eternia VS nextjs-notion-starter-kit

https://www.catpea.com/ custom code exploring github editable data, that is then processed into a local .cache folder and made into an express (JS) website which I then spider to convert into a static version.

UI uses bootstrap with minor modifications.

Compilation is handeled via https://github.com/catpea/eternia which I can't replace with hugo, as I want to have a notion of books, playlists, maybe javascript apps in some articles. I need a custom static site generator.

I am learning how to Narrate audiobooks while reading my own poetry, and learning how to write out philosophical ideas in the process.

I also convert the audio into simple videos on youtube, and recently uploaded a 70+ hour behemoth to the Internet Archive (3.6GB) https://archive.org/details/@catpea-com

I recommend making an audio recording of your writings (I use audacity and a mic with a pop/plosive filer) even if just for your family for 50 or a 100 years from now.

I have no views, I have no time to argue with people which is why I keep away from social media, I only have time make a stranger laugh (I do digital portraits on reddit and occasionally compose a weird song on youtube).

As to the content it self, I am just exploring random subjects, that capture my own curiosity. It is nothing special, it will take me a couple more decades to grow into a writer. This is my start.

Currently I am babbling about digital painting, previously 3D Printing, Music Composition, Circuit Design, Programming, Teaching, Dancing (I dance to Blanco Brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7U6AoZ27yE at the gym every day I can't help it), Bicycling, Camping, and sending people on the Appalachian trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSvdKTEZug

I host with vercel, as a hobby project. If you want to grab all the audio, use the archive.org or youtube. The archive.org link has everything one file, and youtube has a playlist you can hop around.

I am not a fan of ads, I understand YouTube maybe running their own ads on videos I did not monetize. If I recorded a video of my readings, and did video editing, I would regret putting all that time into videos that now would have ads between them.

I like being a narrator, not a fan of videos, decades from now I'll write an AudioBook, in which I complain about High School.

I love coming across a great blog like this an realizing it was built using two of my open source repos:

- https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter...

- https://github.com/NotionX/react-notion-x

Here is a repo I used as a starting point before (repo is not mine) https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter-kit

The github page: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter-kit

Most of services tried to take money from me for custom domains, sitemap, theme etc. Sorry, I don't have enough money for that. 2. nextjs-notion-starter-kit This was the second for me. ① Cannot handle path well It is OK to map your page to /one but it throws 404 error when path is /one/two or /one/two/three. Since I have to map URL like /category1/subcategory2/sub-subcategory3/sub-sub-subcategory4/page5, this is serious problem. Other than that, it seems quite nice. 3. loconotion ① Does not sort pages in directories I tested this without mapping pages to path, but it seems it doesn't sort pages in directories when processing Notion pages. I found python script that sort those pages, but it doesn't support Windows, the only OS I use for general use. ② Slow generation If my site have few pages, it might be good choice, but my site has ~100 pages and a lot of pages will be added in near future. If it converts every pages whenever I launches it, it would take a lot of time. 4. Fruition I think it is just converting Notion page URL into mapped URL. Kind of nice, but still slow as Notion's shared page is. But I think it is doing some 'magic'. I didn't know that CF Worker can do such job. I'm currently using this.

If you want more control over your website via React, then we recommend checking out the accompanying Next.js starter kit, which is free and uses react-notion-x under the hood.

https://transitivebullsh.it

It's powered by Notion as a CMS, react-notion-x, Next.js, and Vercel.

I published an open source starter kit so anyone can easily create similar sites: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter...
