Feature Breakdowns

Video/audio embedding

With Google Docs, I could only link to rich media. With Notion, the readers can view them without leaving the page.

Keyboard shortcuts

Notion comes with a lot of its own keyboard shortcuts and supports Markdown Language. Combined, these make it faster to markup text as you’re working (ie - headers, bolding, links, quotes, toggles, etc.).

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs let you and readers know where you currently are in the knowledge hierarchy of all of your pages. (Site > Dictionary > Investing > Call Option).

Databases

Databases are faster to create and edit. For example, if I want to change the category of an item, I would just change the tag in the database, and it would move to the right page. Or let’s say I wanted to have the same item appear in multiple categories. With a database, I would just need to add, remove, or change the category in the database table.

To give you a taste, here’s an example. Let’s say I wanted to create a dictionary of terms. The normal approach would be to:

• Divide the dictionary into categories
• Create a unique page for each category
• Put a directory of the terms for that category on the new page
• Have the terms link to a page with the definitions, examples, and images for that term.

With a database, the process would be different:

• Put all of the keywords in one database
• Tag each keyword by category
• Create a unique page for each category
• Embed the database on each page as a gallery
• Add a filter that only displays database items from the corresponding category

Thus, one centralized database can store the content for an unlimited number of pages.

Furthermore, those databases can be linked together. So, let’s say you created a profile with someone you really admire. And, let’s say they did an awesome podcast interview. You could link their profile in the people database to the podcast episode in the resource database. This would allow you to easily create a page on the fly with all of the podcast episodes that person was featured in.

More than anything, once you understand databases, it becomes more than just a feature. It actually changes how you think about topics in your own mind.
