⚠ This extension was written before Notion released their API, by basically reverse engineering the api and types.
The data types and systems were approximation and this hasn't been updated after their api release. Fortunately everything still works.
The extension creates a side panel. Checkout the website for pictures and details!
If you want to fork it feel free. I would be happy with an attribution. :)
- uses webpack with esbuild plugin
- written in react and redux toolkit
- notion types in typescript
- use recoil or swr/rtk with state
- use notion api authentication
- change the mechanism to get the current page in state
- cache updates so its not so slow,
- maybe use
indexdbwithdexiejs sql litewithabsurd-sqlhttps://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql
- maybe use
- maybe use an existing notion rendering engine, there's a lot of options now
Notion is super slow, in search and fetch
- i would find a better way to cache results
- faster better way to check for updates to dom and mutation
I find their lack of classification of data types a bizzare decisions. Personally, i would have extracted Page as its own type just like collection, block, table. I think this would make things a lot faster in the backend and easeir in front end without sacrificing flexibility. This concrete page model would lend itself to a org wide tasks model in the future as well.
I don't think everything needs to be dynamic and maximally flexible. Opininiated types are useful at times.
