Notion is an all-in-one workspace where your team can write notes, track projects, build databases, and share knowledge — all in one place. Instead of juggling separate apps for documents, project boards, and wikis, Notion puts everything under one roof. Over 100 million people use it, from solo freelancers to large companies. The free plan is generous. You get unlimited pages, a calendar, email, basic forms, and databases at no cost. When your team grows, the Plus plan starts at $10 per member per month and adds collaboration features. Notion also includes built-in AI that can search across your workspace, write drafts, summarize long documents, and fill in database fields automatically — saving you hours of manual work each week. Where Notion really shines is flexibility. You can mold it into almost anything: a CRM, a content calendar, a hiring tracker, or an internal wiki. It connects with about 197 other apps, including two-way syncing with tools like Jira, GitHub, and Asana. If your business needs one hub to organize everything, Notion is a strong contender.
Ghost helps you spin up and manage game servers on your own Hetzner Cloud account without touching the command line. You get a control panel that handles provisioning, starting, stopping, and deleting servers in about 60 seconds. Your servers and billing stay in your own Hetzner account — Ghost just orchestrates the work.
