Just thought I would post what I am learning about Notion since it has become a viable free option with the removal of the 1000 block limit.
I had a lot of hope for this as an alternative to Evernote but I think its fit is more of a challenge to the various CMS platforms out there. If I were, Atlassian. I would be nervous on many levels.
One thing I found difficult to find out is what are the available blocks. I am only new but I hope this list is correct.
