🌶 Hot Take: 4 the music heads
Super inspired by
‘s recent tweet showing off his music library in Notion. Apart from objectively having some great picks in here - this just shows how creative you can be with Notion. My favourite projects are by far those that push forward culture - we actually both collaborated on a Virgil Abloh template a while back to commemorate his passing.
For anyone who’s an intentional music lover, this ‘listen next’ functionality gives you way more control than most streaming platforms
& finally - a favourites wall is a great final touch
