Is Notion Database a Good Fit for CMS?
I'm curious—can Notion's database be used effectively as a CMS for websites? 🤔
For example, managing content for an e-commerce site or a news/blog platform.
Has anyone tried this? I'd love to hear about your experience! What are the pros and cons of using Notion as the backend for a website?
Looking forward to your insights! 👀
AI Interfaces of the Future (YC video w/ Rafael from Notion Calendar)
I really enjoyed this breakdown by @raphaelschaad and @aaron_epstein (YC partner):
They walk through some cutting edge AI apps:@Vapi - voice api for devs@Retell AI - build voice agents@Gumloop - AI zapier@AnswerGrid - outbound research@Polymet - AI product designerZuni - ai in your chrome sidebarand @Argil - video clone generationThey talk about some recurring themes:- When prompts take a long time, give the user something engaging to do while they're waiting.- Canvas is a powerful UX paradigm for understanding workflows. I appreciated Rafael's insight that zooming in / out can allow for understanding a complex workflow at multiple levels of fidelity. - Voice interfaces - latency and interruptibility are the main factors in a good user experience.- Discoverability / templates. The problem with LLM prompts is they're so open - I don't know what I can do with them. Have some easy templates at your users' fingertips as a starting point. One big area I found missing is the subtleties of code assistants - In particular, I feel like the cutting edge of LLM interfaces is being explored by the likes of @Cursor , @Windsurf - and other code assistants that are being used in high-stakes production code. The other reason code assistants are interesting to me is that it appears these products are winning based on the interface, not the underlying models (since those are fungible). If you use Windsurf, Cursor, I'd love to hear what about the UX design feels new / superior.Notion Alternatives

Notion is seriously the coolest productivity tool I've ever used. It's like a mix of Trello, Google Docs, and Evernote all rolled into one. I use it to keep track of everything from my to-do list to meeting notes to personal journal entries. The customization options are endless – you can create tables, embed media, and choose from a ton of formatting options to make your pages look exactly how you want. Plus, it integrates with so many other tools, like Google Drive and Trello, which makes it super easy to keep all of my work in one place. I honestly don't know how I managed to get anything done before I started using Notion. It's seriously a game changer.

This is genuinely an amazing upgrade! Very clean, but also very easy to explore templates and find the new (and hidden) ones.
Creator profiles is the biggest game changer for me! I think this was much needed as I did try to find creators I follow through the search bar on the old gallery.
Great work guys! That's why we love you so much ;)
And since Ben asked, here's me!
