I have spent a lot of time watching a lot of Notion content on Youtube and I even read a bit of the Notion API Documentation to see if there’s any ...

Woah, that is an intense article. I really like some of the quotes you shared. I saved some of them in my notetaking tool, AmpleNote.
Also, really nice blog and microblog. One suggestion I have for your blog is to make a light mode (light background, dark font). The white text on black background was a little harsh for my eyes. But I am willing to sacrifice because you have some interesting articles!
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Implementing the light mode is in my "backlog" of things I need to do for my website. I hope I can get it done soon, a lot of people are like you who likes to read in light mode.
And that's nice you keep reading it even tho it's hard for you, thanks!
Hi @z2lai, I had some time to work on the light mode version. Still experimenting that before deploying to production. Let me know if you have some time to test it.
Hey, the light mode is much easier on the eyes than the dark mode. I think the other main thing was the high contrast between black and white. I've seen UX tips about using grey instead of black on white background to make the text easier on the eyes. Try using #333333 instead of black, here's an example: adhamdannaway.com/about
Applied the #333. It's in production now. Happy "light mode" reading!
It's beautiful!
That's insightful 👍
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing
That article looks very strong and motivational and I am sure that it will help me to build a certain habit. You have done some extraordinary work, while writing this article.
Increases your knowlage
I use notion but after reading this article, I feel like I’ve been using it the wrong way haha.
Thanks for sharing this :)
I'd like to know how you use Notion too.
I may be able to learn new things.
I love Notion! If you ever decide to dive into the world of Notion API integrations, I strongly recommend Pipedream – it's open-source, a LOT less restrictive than the other options I've found, and you can write your custom API calls straight into their deployed flows.
Bookmarked the documentation. I'll check it out later ❤️
I wonder where you publish the article and how you publish it. If it publishes in dev.to, I wonder if the markdown is compatible. I never try it before.
I publish to Hashnode and Dev.to.
The markdown is compatible but I have to manually copy between platforms. I am currently looking for ways to automate this process.
Cool. I think I will try your blogging workflow. Interesting way.
For automating the process, I think we will need to use the notion API and dev.to API. Also, will need a scheduled job to take the blog data from the notion.
Great! I look for to hearing how the workflow works for you.
Do you plan to work on connecting notion API to Dev.to API?
I remember using Notion at a previous workplace. Back then I always found coda.io more intriguing. Is Notion notably better than other such tools today?
I have not tried coda.io before but I think every tools have their pros and cons over different use case.
Obsidian.md graph view feaure is awesome to many but really requires extra effort from me which acts like a distraction sometimes.
And I have always have a drama with Notion. I install, use that for 2-3 days, and uninstall. Repeat every couple of weeks may be.. haha.. I don't no why : (
You can create a dashboard like I did. It may encourage ideas on how you can integrate Notion to your daily workflow.
Sure, Actually I feel distraction while working on Notion. I inspired to use that whenever I read a post like you posted. But again go back to Obsidian, my day to day tool.
Thank you for sharing this. I have not used notion, this is a big call to check it out.
You will find it productive
I have started using Notion recently as well.
I am still in the exploration zone, but I surely can tell that it's gonna be useful for me in the long run.
Have fun exploring Notion!
Check out Potion.so for bloggers looking to quickly turn Notion to blog website! Great post!
Awesome Bro
Thanks
I ended up bailing on Notion and moving to Obsidian. The markdown files just seem to work better for me.
I find the mind map feature in Obsidian very interesting too.
I used Obsidian initially when it launched. I'd check it out someday to see how far it's gotten better. Especially the community plugins.
I always had trouble finding old articles or I forgot some idea I had. I started using notion today because of this post!
Glad you find this helpful!
You can share how you plan to use it with me whenever you start
Thanks for your efforts! How long have you been using Notion?
More than a year now.
How long have you been using it too?
Great
Thanks!
I am a beginner.. so thank u for introducing me to notion
Awesome, Thanks!
You are welcome!
That is a good and motivational article to get started seriously with the Notion. I have used Notion for the notes taking for the lectures but I could not keep up with the Habit to continuously use Notion for the productivity thing. I have to pay attention to make the use of it habit.
Once again it is a great article for the motivational purpose.
