Doesn't this look very very similar to Notion? It doesn't seem to be from the same people though, feels like I'm missing something.

I guess the block-based document editor field is heating up. With this tool's native iOS and macOS apps, I hope they either unseat Notion, or launch Notion into making native tools. Their web-based UI has extremely poor performance.
I had the same thought. Bear is in this category too. The only differentiator vs. Notion right now seems to be a native app, however. I'm going to give it a try and see if I like it though.
One significant difference is automatic back linking (bi-directional linking). Craft looks a bit like Notion but it has some of the functionality of Roam and Obsidian. Plus, decent native apps, which Notion and the others lack.
Notion has had backlinks since Sep 2020.
Craft also supports easy bi-directional linking to blocks, which I assume Notion doesn’t support at this point.
