On: Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases

The amount of times note taking apps and products appear on the HN front page is quite amusing. Has anyone ever cracked this nut?

I've been using Joplin for about a year, it works. Could be better, but does the job

I think the problem is that it isn't a single nut to crack - everyone works slightly differently, some like a clean interface, others like all the info laid for them.

With Notes and tasks, it is quite personal, so any issues in the interface are seen as worse, eg we are more likely to accept a slightly shitty interface when paying a bill or logging on to a corporate system than a product we use daily.

Only thing I can complaint about Joplin is slow syncing. Although, it is still good enough for my needs.
