that day will come after i've saved more time than it takes to move to a different cms. it's possible i already have
Genuine question: why would you need to move to a different cms? If what you’re using works, why change it?
Notion hasn't been great for me; I wanted to like it and we got it for our team, but everyone is struggling when doing anything besides text. I used it for blogging, but currently only to actually write them, not publish because of the below issues. It's drag/upload images really dies when it's more than a few (on fiber, but that's not the point; in 2022 you need to remember what you were doing when uploading somethi…
I've struggled to grok Notion and Coda. What are the killer apps? I'm happy with Google Docs.
Basically if anyone wants to build an extremely beautifully crafted UI on top of Google Drive/Docs, you could perhaps have the same advantages of Notion in Google Docs (that would be my dream tbh)
You can use Excel as a CMS and while cool why use it for Prod? Especially because you are locking yourself into a company that may sunset or change pricing on the "feature" at anytime.
(I work at Notion) The public API is extremely important to the future of Notion. We maintain date-versioned backwards compatibility similarly to Stripe. When it comes to your content, you can export your entire Notion workspace (or just the part of it that’s your CMS) as Markdown/CSV or semantic HTML, including all your uploaded assets and files. The HTML export is read to host as-is or post-process with BeautifulSo…
Investors will want an exit event, sooner than later. IPO (unlikely in next 2 years, macro issues) or flipping it to ... someone.
Just the normal cycle, nothing Notion-specific.
I built an entire product just for doing this. https://usenotioncms.com I then used this and built a no-code blogging platform to publish content from Notion https://feather.so There is also an open source version for using Notion as CMS. That can be found at https://github.com/NotionX/react-notion-x

I commend you for building a beautiful tool, and your landing page is great. I personally find the pricing quite expensive. It's a blog. How can it be that expensive to host a blog, especially if you're just getting started? Looking at other options - first one come to mind is Card - that's much more affordable. I am glad you're giving a free trial - that's not a bad deal, at least people can try it before committing…
It's $15/month, but you can create any number of blogs with it. Not just a single blog.
There are people paying for it, so yeah, I think it is appealing enough for some people.
I especially get no coders as my customers. They can just whip up a page on Notion, and then instantly publish it to their blog. They get all the analytics, seo optimization, search and many other things out of the box. It's no different than how Ghost blog is charged at. Also, ghost cost is per blog.
My customers are mostly no coders, who don't code, but use Notion in their daily life to write content.

$15/mo is already super low, you need to recalibrate what good saas pricing is

well it shouldnt be surprising that businesses, especially people who are not developers like you, are much better customers to serve :) $15/mo is already super low, you need to recalibrate what good saas pricing is
But yeah, for some people, especially developers, it can seem a little high.
I will also change the pricing for sure in the future, once I have some business specific features like API access, multiple seats etc.
Just wanted to test the waters, and I was already able to get my first 100 customers, so I know this works. Now I just have to optimize the pricing and work on things that users request.
Notion is really the best writing experience out there. You can easily make rich pages of content with video and images, but to add those things in a flat markdown file is a pain!
So I made a workflow that will convert your Notion subpages in a specific page to open a pull request on Github to your blog.
Copy it to your own Pipedream account to use it for free: https://pipedream.com/new?h=tch_OQlfe5
I also put together a quick video to walk through how to set it up: https://youtu.be/HgOWnJSGo6w
Long story short, you just need to connect your Notion & Github accounts to the workflow, and define which Notion page you'd like to sync with Github.
Hope this helps writing a bit more fun!
One day you'll all regret this.
