CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES 9 | REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS 10 | PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM 11 | THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED 12 | HEREUNDER. 13 | 14 | Statement of Purpose 15 | 16 | The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer 17 | exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator 18 | and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of 19 | authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). 20 | 21 | Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for 22 | the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and 23 | scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear 24 | of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other 25 | works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever 26 | and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. 27 | These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free 28 | culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific 29 | works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in 30 | part through the use and efforts of others. 31 | 32 | For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any 33 | expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person 34 | associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she 35 | is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily 36 | elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its 37 | terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the 38 | Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights. 39 | 40 | 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be 41 | protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and 42 | Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not 43 | limited to, the following: 44 | 45 | i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, 46 | communicate, and translate a Work; 47 | ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); 48 | iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or 49 | likeness depicted in a Work; 50 | iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, 51 | subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; 52 | v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data 53 | in a Work; 54 | vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the 55 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal 56 | protection of databases, and under any national implementation 57 | thereof, including any amended or successor version of such 58 | directive); and 59 | vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the 60 | world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national 61 | implementations thereof. 62 | 63 | 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention 64 | of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, 65 | irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of 66 | Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes 67 | of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as 68 | future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories 69 | worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or 70 | treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future 71 | medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, 72 | including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional 73 | purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each 74 | member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and 75 | successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to 76 | revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or 77 | equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public 78 | as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 79 | 80 | 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason 81 | be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the 82 | Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into 83 | account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the 84 | extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected 85 | person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, 86 | irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and 87 | Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the 88 | maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future 89 | time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number 90 | of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without 91 | limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the 92 | "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was 93 | applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any 94 | reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such 95 | partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder 96 | of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she 97 | will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related 98 | Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of 99 | action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's 100 | express Statement of Purpose. 101 | 102 | 4. Limitations and Disclaimers. 103 | 104 | a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, 105 | surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. 106 | b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or 107 | warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, 108 | statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of 109 | title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non 110 | infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or 111 | the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to 112 | the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. 113 | c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons 114 | that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without 115 | limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. 116 | Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary 117 | consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the 118 | Work. 119 | d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a 120 | party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to 121 | this CC0 or use of the Work. 122 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /notion.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Notion 2 | 3 | Basic Info | Notion 4 | ------------ | ------------- 5 | Type | Collaborative documents platform 6 | Platforms | Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android 7 | Pricing | Free (partial functionality) or paid (full functionality), [link to pricing page](https://notion.so/pricing). 8 | Security | Server storage, TLS encrypted, [link to privacy policy](https://www.notion.so/Privacy-Policy-3468d120cf614d4c9014c09f6adc9091). 9 | License | Proprietary 10 | 11 | # Overview 12 | ``` 13 | Write a general overview of the tool, its core features, availability, and pricing. 14 | ``` 15 | Notion is collaborative documents platform primarily aimed at teams and enterprise customers, but it also suitable for personal use. 16 | 17 | # History 18 | ``` 19 | This section should contain a summarized history of a tool's developement and information about the makers behind it.

Our aim is to create an accessible and comprehensive lexicon of the many modern tools for modern work. This is a community-led project curated by the team at [Tools For Thought](https://forthought.tools), who are currently managing the 11 000+ [Discord server](https://discord.gg/hGNfbtRPS5) and the 100 000 plus [r/Notion subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/). The website version is updated on a weekly basis, independently of this repository. 4 | 5 | # How to contribute? 6 | 7 | If you want to add/modify anything in our wiki, simply open a [pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) with your name as the title. Then, make all your edits - when you're done, submit your pull request for review, and if everything looks good, we'll have it merged into the main branch ASAP! You're free to open as many requests as you'd like, just don't open multiple PRs *simultaneously*. If you see an already open PR requesting to merge changes to an article you're planning to work on, wait a bit until it gets approved to make sure your work doesn't get overwritten by someone else. 8 | 9 | If you want to write about a tool that *doesn't yet have an article*, duplicate [template.md](https://github.com/ToolsForThought/tool-wiki/blob/master/template.md), rename it with the tool's name, and start writing. Make sure to replace all variables with options from [variables.md](https://github.com/ToolsForThought/tool-wiki/blob/master/variables.md). They are essentially a way to introduce common classification of the tools for quick comparisons. Think of them like "tags". 10 | 11 | All articles need to be wrtiten neutrally, from an objective, academic-like point of view.

Best way to do this is via find+replace. Please have this list open while writing a new article and watch out for text in {{}}, which means it's a variable you should modify. 2 | 3 | ## List 4 | 5 | 1. **{{tool-name}}** - the tool's name in a human-readable format, the way it is officially spelled and typed. Example: **Standard Notes** instead of **S. Notes**, or **ClickUp** instead of **Click Up**. 6 | 2. **{{tool-type}}** - a general, unified descriptor of what the tool does. Quite a few tools do more than one thing, but in *95%* of cases it is possible to generally describe the tool's main purpose. If you have strong doubts about a particular tool, mention this in your PR merge request. Here are the types to choose from: 7 | - Note-taker 8 | - To-do manager 9 | - Calendar 10 | - Communication 11 | - Personal Knowledge Management 12 | - Hand-written notes 13 | - Mind-map 14 | - Visual workspace 15 | 16 | 3. **{{tool-pricing}}** - an overview of the pricing model. These models are often complicated and depend on a variety of factors, so we use a very simplified description. For a more detailed look a link should be added to a tool's pricing page. Here are the descriptions to choose from: 17 | - Free (full functionality) 18 | - Free (full functionality) or paid (bonus functionality) 19 | - Free (partial functionality) or paid (full functionality) 20 | - Paid (full functionality) 21 | 22 | 4. **{{tool-platforms}}** - a list of platforms the tool is available on. Please include all that apply, even if some have limited functionality. 23 | - Web 24 | - Android 25 | - iOS/iPadOS 26 | - Windows 27 | - Mac 28 | - Linux 29 | 30 | 5. **{{tool-security}}** - a generalized summary of the tool's security & privacy practices. Include a link to their privacy policy, if one exists. Descriptions to choose from (feel free to mix & match): 31 | - Local storage, unencrypted 32 | - Local storage, encrypted 33 | - Server storage, TLS encrypted 34 | - Server storage, AES encrypted (or similar end-to-end protocol) 35 | - Peer-to-peer storage, unencrypted 36 | - Peer-to-peer storage, encrypted 37 | 38 | To be expanded. 39 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
