next-notion-portfolio VS nextjs-notion-starter-kit

You can find the source code here.

Like any project, a developer portfolio should be well thought of before starting. What do you want to showcase? How do you want it to look? How do you want to manage it? what tools and frameworks to use? In this article, I am going to take you through the tools I have used and why I chose to use them. It’s important to keep in mind the “why”, as it’s easy to lose track of what is required even in something as simple as a static portfolio site. This article is the first part of a series where I break down my developer portfolio whose code can be found on github.

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.

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...
