      Your content is good but going for the trends (black background) is the worst things started to happen to tutorials a couple of years ago. Tutorials should be readable (hence the word tutorial). Can you see the gray text on the black background (when showing the Notion screen)? Me neither. I have to use a magnifying glass to see what is on the screen (I don't have 20/20 eyesight). ALWAYS use white background for tutorials. Not criticism but a suggestion to help for better tutorials.

    The inability to apply formula across rows / columns is a major bummer for Notion. This was a good comparison video, and yes, I agree with you, Notion is not to play with numbers, not built for that, yet.

    • @ProductiveDude

      Yes agree... I thought it would be good to share this comparison to help people understand the differences, in turn it makes Notion easier to understand overall.

    After 2 weeks of bashing my head in trying to get my budget to work in Notion, thank you for this I now know to keep my finances in a spread sheet. However, this does make me think this is perfect for a fitness tracker to be honest.

    Im definitely a way bigger fan of Notion, I never really liked applications from big companies like Google and Microsoft, but things like gmail I daily use

    Is there any advantage to this Notion limitation? I can't see why their team would limit formulas like that, it looks like a real bummer to me

    • @ProductiveDude
      @ProductiveDude  Рік тому +3

      Simplicity and structure are the benefits.
      Notion is a more streamlined ui that can do a few things really well, while excel is a bit more of a sandbox.

      @@ProductiveDude not really sure if that's enough of a reason, they could easily turn their databases in a matrix indexable by strings, + use python or lua for their formulas, this would instantly increase the number of things you can do with them
