Footnotes

They work as comments in notion, however, they cannot be inserted mid-paragraph via notion-to-md; they can only be inserted at the end of a paragraph. So like this footnote right here doesn’t show up until the end. 2

Footnotes also only work on h1s, paragraphs, todos, and bulletized lists. More notion blocks need to be added to notion-to-md.ts manually

Word Count

You can get word count by clicking the kebab in the notion page and scrolling to the bottom. The blog then converts word count to read time.

Syncing

For now, the blog is synced manually from notion. Simply grab the link from the Share button in Notion, then insert the link into scripts/notion-to-md.ts & run pnpm sync

💡 > if you rename the title of the page and then subsequently resync the notion page, then the notion page will be resynced to a new page in the blog
