== Intro ====================================

Hi Notion founder here. At Notion, our goal to create the general purpose work + computing tool for a post-file, post-MS Office world. My cofounder and I often joke that this was like the "hot startup topic" of the 90s. Unfortunately, tools for knowledge workers haven't advanced much since then. The state of art is either Google Docs/Quip/Dropbox Paper (multiplayer WordPerfect), or rigid SAAS apps (forms + a table+ some buttons).

This is our product: https://notion.so

We are hiring across every function: engineering, design, data, sales, marketing, support...

More details here: https://www.notion.so/jobs

We made a graphic novel about why we exist: https://notion.so/about

Thank you for reading!

Hi, Ivan here. I am the CEO of Notion.

I'm really, really sorry about this experience!

Our in-product export feature exports to a single file, and for very large workspaces this doesn't scale very well. (I know this is not an excuse for this experience. We'll do better and prioritize fixing this!)

Could you email me at ivan at makenotion.com? We'll work to fix this for you immediately.

Apologies, and really appreciate you for understanding!

Ivan

Agreed. Mobile and text editing two of our weakest areas. A lot more work ahead of us but we'll get there!

Sorry about that. Heads down on the release at the moment and haven't checked this thread much. Will do better.
