Roamresearch.com (early impression) feels like it's built to solve a real problem, whereas Notion seems built so that productivity bloggers can post youtube videos about it.

Focus Check.

I feel like tinkering so I’m setting up a little pop-up portrait studio in my basement today. Up next, some simple lighting.
