    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.

    Notion isn't Project Management, it's more general documentation and collaboration, unlike Wrike.
