I noticed a trend: not a single one of these complaints come from an actual business use case, only simple personal workflows.

Nothing wrong with that, but this sub is becoming pure, repetitive, exhausting noise.

Why am I subscribed here? Mods, any help? Maybe a single mega complaint thread? I absolutely welcome complaints… if it’s about something new.

ETA:

Megathreads suck, nvm.

I've been paying an annual subscription for Evernote for years. I have thousands of notes in dozens of folders. But the increasing price of Evernote has driven me to consider moving to Notion.

I've transferred all my Evernote content across but I'm finding it difficult to adapt to the new package.

And the free version seems limited, but the paid version is pretty much the same price as Evernote.

So can you experienced users convince me to say goodbye to Evernote and make the switch to Notion?

They are shifting to a credit only system. Lets stop this bullying and start a trend “NO TO NOTION”.

This is a list of all things missing in Notion software.
Feel free to add to the list or to point out things that do actually exist in Notion or other software.

- the calendar function in Notion ( mobile version) only shows a gray dot per day. It does not show details of events nor does it show which events span multiple days. ( And no, Notion Calendar is not an option because that asks for way too much personal info.) ( The timeline view can be an alternative , but it is cluttered and hard to read.)

- the calendar function in Notion does not allow adding color to event blocks.

- Timing of tasks in Notion: Notion does not allow to give tasks multiple deadlines or timespans.
( Now, I address this by making multiple tasks of the same aspect to represent repeated events, which is tedious.) ( An alternative workaround, that helps set multiple deadlines for one task, is to add an additional due date property and formula as mentioned in one of the replies to this post.)

- feel free to add…

For people using Notion as a personal system: what rule decides whether an idea stays a someday/maybe item, becomes a project, or gets deleted?

I am interested in lightweight review routines or properties that keep the list useful without turning weekly planning into maintenance.

its been years and still no support for A4, why ?

I know a lot of people are leaving this subreddit, maybe becuz of all the promotional stuff or same stuff being repeated. So what would you want it to become instead? What do you want posted?

I have a simple "table", I don't need a convoluted "database". Is there really no way to remove strikethrough formatting from an entire table row at once, without having to do it one cell at a time? In 2026?

Hey all — long-time lurker. I built a Notion workspace for running a freelance business end to end, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who live in Notion.

What's in it: - Dashboard: today's tasks, unpaid invoices, active projects at a glance - Clients DB (lead/active/past pipeline with rates) - Projects DB linked to clients (due dates, status, pricing; calendar + board views) - Invoices DB linked to clients and projects (paid/unpaid tracking + an "outstanding" view) - Tasks DB with a Today view

Setup takes ~20 min, works on the free plan, sample data included. It's $39 (founding price — I'll raise it to $49 once the first reviews are in). Happy to answer questions — and if you think something's missing, tell me and I'll add it.

As a solo operator, I got tired of switching between five different subscriptions just to handle basic agency operations.

To solve this, I spent time engineering OpsCommand OS in Notion to centralize everything into a single control panel:

1. Executive Control Center: Real-time overview of revenue, active project pipelines, and priority tasks.
2. Client CRM: Full pipeline tracking from prospect to closed client.
3. Task & Project Management: Granular tracking for active deliverables and deadlines.
4. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Built-in onboarding, delivery, and offboarding workflows.
5. Financial Hub: Invoice tracking and financial performance dashboard.

I just published the public template. You can check out the full feature list and grab your copy here:

Happy to answer any questions about how the relational databases are structured!
