Yesterday, while trying out Notion 3.0, I found myself quickly losing interest. 昨天试用 Notion 3.0 过程中，越用越无趣。 Take connecting Linear into Notion as an example. We’ve only been using Linear for less than a year, yet the connection estimate was over 30 hours. The time wasn’t the real problem—what struck me was how the whole process suddenly killed any motivation I had to continue. 比如同步 Linear 到 Notion 中，我们用 Linear 还不到一年，提示要 30+ 小时。这个时间还是其次，更重要的是，尝试过程中，突然没了欲念。 When it comes to project management, Notion is like a spear, while Linear is a machine gun. There’s no point in forcing a machine gun to behave like a spear. 在项目管理这块，Notion 是把长矛，Linear 是架机关枪。没必要把机关枪同步成长矛。 Notion’s real genius lies in its abstraction of Blocks and Bases. Blocks come together to form Pages, and Pages can be assembled into SaaS-like experiences (though not fully realized). Notion 的厉害之处，是 Block 化和 Base 化的产品抽象。由各种 Block 组装成了一个个 Page，再由多个 Page 组装成一个个 SaaS（未达成）。 But this strength might also be its biggest weakness. A Page built from Blocks and Bases will never truly become a Calendar, Mail, Slack, or Linear. To get there, Notion would have to acquire or rebuild those applications entirely. Notion 的厉害之处，可能也就是 Notion 最大的傲慢之处。由 Block + Base 组装成的 Page，成为不了 Calendar、Mail、Slack、Linear 等垂类应用。这类应用，还是得收购或重新构建。 At the end of the day, Notion is still a document collaboration tool. Notion 的底盘，依旧只是文档协作。 What’s interesting is that in the age of AI, documents are starting to find more natural homes. Product design docs, for example, can now live directly in Cursor inside the codebase. Project collaboration docs can sit in Linear itself—a long issue is essentially a document. 有意思的是，AI 时代，让各种文档开始有了更好的归属。比如产品设计文档，经常可以直接用 Cursor 写在代码仓库里。项目协作文档，则可以直接写在 Linear 里（长一点的 issue 就是文档）。 In this new era, Notion’s foundation isn’t getting stronger—it’s actually getting thinner. Documents that don’t need collaboration now have better places to go. What’s left in Notion are only the documents that still require collaboration. AI 时代，Notion 的底盘没有变厚，而是变薄了。不需要协作的文档，有更好的地方去写。Notion 里剩下的，是需要协作的文档。 And looking further ahead: if people increasingly collaborate with AI instead of other people, even Notion’s collaboration layer could be shaken. 进一步的可能是，如果人越来越不需要与人协作，而是与各种AI协作，那么，Notion 的协作底盘都会被动摇。 The next generation of Office might not have “documents” at all. 全新一代的 Office 里，可能就没有文档。
