Language based redirect is useless when the article doesn't exits in that language.

    My `Accept-Language` looks like `en-GB,de-DE;q=0,8,…` and for some reason Notion:

        - interprets this as me preferring German
        - tries to retrieve a non-existent German version of the page
    
    The HTTP semantics RFC[1] is quite clear that an unqualified value should be equivalent to 1.0, and I don't think content negotiation should ever prefer a non-existent resource to one that exists.

Notion’s data model is so good and the UI is great. I have read their privacy/data collection terms and it’s borderline acceptable. But it leaves a bad taste on my tongue whey I learned that they never wanted to implements e2ee with some bs explanation.

    Were there substantial changes to the data model? Especially in terms of how child ordering works

    Related question: if there were no changes, for instance, because it is too costly to change it now, would you choose a different model for this now?

Awesome. Is it possible to put this into Claude 3 Opus and create an open source import and rendering system? Or is that already a thing.

I would think that used together, the block model and RFC 1896 make a pretty complete setup.

This is great and all but notion is slow. After being a paying user for a number of years, i pulled the plug because of its atrocious performance.
