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 could die, or break their own API somehow.

I've struggled to grok Notion and Coda. What are the killer apps? I'm happy with Google Docs.

Coda is much more techie-focused, their powerpacks are 2nd to nobody. Notion is more for everyone. Literally after spending a week - it's pretty obvious how to use Notion because it's not super-feature-heavy. It just works. 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)

Yeah, but that’s the feeling but it (Notion) doesn’t just work (as well) is my issue.

I am the creator of Cloudpress [1], which takes a bit of different approach than most of the other Notion CMSs out there. Cloudpress assists you when you have an existing CMS or headless CMS and want to get your content from Notion into that CMS.

This is useful for teams that use Notion to write content (such as blog posts of help articles) but use a more traditional CMS to host that content. We use Notion internally for our blog posts and documentation which is hosted on Contentful.

Besides Notion, it also supports exporting content from Google Docs to any of the supported CMSs.

One day you'll all regret this.

I do already. Set a filter with checkbox -published As a guest just click on header and un-select it. (Aware of linked databases, which wont work as long as both of them aren’t public) So u HAVE to use another sass which publishes it Want to front a custom domain?nah cant do it. Notion is a wiki/schemaless doc store on steriods, trying to run a blog on it is like trying to fit a ball thru a square, possibly can be done, but with a lot of waste and effort.

What is Card? Google isn’t turning anything up for me.

It’s this I think. https://carrd.co/ But as far as I know, you can’t make blogs with Carrd. It’s only for small one page websites.

You can, just not as efficiently as your solution or Wordpress or Ghost or whatever :)

Yeah.

Some of my customers are using https://carrd.co along with my https://feather.so

Carrd for the landing page and Feather for other pages.

For example,
