Beyond basic note taking, Notion offers in-page databases with wiki, gallery, timeline, calendar, and kanban functionality. I’ll share my Notion creative writing templates here once I tweak them a bit more! I spent a weekend migrating my life onto the app and created a wiki for my book. When Google Docs acts up, I write directly in Notion. It’s visually pleasing, especially in dark mode.
