Super notion website8/15/2023 But we don’t really use Trello much these days but we’ve used Notion for planning for ages. On ShopTalk Show we have an ask question form and we sent those submissions to Trello as a way to put them somewhere where we could reference and organize them. I was ready to get using this API right away. Even better, they have Zapier and Automate integrations, so you can wire up just about any app-to-app integration to you can think of. For example, you can connect a form on TypeForm to a Notion database so that new entries are automatically placed there. I also think it was super smart of Notion to include pre-built integrations with other services people are definitely going to want. Apps like Super can rest easy knowing there is a real API for this so they don’t have to do whatever workaround they were doing before (scraping?) and this kind of usage is likely encouraged, if anything. What if Notion didn’t like that usage and cut it off somehow? Or released their own similar tool? Meh, not risky anymore. For example, Super was always a pretty neat way to make a Notion-powered website, but it felt a little risky to me. This changes the game on some existing services. They have detailed documentation, expected barriers like rate limits, and even a JavaScript SDK. Those aren't the only choices, but they are safe, educational, and inexpensive (free in the case of Jekyll, Hugo, and Gatsby).This is a full-blown API, so you can do things you’d expect to be able to do, like cURL for users, the content of pages, and manipulate databases. I'd generally recommend WordPress as a basic safe choice, something like Jekyll or Hugo for people who know HTML and don't mind writing in markdown, and Gatsby or Next for programmers. If they wrestle with WordPress for a couple of years, but eventually fail at entrepreneurship, they will still have gained valuable technical skills that they can apply elsewhere in their professional lives. One more reason not to use Notion-based CMSes is that people aren't going to develop their technical knowledge that way. If someone has HTML/CSS knowledge, they can use something like Jekyll or Hugo, and self-host for free on Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or DigitalOcean App Platform. Also, WordPress is open-source, so you aren't locked into any kind of hosting or CMS if you decide to migrate later. If you manage WP yourself, you can host it for 1/3 of the price of the one you mentioned. That looks like it has better SEO than the two other Notion site-builders I looked at, but for half the price you can get fancy, managed WordPress hosting that allows for more traffic (wpengine). This place may be a ghost town, but it's our ghost town.
