Beautiful UX UI design, complete usability It's flexible but it's too flexible that it's secretly difficult to use, but overall it's very good.

As an illustrator, managing projects, ideas, and resources can sometimes be a challenge. Notion has been instrumental in streamlining my workflow and keeping everything organized. Notion's all-in-one workspace is where its strength lies. I can create notes and documents, manage tasks with reminders, create databases for my illustration resources, and even use it as a content calendar for my freelance projects or personal art prompts. The flexibility and customization options are almost limitless, which allows me to tailor it to my specific needs. I also appreciate the clean, distraction-free interface of Notion. It's aesthetically pleasing and keeps me focused on my tasks, whether that's brainstorming for a new illustration project, tracking my work progress, or organizing my resources and references. One of Notion's features I found surprisingly useful is the ability to embed various file types right into my workspace. This means I can have sketches, mood boards, and final works all in one place, which has been a game-changer for my project organization. However, as a creation tool, Notion isn't designed for creating illustrations, but rather organizing the process around it. You can't draw or design within the app, so illustrators will still need a dedicated software for that purpose. In conclusion, Notion has been a beneficial tool in terms of project management, task organization, and content planning. It's helped me keep my illustration projects organized and has improved my productivity. While it doesn't replace a dedicated drawing or design software, I would recommend Notion to any illustrator who needs a comprehensive tool for managing their projects, ideas, and resources efficiently. It's a powerful tool that can simplify your workflow and keep your creative process organized.

Needs better offline handling and a real native experience not just a web thing

Notion for me is a mixed experience. On the one hand this is one of the best note taking apps, because it allows for creating complex pages and databases. Ont the other hand its hosted nature and inability to work offline in the app makes it less trustable than a solution like Obsidian, which works fully offline and just syncs the changes when online. That's why I use Notion only for notes I need to share with other people or for creating very simple websites.

I use it for taking structured notes of all the course content that i'm consuming, planning my projects, creating daily to-do lists and also for creating a repositories of important questions for my interview prep. Although it's great for centralization, I find it tedious to use on phone. To-do lists are inaccessible unless within apps. The in-app integrations are great, tho.

it could be ideal for me, but it has no backups (built-in export is awful) and no offline mode

Love the interface and design! Very easy to use and I am still learning about the different features that I can use. That said, I still prefer using google suite for some things

Notion has transformed the way I work. I use it to instantly capture ideas then I convert them to tasks and add more details.

I use notion for everything I do, even managing my financial life. Notion is my digital life. I apply the concepts from the book "Building a second brain" by Tiago Forte.

Finally, I have come to a point where I'm mature enough to create a database that encompasses everything I need: personal goals, job prospects, ideas, projects, and long-term objectives. My only grievance is the overly complicated user interface. One has to maneuver the cursor with extreme precision as hovering elements are omnipresent, and the interface is quite jumpy with elements flickering, appearing, and disappearing. In essence, the tool deviates significantly from any usability standards, requiring you to adapt.
