PowerTable
Powering-Up the Notion Workspace
"And that's where we are today.Google Docs made typewriters multiplayer. Dropbox brought file cabinets to the cloud.
But conceptually, they evolved little beyond their Industrial Revolution ancestors.
We duct-tape everything together with emails, copy/paste, and countless open tabs."

What would be the next best new feature to develop?
Increasing revenue by bringing more value to users (old and/or new)
PowerTable
New Feature Proposition:
Powered-Up Notion Database & Dashboard
PowerTable
PowerTable is a layered new feature that aims to provide to all users an upgraded and fitted experience on how they visualize, control and use their data in Notion.
An integrated solution with:
- Dashboard database view
- Interactive Dashboard Panels
- Workflow automatization (internal + API integrated)
PowerTable
From casual user that maybe "just want to get a better glimpse of their habit tracking" to heavy corporate users that "want to have better decision-making process by generating interactive and convergent Business Intelligence boards and panels ".
With PowerTable the Notion's users could create a new data-reading layer, powering-up their data visualization and analysis
Empower your workspace by easily generating database's dashboards
To premium users, by also allowing databases correlations and interactive Dashboards, PowerTable will help them to automate internal informational workflows.
While Teams & Enterprise could also integrate it to external worksflows
Together with the Notion API to be launched soon, the PowerTable will take Notion long miles ahead on their mission to be the All-in-One Workspace

Increase Revenue
PowerTable Advant.
- Low back-end and architectural impact;
- Front-end focused as it's mainly "database view";
- Potential to modular scalability.
Low-Complexity Development
- Use the already existing database structure/architecture;
- Use the API that is already under development;
- Opposed to "complex developments to restrict niches" approach, Example: Jira-like features.
