Interested as Well, in Particular in Using Notion as a CMS

At a glance

The community members are interested in using Notion as a CMS, but the initial implementation will only support CMSs that provide HTML output, as Notion does not have this feature out of the box. The community members are discussing the criteria for selecting the first CMS to support, such as having a free tier, not requiring a GitHub repository, and being easy to integrate. They are considering categories of services rather than individual CMSs, and the goal is to have community champions maintain each integration. The community members are currently looking into Hygraph and are open to considering other options like Baserow, which has a free tier and is self-hostable.

Generally curious how one handles such cases elegantly: WS as the tool to create page-templates, that also pulls in text and images and publishes them.

Notion or any proper CMS mostly as the authoring and cataloging tool.

For the first iteration we will support only cms with html output. Notion sadly does not have it out of the box. Later we thinking about implementing some proxies to workaround this limitation.

Thanks for this clarification, Bogdan. I remember reading Oleg being in favour of Notion as a CMS – but it makes sense to take care of straightforward implementations first.

will there be a list of fully supported CMS we can choose from when it gets released?
OOleg Isonen
we will just start with one that works best and then add more and actually allow others to add more over the marketpalce
OOleg Isonen
the easierst once are those which don't require creating a github repository to even start the cms and have a free tier
OOleg Isonen
those are easier to start with but not always the best in general
OOleg Isonen
pricing varies also so much
OOleg Isonen
We basically need to support categories of services
OOleg Isonen
once we unlock one category, lots of cmss from that category are easy to add
OOleg Isonen
in particular its good to have community champions who will maintain each integration, so we need tobasiclaly focus on category defining services
OOleg Isonen
e..g a CMS that has a cloud, free tier, doesn't require github and has an html output for RTE is a first category, the eariest one to support
OOleg Isonen
actually we need to start a table where we put each of them and put the checkmarks for each service property, not even necessary a CMS, any API-driven service
OOleg Isonen
right now we are looking into hygraph btw

would something like Baserow eventually be considered?
ppaulrudy
free tier and also self-hostable

You can already use it. Our redources do regular http requests.
