NotionApps is a no-code tool to build apps & portals from Notion databases. 2024 was a great year for our tool and I would love to share our journey (to 100++ paying businesses) here along with how 2025 would be an even bigger year for us.

Hope you like what I've shared.

To Copilot or not to Copilot?

My feelings about Github Copilot have evolved as the product has gone through its various stages. I wanted to voice some of my frustrations and offer some suggestions of how to make it better.

Great article! I absolutely love Notion and use it to track my tasks and create a second brain for myself. Notion is a beast for personal productivity. However, I think a lot more businesses have started using Notion to manage their products. When I talked to some of these businesses, I came across some common issues with Notion databases which pushed me to build NotionApps (https://www.notionapps.com), a tool to create apps on top of Notion databases. These are the problems I'm looking to solve: - Better user experience when using Notion databases on mobile - Notion is slow to use with large databases - Missing granular permissions when sharing data with others - Ability to share internal data with external users

When we started building NotionApps, we saw a constant problem across the Notion communities about the need to limit the visibility to rows based on the logged-in user. For example, in a Task management application, the logged-in user should be able to see only the tasks assigned to them.

We are trying to solve this through database permissions on NotionApps.

NotionApps (www.notionapps.com) is a tool to build mobile apps from Notion databases without any coding. For those familiar with no-code, our tool can be likened to what Appsheet/Glide is to Google Sheets or Stacker/Softr to Airtable. Our beta is live, in this version you can build view-only public apps. We are adding new features every week with the goal to provide the best app-building experience on Notion.

I am using it to write documentation for the product that I'm building. It's an app builder and requires extensive documentation. I spit out thoughts on to ChatGPT and ask it to structure those thoughts into a structure and complete sentences. It would take me 3x time to structure it myself. But I wonder if this means I'm getting lazy?

Great article! Couldn't agree more! I too have realized that when communicating in the async era, more clarity in writing leads to less wasted time. I re-read my messages when sending them to someone to ensure they are clear.

What a wonderful full circle moment! More power to you!
