From the look of the code of their website and the fact that they have 'isReactNative' variable declared, I believe they're using react-native even for their website. Which would make it single frontend codebase for all of their platforms.

I'm an engineer at Notion. We don't use React Native (I worked on the rewrite of our apps to remove it). There's still a bunch of code that refers to our mobile app platform as reactNative, which is what you're seeing.
Neat!
Sharing the codebase between all apps would definitely be an explaination for the occasionally unpleasant desktop experience.
But React Native is a mobile framework...how can they use it on their site? I don't think that quite makes sense.
This project really has gone full circle.
Wow...that's both hilarious and amazing at the same time.
