Forgetful? The solution is Notion's new free plan.

Notion has always been a good wiki tool. And now it has a free plan.

I even did a small review comparing Airtable, Notion and Coda. And I have always considered that the Notion It is a superior tool for organizing your knowledge base.

How to create apps without being a programmer?
Meet the no-code movement and build your web apps yourself.
But what is a knowledge base?

There are disposable notes, for example: reminders and to-do lists. In fact, your goal is to get rid of them. On the other hand, there are notes that you want to keep for a long period of time . This type of organization is known as a wiki and has always been popular in corporate environments. A good use case for a wiki is to educate a new employee about the company's routines.

There are established applications in this area, such as Confluence and the person himself GitHub . But I think there was always room for a mainstream wiki, which would introduce the concept beyond the corporate or hacker environment. Now, with Notion's free plan, this option finally exists:

Notion has always been a great option, but it was too expensive. In fact, it remains an expensive option for collaborative use (as the price is per user). The novelty is that if you are going to use Notion alone, you no longer have to pay.

When I say that it is possible to use it alone, it concerns the editing powers. Nothing prevents the sharing of the content link (for reading only), which by the way is one of the easiest ways to publish a simple page on the internet or even a small website.

Yes Notion is so powerful that the result of the publication is quite comparable to several well-known solutions on the market . At least, if your requirement is too high, you can think of Notion as a prototyping tool. This way you can - at least - put your idea on the air and gather feedback until you decide to develop the site with a greater investment.

Another reason for you to have a knowledge base is that it is a very complementary tool to the chats we use today : Whatsapp, Slack, etc. If you're only investing in the disposable, you may be forgetting something.

So, forgetful, look at Notion's new plan and this should help not to forget what we just think we have learned, but end up forgetting in the long run. And you can also share your knowledge base with other people, preventing them from being the ones who don't forget.
