An alternative you might find interesting: https://engine.so

Engine isn’t the same as alternatives such as Super and Fruition. Engine is a tool to turn notion pages into out-of-the-box tools for your company. Currently, we convert notion pages into a public searchable knowledge base that can be used for help guides, documentation pages, API references, or external wikis.

This means you get the convenience of writing in Notion, and we handle the complexity so it’s also convenient for your customers to browse and consume this information on your website.

I’m not sure if you’re running a business/freelancing, but if you are then this tool might be what you’re looking for. If you’re just an individual looking to put up a portfolio website, then I’d recommend one of the other options as they’re all really great for that use-case!

I hope this helps a bit .

NotionDog might help.

And, it’s free.

Hey Chris! Great summary (I’m a big notion lover myself), and I would add there’s one more way to use notion as a CMS (with gatsbyJs) that is quite simple to setup.

I wrote about it on my own notion powered blog here: https://www.conradlin.com/blog/posts/host-gatsbyjs-blog-with-notion-cms-and-netlify-for-free/

Following the right steps, you could potentially get up and running (with a netlify instance) in under 10 mins!

I’m a coda.io fan myself. Similar to Notion but with a great API which could be extended to power websites.

In reply to Termy. The official clients are Electron-based wrappers of the website. You can use the website on Linux just fine. Alternatively, there are tools like Nativefier which turn any website into a cross-platform desktop app using - you guessed it - Electron.

In reply to Termy. Most of the people I work with prefer using it on the web, just as some anecdotal information.

Here I read about notion for the first time. My first thought was that it sounds interesting. Then I read on the page and my interest was further awakened. But then I have to realize that there is no (official) Linux client, we can still be with such a tool today. Especially in the development environment, which can use a tool like n otion, the distribution is quite high.
Therefore it is unfortunately out of question for me at the moment.
