notion-to-md VS pages-cms

This is very cool! I recently started managing my Astro site content with Notion as a CMS, thanks to `notion-to-md` [1] and `@notionhq/client` [2] but media management is a hassle.

I had been planning to re-host Notion media files to Cloudflare R2 and rewrite content, but it might just be simpler to use Pages CMS due to built-in R2 support.

But also, I like using Notion apps on the go. Hmm.

I’ve never used it, but there’s a Notion to Markdown converter on GitHub: https://github.com/souvikinator/notion-to-md

Notion works with content blocks. Each paragraph and each formatted section is a block on its own. Fetching that from Notion gets me a load of nested objects that are cumbersome to work with. I'm using NotionToMarkdown to take care of that. This will give me a markdown string from a Notion page that's easy to work with. Beware it’s just a markdown string, though. Using it in a template will output the unrendered string. But if we put that into a markdown file, from which eleventy will generate pages, it will also render the markdown string to HTML.

One can add custom parsing logic for specific blocks. More details here

Thanks to everyone for using notion-to-md and actively contributing and reporting issues. It has now 200+ stars on GitHub and 1000+ weekly downloads on NPM.

Haven’t done that myself, but I do know there’s a Notion to markdown converter that seems like it might be worth checking out.

Opened new issue at https://github.com/pages-cms/pages-cms/issues/3 with documentation.

On the second comment, kind of figure it was a WIP currently, hence suggestions. Thanks for the work, as its a fairly light weight way to have a quick little CMS.
