I believe the attention cost of using and keeping up with so many great tools is underappreciated. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather use Github Projects than Trello not because GHP is better (it is not) but because I'm already using Github, and the mental and workflow cost of adding Trello to the mix is (I feel) higher than its additional value.

Notion in particular drives me nuts. I mean it's very very well done, but you use it to create a hierarchy of collaborative documents... because apparently GSuite docs are not good enough? Notion I think is a case of local maxima, because Gdocs/Office365 offer so many more ways to keep documentation and data in better formats (doc, sheet, slides...).

Sometimes I feel crushed under the weight of a thousand good things. :)




Agreed. Notion feels quite a bit complex. May be I just don’t understand it yet. I understand AirTable’s value prop. It’s pretty straightforward.
