    Part of the problem is that I don’t know the extent of what people might use this kind of tool for. It’s a productivity tool that has docs, calendars, databases, and other tools, but people use it in very different ways. Some people use it for documentation, some use it for course notes / planning, some use it to make dashboards, etc.

    There’s probably a better way to describe it that I’m not thinking of, so I might recommend checking out the website above until someone else comes along to give a better explanation.

    Here’s how Wikipedia describes Notion

    Notion is a freemium productivity and note-taking web application developed by Notion Labs, Inc. It offers organizational tools including task management, project tracking, to-do lists, and bookmarking. Additional offline features are offered by desktop and mobile applications available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Users can create custom templates, embed videos and web content, and collaborate with others in real-time.

    Anytype meanwhile is a newer open source and self hosted alternative to the above. Better for privacy etc. There’s another open source version called AppFlowy
