We switched from Google Workspace to Notion around 2018. It worked really well as a company wiki. A lot of the exec team lived in there.

The most painful part, the part that led to us switching back, was how painfully slow Notion was. Thanks to Electron, it used an obscene amount of ram, and a lot of opportunities to jot an idea down, or file something in the right place, were lost because of that slight lag.

Like being forced to cold-start Chrome to visit any website.

Knowing it would feel tedious to open Notion made me reconsider if the idea was worth writing down at all.

In some cases, it was!
