Notion Sites

Notion Sites is a website builder that enables users to quickly publish content online using drag-and-drop blocks and templates. It focuses on ease of use for creating various types of sites, from personal pages to help centers, with features like custom domains, SEO tools, and AI assistance for content creation.

Notion Sites allows users to publish content online, similar to a publishing platform. It offers a rich text editor (Notion's drag-and-drop building blocks), supports user profiles (though not explicitly called 'following,' users can create personal sites), and has search and discovery features (SEO, search bar). It also has mobile app access and social sharing capabilities. However, it lacks explicit features for a recommendation engine, membership monetization, reader engagement metrics, or community feedback tools in the same way Medium does. While Notion has AI features that can assist with writing, it's not a core 'distribution & recommendation engine' for published content in the same vein as Medium's algorithmic feed. The monetization is for Notion's service, not for writers earning revenue based on reader engagement on their published content.
