That's funny, it's all the bells and whistles on Notion that my team complains about. Markdown or Notes.app is way better for composition. Notion is where content goes to stop being iterated on.


I'm sure your team already knows this but you can write in Markdown in Notion. It auto-formats everything. I'm sure it's missing some things and one of them is anything past H3(H4, H5, H6).


It’s more about the affordances. I can’t trust notion not to drop into some command system. Therefore I need to keep my monitor turned on when typing. If I can’t type with the monitor turned off, it must not be a very reliable word processor.
