Fascinating to see how Notion’s growth was driven less by heavy sales and more by the product inviting people to “play” with it. It feels less like a tool you use and more like a space you inhabit.

Makes me wonder: are we drawn to products because they solve problems, or because they give us the illusion of creating our own little world inside them?

Thank you. Really a great question. I think Notion is simple tool that makes everything easier for someone who wants to build some sort of system. This is especially helpful for someone non-techie. They do solve a problem but Notion is tool that we like to have even though there are countless others, and the sole reason being it's simple, easier, efficient, powerful, and free.
