I would agree if this was a real product trying to compete...

But this is clearly someone stretching their legs on a tech stack with an homage to Notion.so, not a competitor

I mean they literally recommend the original in the first pargraph:

> This clone tries to replicate some of the great note-taking features Notion has. If you don't know Notion.so yet, I highly recommend to check it out!

The demo is just that, a demo. There's a very clear precedent for this sort of naming for tech demos that reimplement a product in a new tech stack



And more importantly, the actual company Notion could lose their trademark if they don't try to prevent this. Something few developers understand.

Spam was a trademark, it came into common use - it was no longer a trademark.
