“Everything was working fine until the desktop app updated to the latest version (7.33.0). Now the model selector is gone.Interestingly, my iOS app is still on an older version and I can still switch models there.”
“I used notion for a while. I didn't like it for tasks because it didn't have great functionality for it at the time. Maybe it's better now with certain templates.”
“This was caused because morons were abusing the business trial model picker (GPT ASTRA) by creating free accounts and getting unlimited gpt astra on any reasoning level which is why notion first disabled astra and then removed the model picker. Once those people hit 100% usage, they simply made a new account.”
“Notion is for information. TickTick is for tasks (action items). Sure, you CAN set up tasks in Notion, but I would rather have a true task manager than try to make one tool do both.”
“it's the same stuff underneath so the writing was never gonna be better, the value is that it's pointed at your own pages. which honestly is fine, i just wish they'd sell it that way instead of as a writing tool you know”
“The biggest improvement isn't even time. I can open the CRM now and actually find things without having to remember which calls I took proper notes on.”
“However, when I downloaded the installer, I got a warning from Windows saying that notion would be able to edit my registries and other information, and also that notion would not remove all of its files were I to uninstall it. Is this normal?”
“It is literally only on the trial version. I don't know why they have done that but someone please tell me if they haven't faced this issue on the trial version of notion.”
“For jobs, most of them reply with no. So I'd not even add them to Notion. I'd first add an email filter that marks negative replies as "read" and attach a tag.”
“They moved it. It is now in Notion Settings -> Notion AI -> under Model Controls -> Default Model for Custom Agents. You can also disable the models that you don't want at all under Allowed Model toggles just before that.”
“Notion is a "knowledge database" with awful performance and jank, that some people have decided sounded like a perfect place to host their blog for whatever reason. But these shared pages been as buggy as the first time I saw them years ago, not sure what they're doing.”
“Got tired of slow Notion dashboards and database lag, so I coded my own lightweight life tracker. Anyone else move away from Notion for daily tracking?”
“I really like using Anytype, but compared to Notion, it has way fewer features. The main reasons I use it are that it feels similar to Notion and, more importantly, it stores everything locally. If local storage wasn’t important to me, I’d definitely just use Notion.”
“I’d use Notion for what it’s clearly good at for you — research, planning and storing finished work — and use something deliberately boring for the actual drafting.”
“yeah buddy, welcome to the 'i have no idea how to code but i'm about to learn because notion made me think i could' club. good luck with those emojis though, they're gonna haunt you.”
“Obsidian can be fantastic for a certain type of person, to get to notion functionality it won't be nearly as seamless as notion. It will frustrate you. Ai is a pain.”
“I stopped using Notion because the pricing is insane, and I am close to getting a paid plan but there's still a few bugs that holding me out. Hopefully the major update will improve the core product (note taking)!”
“I think it's the best one I used so far for alternative to notion to how it looks and feel. But I have since switch to obsidian bc I re-structure the way I intake notes and retrieving notes.”
“Hey y'all, so I'm trying to set up notion for a "days remaining" formula category that uses my set due date/due time to determine it, but I want the options to look like this: "🟩 2(or more, it would be specific) days remaining" , "🟨 1 day remaining" , "🟨 due Today" , "🟥 1 (or more, again it would be specific) days overdue" .”
“I like the "simplicity" of writing in Notion, the blocks....and Anytype it feels similar and I like that it works offline. Do you currently recommend it?”
“Every productivity app had so much enshittification with AI stuffed down my throat that even though I love AI, I stopped going into those apps. Agents and shit.”
“What are your takes on Notion vs TickTick to manage your systems? I find that Tick is very handy to keep track of individual tasks, while Notion seems better for projects.”
“As I said, I haven't found a way to prevent Notion from placing that quoted text within a separate block. I thought cmd+shift+V would work, but it has not.”
