Really cool to read about the source for the idea and how it developed over time. But it continues to be disappointing that notion’s “free for individual students and educators” plan only applies to colleges with a .edu domain.

I find myself really wishing that something like notion was being developed on a not for profit basis with more portability for data. I always feel the same way about Twitter; there’s so much utility being built here but the profit motive makes it hard to invest in long term because eventually it will be bought out or something else.

I mean I don’t have a solution here but it’s a shame that tools like these represent the digital public commons but they’re built and controlled by profit motivated provare entities.
