I am pretty confident it will embed a ton of other stuff too. You can attach anything like Google maps, audio, video, images, Google Docs and Sheets and SoundCloud files. You can also use formulas here to perform simple calculations. In the above screenshot, you can see a data table which you can sort in any way you like, just like in Google Sheets. I am amazed to see how Notion can handle all kinds of data in a single interface that is not cluttered. Noting, Sorting, Managingįor different needs, people work on a variety of files like text, images, videos and audios, tables, checklists, calendar and dates, and so on. With Notion, you can create columns of notes side-by-side to replicate the Kanban system popularized by Trello.

Paper is much harder to navigate and you get lost easily. It also makes it easier to tag/link other notes or blocks. Notion takes a cue from Evernote and provides a silo-like structure in the sidebar which can be used to jump between notes and projects.

Think Windows or Google Drive folder structure here. Each note, Paper calls them documents, is stored in folders. Some options like formatting are visible only when they are needed, that is when you select text. Like Notion, Paper also takes a minimalist approach with a blank document where you can write, add media, create lists and tasks easily and quickly. Almost like a drag-n-drop website builder but for project management. This Wiki like design will let you create your layout with a multitude of options to choose from. There are examples of users on the web who are using it to maintain accounts, create sortable tables (like Excel), and write articles. It is versatile and can handle all types of data. Depending on your selection, Notion will let you enter values. You can create a block for anything like text, tasks, audio, video, formulas, and more.

This tells me how flexible Notion is and what all you can achieve with this app. When you launch the Notion for the first time, it will offer you to import data from many services like Trello, CSV, Word, Asana, Evernote, and Dropbox Paper too. Let’s see how these two new note apps are looking to change the world, helping individuals and companies be more productive and less confused. A simple concept that allows you to move different types of content within a single note. The Notion draws inspiration from the likes of Trello, Wikipedia, and CRM apps to offer a way to take notes in blocks format. The Notion is another note-taking app that has a gradually growing user base.
