Back in 2018, I launched on Product Hunt, it was the #2 product of the week. Shortly after, I joined Notion to support the community. Our community has written books about Notion, created mascots, hosted hundreds of events, started full-time businesses around Notion, and much more. Many of the highest-ranking products on Product Hunt in the past two years have been Notion templates. Going back in time, Notion on Product Hunt in 2016 as one of the most upvoted products of all time. More than 20 million people use Notion today. I was user on Product Hunt and I've hunted more than 360 products. AMA!

Hey Ben, Huge fan of the product and I use it everyday and I actually pivoted over from a paid Click-up user because I prefer the UI. Wondering what core elements you focused on pre-launch to really accelerate that success + garner that many eyeballs so early on?
Hi Ben, I love Notion! What's your plan to further improve the capability of web app๏ผŸ
Hey Ben, I love Notion โค My all time top 5 When you were not a part of Notion yet, did you use Notion and if yes to do what? Also, please tell us what you use Notion these days that an every day user might have missed?
Hi Ben! Just wanted to say thanks for the amazing work you guys have been doing!
Hey Ben! We are a seed-funded startup and looking to build our first-ever community! How do we get members to the community and make sure to keep them engaged?
Hey Ben, I've been using Notion for almost a year now and it's been a game changer. I sometimes feel that Notion has all the elements which can be offered. How do you come up with new feature now that all the major requirement are over? Also, are there any new features coming soon?
Hi Ben! I guess every startup likes Notion as it is today. We always wonder how startup initially begins the SaaS business as handling servers and cost isn't really easy. From the community in PH, I really love to hear how you solved the initial challenges and the stages you've been through.

As a adhder, Notion helps me manage my todo list that is to manage my energy hhhh. But it's really a little difficult to use it as a beginner. If possible, I wish there would be a customized version for adhder because our brain mechanism is different.

An agent did this to us once. It made a failing test pass by weakening the assertion instead of fixing the broken logic. The suite was green for days and nobody noticed ) Plus now I never let an agent edit test files and application code in the same promtp.

had coding agent "fix" failing test by chnaging assertion to match broken return value instead of fixing bug, suite stayed green for days. So now I check diffs on test files first, if agent is allowed rewrite own rubric then green means nothing
