noahbragg··on Embracing Failure: The Journey of a Builder and Maker
Great post! We learn a lot through our failures. We shouldn't be afraid of failure. It's how we build character and get to the next level.

Thanks for the question. Yes Potion does!

Hey! I'm glad your excited. And glad your trying it out. Edit 1 is probably not something I will get to in the next couple of months. Sorry about that! Edit 2 is on the roadmap. I agree, this would definitely be useful.
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
yeah, that makes sense. Potion actually recreates all the Notion blocks from scratch and then hosts it statically. Thats how we get around that issue.

Hey! Thanks for the question. Potion is really for those that love Notion. Notion is really great for certain kinds of sites. A wiki, help center or those that just want to have their portfolio site through Notion. Pretty powerful to be able to edit your notes and site in the same place. Instead of going back to your website builder where you are rusty and haven't touched for a couple of months.
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions.
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Thanks for this! Really interesting.
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Well there are lots of people out there that don't know how to or don't want to host a site on their own. and maybe they don't know how to code. So this would be a good option for them. Seeing lots of people like this for my current customers.
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Glad to hear it!
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Yep, haha. It does the job and doesn't smell!
noahbragg··on Show HN: I built a website builder on top of Notion
Awesome! Glad to hear it.

Thanks Andy! Yeah there is definitely some platform risk. I'm trying to build a close relationship with Notion which can help a bit. But at the end of the day there is still risk building on a platform. As soon as I can I'll try to be using the official api which will take away some risk. But it's not quite ready yet.

Thanks for the question. Two main things currently. When you update your Notion page or styles it updates your site immediately so it makes for a nice editing experience where you can see what your site would look like easily. Others don't do this as quickly. Could take a minute or two to see updates. Second Potion has a pricing model that is more friendly towards having multiple sites.

Cool idea! I have some coins. Excited to give them to some cool people!

noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
I like this plan! I think a lot of side dishes can turn into main dishes. Obviously you have to think wisely about what your starting with and make sure there are some possibilities for how it could become bigger and become its own thing. I'll have to think more about examples.
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Glad to hear it! Yes there are lots of opportunities for side dishes. Because all the big companies want to go for the big opportunities.
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Glad you liked it! Looks like you have a good plan! Hope it goes well!
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Another similar word I could have used is Entree or appetizer. It helps understand the size of the problem/product.
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Glad it resonated. I like what you're doing with saasify. Making it easy and quick to get businesses off the ground. Nice!
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Thats a good point. I think there are lots of ways to turn side dishes into main dishes. Really depends on what platform you start out on.
noahbragg··on Why I'm Building a Side Dish (and Maybe You Should Too)
Glad to hear it! Are you building a side dish or main dish?
