Notion is a note-taking application. It aims to be an all-in-one workspace for note-taking, project and task management.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Highly visual
With icons next to every new page. This feature makes it very easy to find certain notes and such. And great for visual people as well. You could also add images as icons instead, if you like.
Pro Blocks offer incredible flexibility
The basic unit of organization in Notion is the block, which can be a chunk of text, an image, a bullet point, or even a link to another page. Each page consists of these blocks, which can be easily reorganized, moved to other pages, converted into other content types, or generally manipulated in many useful ways. Because of blocks, restructuring information in Notion is way easier than in any other wiki or notebook app.
Pro Does a great job with both notes and to-dos
To-dos in Notion aren't just dot point lists. You can drag and drop them into columns just like Trello (Kanban style), you can have sub-tasks, and you can easily mark things off as completed so they are no longer in your way. Notes are also powerful, with proper formatting and ways to manage and search for them, which makes it a great Evernote alternative.
Cons
Con Not yet a new protocol, as it could be
Think of scuttlebutt or email. The best Evernote alternative would be a "web 3.0" of sorts. Something that would be just a simple file added to a computer and automatically replicated to other computers along with a website. and any company could easily pick up the concept and make their own hosting, including some awesome Google Drive/host of sorts.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Highly visual, with icons next to every new page and so on

Pro Renders Markdown syntax
Add code blocks, headers, bullet point, numbered lists, or to-do boxes by typing using Markdown syntax (instead of clunkily moving the mouse to formatting boxes).
Con no true backup
true backup can only exist if it's automated and easily recoverable. else, it's just an outdated copy or useless scrambled data.
