The Notion you ordered from Temu has arrived!

A lightweight, personal project management app that's definitely not Notion. It's Not-ion. Get it?

Not-ion is a personal project for organizing future "projects" - because we all have that one folder of ideas that will totally get done someday. Built as a fun exploration of what it takes to create a note-taking and organization app.

tl;dr: I wanted to understand how Notion-like apps work, so I'm building one. It's a knockoff, and I own it. 🎨

• 📄 Pages & Blocks - Create nested pages and content blocks
• ✍️ Rich Text Editing - Format your thoughts (or at least try to)
• 🎨 Clean UI - Minimalist design that's easy on the eyes
• 💾 Local Storage - Your data stays on your machine
• 🚀 Fast & Lightweight - No bloat, just the essentials

• React - Because components are cool
• Vite - Lightning-fast development
• Tailwind CSS - Utility-first styling
• pnpm - Fast, efficient package management

• Node.js (v18+)
• pnpm (or npm/yarn if you're old school)

# Clone this beauty
git clone https://github.com/Zenypher/not-ion.git

# Navigate to the project

• ✅ Because naming things is hard
• ✅ Because it's technically not Notion
• ✅ Because Temu knockoff jokes are funny
• ✅ Because I needed a project to learn React better

• It's not Notion (by design)
• Your productivity might not increase
• May cause excessive tinkering instead of actual work

• More block types (images, code, embeds)
• Database views
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Dark mode (because it's 2025)
• Export functionality
• Actually use it for project management

This is a personal learning project, but if you find bugs or have suggestions, feel free to open an issue! PRs welcome if you want to help make this knockoff slightly less knockoff-y.

MIT - Do whatever you want with it. Copy it, fork it, make it better than Notion (unlikely, but shoot your shot).

• Notion - For being the inspiration (and the thing I'm shamelessly copying)
• Temu - For existing and making this joke possible
• Coffee - For fueling this project
