it's easy to overcrowd your workspace.

Pros = Electronic notebook and diary for notes with good UI and templates. Cons = i don't know.
🙂Pros · Well-organized knowledge base. · Nice page with blocks for easy dragging. 😂 Cons · More emphasis on page decoration than productivity. · Pages become less responsive after heavy use
