Advice, opinions? Using a hybrid of Notion & Proton Products?

Hey everyone.

I love Proton / Notion. I've made some really aesthetic / beautiful functional "tools" using Docs / Sheets. Right now it's just understandably still a bit too glitchy for me to use, despite trying and trying and trying to make the system work for me.

I shifted from Notion 100% to Proton (Drive, VPN, Docs/Sheets, Calendar). But I'm thinking of maybe doing a hybrid flow of still using Proton Products but going back to Notion.

A huge reason why is because I do a lot of budgeting, and me and my family do a lot of trips. With Notion I can have them download offline pages automatically, and the user interface is a bit more user friendly, or compatible across most devices, without having them open Drive / Docs / Sheets constantly and manually downloading things each time.

I just feel like I'm going "backwards" but I also want to continue supporting Proton (I have a paid yearly plan). But I also want to make use for what I pay for.

Weird question, but just open to any ideas / suggestions. Also, no bashing against Proton - I love Proton, just wanted some ideas! : )

For those concerned with privacy, what're your thoughts on Notion?

Hey everyone.

I love Notion, and I personally want to use it with family as we travel often. Love the idea of being able to create databases and everyone can just have their information all in one place, especially offline. Especially a place where we can put our expenses to help pay our fair share of whatever.

Also, I've made really cool things with it like a functional and aesthetic budgeting spreadsheet, books tracker, love the way I can make "apps" with Notion. So I really do miss it, and it's been about a year that I haven't used it.

The problem is I pay for Proton $120 a year (which I absolutely love too). And I've been trying to move away from big tech primarily, but also just really cut it down to one suite since I don't have university anymore.

For those of you who are concerned about privacy / data harvesting, any tips or reasons as to why you still prefer or choose Notion?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Notion and data collection is inevitable. But as I'm trying to break away, I feel like this is backwards for me in a way?
