Can't think of a single use for this in Notion... But you can add a child page to a link block in the sidebar. And it doesn't appear anywhere else 🀯

Creating an audit log in Notion databases. Just created an ~8min walkthrough. The basic idea is: - Create a second database as your log. - Use an automation to save changes to it. - Use a custom layout to display those in the database page.

Syncing a Markdown file to an existing Notion page. With an image.

Syncing developer-written docs to Notion? A quick POC.

Bulk updating properties in Notion (large databases). AFAIK there are 3 ways: 1. Scroll, scroll, scroll. 2. Button automation. 3. Database automation. Each have their own advantages and limitations. Gotta pick the best for the job.

The winner: Laravel πŸŽ‰ My goal is rapid development, and it seems clearly ahead of Rails, Django, Phoenix/Elixir in that regard. I did the getting started guides and tried queueing a job, as I'll do that a lot for Notion integrations. This is how it went...

Next/Prev page properties in Notion. Use-case: Someone on Reddit asked :P

I was denied my advent calendar chocolate 3 days in a row. Why? Melted. It was 40Β°C (104Β°F) for two days, and needed another day to cool off. Chocolate melting is the hardest part of Christmas in summer. Northern hemispherians wouldn't understand ;)

Side quest time: Evaluating frameworks to build custom Notion integrations fast. βœ… Laravel Next: - Rails - Django - Phoenix/Elixir

Great database performance tips. Perhaps automations can replace some relations. E.g. instead of DB1 getting data from DB2 via a relation, when DB2 changes it can update DB1.

Notion webhook + Github Issue πŸ’š Love little things that reduce friction. 1. Choose code task to work on. 2. Press 'Create issue' 3. Wait a few seconds 4. Click link to new Github Issue. No need to: Open github, select repo, select new issue, type title, two way link to task in Notion.

Fun with Notion webhooks πŸ•ΈοΈπŸͺ - Task count in page icon. - AI generated cover images. - Auto-screenshot websites. - And a few more! This could get addictive ;)
