I love this product so much. I think you guys should release the source code and make a big contribution to humanity.

Just 10 minutes in trial mode and I'm sold. But really cautious to ditch Asana and Evernote. 1) Hope you have long-term plans and this service isn't closed or acquired in a short term. It's a free market I know, but it's also an exit-minded market. 2) Importing tasks and projects from Asana: anywhere on the roadmap? 2) Evernote import? and what's more important 3) Chrome extension or bookmarklet to add resources to Notion (instead to Evernote?) (love to see you've included custom domains on the roadmap).

Absolutely fantastic. I've got dozens of hours of use down at this point and Notion just completely blows away apps like Google Docs and Paper. Those old bears feel silly now.
For those of us who avoid Google lock-in, is there planned support for vanilla email accounts?

@jadojodo Agreed! Why limit to Google login if your goal is to replace Google Docs?

This is awesome. A lot of interesting features and good UI decisions. Been looking for something like this for a while. Looking forward to see where this goes. Would like it to incorporate tools to make knowledge collection easier (import content from files, import from other wikis or tools, import information from the web (and keep the reference)...). Continue with the drag and drop interface, it's the way to go for non-technical business adoption.
Overall, Notion is like a bunch of widgets and management apps combined into one awesome package. I've been using it for several months now, and it works really well. It's most useful for team projects, where you can make an entire directory of pages for the different types of tasks you need to handle, and keep all progress and information synced into one app.
Being able to move content blocks and pages around makes it very easy to organize, and the comment feature makes it easy to start a new thread to discuss a topic. Integration is also great, since I can embed code, videos, and even Google Drive documents. You can also customize the look and feel of pages (I love being able to set icons and header images for each page) to make them easily recognizable, and create complex layouts. There is a huge list of features that makes it possible to do almost anything you would want to do in a management/organization app.
It's still improving, and they have a list of new features coming soon (the one I'm excited for is being able to assign tasks to people). There's an iOS app beta (that doesn't work on my device currently). There are a few minor bugs that I come across, but it's nothing that distracts you from using it. It's a solid app that I'll continue to use for both group and individual projects.
Pros:
Content blocks/pages organize content easily
Shortcuts make it FAST
Collaboration is seamless with others
Customize pages for a unique look
Cons:
Live editing with collaborators isn't seamless
No iOS app available (yet)
Most of the features that are missing are coming soon anyways.

Notion has been and continues to be an absolutely incredible product. I used to have a combination of nvALT synced to Dropbox + Simplenote, and although I still need Simplenote for the iOS stuff (let's see if Notion can figure out iOS), Notion has solved a lot of my issues. @ivanhzhao is also an amazing listener and listens directly for feedback that is visibly implemented :)
Much love and congratulations on the launch!

Looks interesting β appears to give Atlassian a run for their money. Are you going to consider offering a self-hosted option like Atlassian does for JIRA? Any plans to add a service desk component?
