Their generous offering of 10gigabytes of free storage along with a private, ad-free, end-to-end encrypted experience always sounded too good to be true. There was no way they could sustain that business model long term. At least they’re giving users enough time to jump ship and have not sold their data to Notion (judging by their twitter replies).

There is a not-insignificant amount of start ups and small projects out there looking to hook the privacy-minded crowd seeking smaller, independent replacements for Microsoft /Google/Apple’s various services and suites.
And that’s good in the sense there’s more options, but a lot of them don’t seem to be from people that truly believe in their product, they just want to get enough users to sell it off.
