I’m still miffed that Dropbox killed Mailbox. I’m a big fan of Notion but these hires/acquu-hires are a deathknell indicator. It means they’ve hit that point where the ideas have stopped flowing but the money hasn’t, so they start using the money instead of their own creative juices. It’s a shame because there’s still so many places Notion could improve. |

The way I see it, we have more ideas than we have people to work on them, but we have plenty of money in the bank. So, we buy a small company close to one of our idea so we can work on it now, instead of in 2-3 years time. I’m bummed we aren’t keeping Skiff’s mail product running though.
Overall Notion has matured a bit more to a place we can make more investments in the future, especially on the engineering side. I’m finally working on a performance focused architecture project I’ve wanted to do since 2019 — that doesn’t feel like death knell to me.
