Notion is a tragedy when it comes to export or migration.
I didn’t see any bragging about the exportability of content from this one, but that’s the main thing I look for now.

1. Versioned export/backup which will be guaranteed to work with current Colanode version
2. ..., well-documented
3. ..., with migrations so it's always future-compatible
4. ..., human-readable
I think integrations with any specific other tools should be ezpz if the fundaments are solid!
For import/insert, I guess some cli API with similar properties would be a nice fit.
(Coincidentally I think the above is also what would facilitate LLMs to do a decent job for anyone trying that)
After that, go after your biggest competitor. If people know they have a path back to a familiar shore they're less scared to swim in new waters.
This gets around version drift with binary export formats.
Static export, as PDF or other non-native markup format is not what is required. This is hard copy, not backup.
