I use notion as my "inbox stuff". Whenever I see something interesting (book, article, whatever), I use the chrome extension and send it to that inbox. On the phone, I can also "share to notion" which sends it to that inbox. Once in a while, I review that inbox and then prioritize things in other notion pages or in more actionable items.

It works pretty well. The only big issue is how slow it is to cold start. My fix is to use google keep on mobile for very quick note (I.e. someone tells me something), and then I'll manually copy it to inbox later in the day.

Notion would be a great tool for me, but the lack of a desktop client for Linux and a usable client for Android makes it useless.

Their desktop app is just a wrapper. You can "appify" it using Chrome or Webpin (https://github.com/artemanufrij/webpin/) or whatever.

Since I have to use Windows at work, I can guarantee you're not missing anything by doing that. I just keep it in a pinned tab in Firefox and use Alt+1 to quickly reach it.

What I am bothered with is the lack of official API which makes it difficult to auto-populate some stuff.

I did a project where I collected a ton of links using notion’s chrome extension. It took several days to do. My intention was to then go copy all of those links into an Excel sheet with additional data.

Nope. Every single link was a Notion URL. I was pissed. Never using that app again because it made me realize my options for migration away from Notion would always be very limited.

I'm puzzled by your comment. When I grab a link using their Chrome extension they don't alter it in any way. And the fact that their format is essentially markdown means that nothing is lost when you use the markdown export feature - making migration away much cleaner.

which mobile operating system do you use?
