Potion

I switched from super.so and I absolute love the instant update. Used to smash the refresh button quite a bit to get things to update!

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…

I think it's more for existing Notion users that may wish to have a tiny microsite about something. Someone already invested in Notion isn't going to care about self-hosting.

Whilst there will be lots of folks who complain at performance - its not as if notion is designed to be the backend api for a website, but i have to believe that continuing to…

notion websites are so slow. Google's page speed for your home page has a score of 42. Why does it say "fast page speed" and "great seo"? This [1] demo scores 81 and this[2] has…

42 is pretty bad and I'm getting a 33 on potion.so, 60-70 on the demos (it could be that the server load from HN is contributing to it). I just spent some significant effort…

42 is actually awful... My WordPress sites with large amount of images and content are all above 90, easily

A tiny microsite for $120/year tho.

This. $10 a month isn’t unheard of but when commodity VPS hosting is $5 a month (if not less) and stuff like WordPress.com is $8 a month and Netlify and GitHub Pages exist, I…

I mean this is cool and all but this is literally double lock in. Notion can't be self hosted and neither can this. Why would you depend on either of these for your website. Not…

I haven't been this excited about a website builder for a long time. I can definitely see myself switching from Squarespace to this! Could you please clarify whether we can use…

Something like the “hover to pop out” menus on the notion.so website. There are navigation menus in potion.so at the moment (they’re great!), but they only support 1 level. For…

Nice stuff, what sets you apart from your competitors like https://super.so/ ?

Don't take this the wrong way, it must be scary to do a Show HN, so high5 to you, but...what's the appeal of this over a Carrrd, Wix or Squarespace which already has a good UI /…

How does this compare to, for example, Squarespace?

Nice stuff, what sets you apart from your competitors like https://super.so/ ?

For nav menu do you mean something customizable or breadcrumb “menu” following Notion’s/the url sort of thing? What do submenus mean for this? I’m using super.so right now and…

Most people don't care, they just want a site that works. It's useful because Notion itself is WYSIWYG where whatever you type is what shows up, much more flexible than something…

> much more flexible than something like WordPress WordPress is endlessly extensible and customizable, so I don’t think Notion would be more flexible. Maybe Notion is simpler or…

I prefer to use Github Pages

You know a site like this can be entirely static and hosted for free with github pages, gitlab pages, netlify, vercel, or any other free static site host.
