    It's a comprehensive tool, good for teams managing different tasks and projects. Its interface feels a bit less polished compared to Notion's.

    Slite is really really easy to use for my entire team and it integrates with many apps!

    I think it's a great alternative to Notion because Slite is really focus on making the best tool for writing down and sharing knowledge (at least from my pov) and they are proposing integrations with other specific tool like trello, github, slack, asana...So well you have the best of both world. Notion is great but it's like lot of tools in one place but not the best ones.
