Why would I use this instead of just creating a page in Notion? I get that it's supposed to be some combo of Notion/Jira/Trello but I don't really see the need for it. My manager uses OneNote to guide meeting agendas and it works great.

Great question. If you're looking at a single weekly doc, then you could write it anywhere. However, if you're working across multiple weeks, and you have a few projects in various stages of development, then Clarity saves you a lot of time & effort. Widgets summarize the work happening across your base, and backlinks help you look back across Weeklys, projects, notes, and conversations to resurface information according to keywords.

The issue with tools like Notion is that you need to do everything manually. The more powerful your system, the more work you have to do. This leads to what the Notion community refers to as “breakdowns”—where a workspace is overwhelming and must be redesigned & refactored to be useful again.
