You've picked quite a challenge.
Have you typed "/" in Notion lately? you got A LOT of features to build out.
I love Notion, mainly i think they've absolutely nailed down the documentation interface and experience.

Btw, their mobile app works great, i don't know what mobile issues you've encountered but i've seen nothing major.

What are the data security issues you've found with Notion, and how does your new system improve on that? Genuinely curious here.

Best of luck with your project, they could use some good competition :)

I'm actually quite curious about the security hazards as well. Anything you can disclose or share with us on that?

The main security (privacy as well) issue in notion is that your content is not crypted and is inserted in their db as clear as you wrote it.

The main mobile issue I see is that it doesn't have an offline mode.

When's the last time you checked on that?
notion.so/help/security-and-privacy

As far as I know Notion is fully encrypted and as safe to use as any documentation tool out there.
Nothing of course is 100% because anyone who thinks that is just a hacking case waiting to happen.

As for offline mode, i guess that's an issue for some, but i get the feeling most people using Notion are connected 24/7.

note: i am not on their payrol lol, i just love the product and have had no issues with it in the 2+ years i've been using it.
