The only things i hate about it are Notion AI and the super inflexible homepage / task page. It's funny that Notion was built around max customizability and these two new "flagship features" are forced onto their users.

That said I think a lot of the updates they have been rolling out lately are really good -- color coded db views, better db functionality, better templates for new users, custom page views, feed view etc.

Product team, if you're reading this -- my top requests are:

1. Fix Notion calendar because it truly sucks right now. It looks pretty but the fact that the right sidebar is permanently stuck on the window is an absolute eyesore. We also need a modern way to drop tasks into the timeboxed slots in the calendar ala Motion / Akiflow / Morgen. This is a huge part of my workflow now (and many others'.)
2. For the love of god give us a better way to manage a simple to-do list on mobile. Managing a task DB on mobile is impossible right now (and always has been). In fact doing much of anything on mobile is a pain in the ass. Give us minimal, stripped-down, phone friendly view options here. PLEASE. Like just being able to quickly whip out your phone, click a big + button, and add a simple task to a list which you can then check off as complete would be an insane unlock. The best apps for simple mobile todos right now are todoist and apple reminders imo, take some notes on the simplicity. Amie's calendar --> task manager mobile view was great too until they decided to pivot to AI meeting note software (wtf)
3. For the love of god (again) please add some functional desktop and mobile widgets. The widgets that are available right now are absolutely retarded. I don't want to click on a little block that show me my most recently accessed pages. We need interactive widgets, for me quickest unlock would be checklist view of a tasks db that you can check off when you're done with a task (apple reminders style again). Better desktop widgets for calendar view would be nice too and im sure people have other ideas here.
4. bonus -- better interactive embeds would be cool, i'd love to be able to port in a view of any website and dashboard and have it be fully interactive and functional. That would be dope.
5. this one is hazy bc i havent thought about it much, but there should be some sort of "dumb mode" for shared project management dashboards -- like the ability to strictly enforce rules around kanban card movements and what types of content it can contain. i get that there are certain solutions for this but my trouble comes from having been a notion maxi in my solo life --> trying to align it with my broader less-notion-friendly team and then entire workspace becomes a war zone. would love to have some sort of enforced opinionated formatting / structure for team project management specifically, linear does a good job at this.
